Gabe talks about Owen's struggles with their identity, zipping yourself back up to conform to society, and why the sad ending isn't an ending at all. Kat talks about the millennial struggle for identity, how a generation raised by TV saw themselves on screen, and that it's not too late to find yourself. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-ghouls-next-door/support

It Follows (2014): The Many Faces of the Monster

It Follows is a unique, dwelling horror film that delves into the abrupt loss of innocence after an assault. While it can be seen as a cautionary tale about STIs, its themes run much deeper.

Kat talks about the meaning of the monster, the importance of support systems after a traumatic event, and how the film's absentee parents solidify this as a millennial film. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-ghouls-next-door/support
