#88 May 2025


Candice had a week off this month so she read a lot! Lots of book talk about meta textual books with inserts and annotations and more. Plus lots of talk about horror being stories of grief, Twin Peaks and its weirdness, and the better than John Hughes coming of age movies of the 80s.
