What genre is it, anyway? Anika tries to get to the bottom of it.

In the aftermath of the 2024 American presidential election, we set the record straight on big cats.

Featuring a conversation with special guests Sats Bhagwanjee and Nirupa Shah.

Special thanks to Cal, Camille, and Cassie for playing guess that cat with us.

Anika dives deeper than she ever meant to, and than perhaps anyone else has, into the plot of "Roar" (1981)

And, as always, Wikipedia and the places it’s led me.

Is the threat outside? Is it next door? Is it inside your house? There's no telling. There's no stopping it. It's not one, it's hundreds. From every direction. There's no escaping this horde of flesh devouring people.

That's the flavor of fear people that plagued people in the 60s. Relentless, and ubiquitous. How could one feel safe when everyone's a threat?

On this episode, we discuss a movie so formative to Kiara, she sees it's influence in nearly every scary movie she's watched!

Tell us what you think! About our episode or about this film!

We’re saddened to announce this will be our last episode. We’re throwing away our phones, laptops, tablets, and televisions, and we’re moving off grid, because “The Den” ruined our lives.

(just kidding about that first part, we’re not going anywhere - but we’re probably never going to sleep again)

Anika exposes Kiara to the scariest movie she’s ever seen; and Kiara really wishes she hadn’t.
