In a perfect meeting of minds, Steph is joined by Braaains podcast hosts Heather and Sarah Taylor, sisters of podcasting, filmmaking and mental health & disability awareness. Which means of course it’s just a light casual chat about the devastatingly terrifying Mike Flanagan series The Haunting of Hill House. We get deep into what makes this show so affecting, what it says about trauma and family’s tendencies to deal with it in all the wrong ways, and how we see our own family in the triumphantly dysfunctional Crains.
Happy Halloween Psychocinemaniacs!!!
