Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

Gena, Jenn, and Joe close out another year of White Ladies in Crisis with a look at Quebecois thriller Red Rooms (2023).The Pascal Plante thriller features an unknowable female protagonist (is she a sadist? A sociopath? A Lisbeth Salander-type vigilante?) and considers society's macabre fascination with true crime. It's cold, clinical and kinda fantastic!Plus: praise for lead Juliette Gariépy, the long take opening, a stunning Bitcoin conversion, and why we don't need an "ending explained" explanation for the film.Wanna connect with the show?> Gena: @genadoesthings (Instagram/BlueSky)> Jenn: @jennferatu> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!

For this episode, Nichole is going into M. Night Shyamalan territory with 2015’s The Visit. Seen as a return to form after a string of films not well-received, this film hits a lot of high notes but does something we have come to talk a bit about here on the pod: the intersection of ableism and ageism at the heart of the old people are creepy trope.Additional Reading/Research:> AACY – American Association of Caregiving Youth> Lighting Your Way: Managing Dementia Symptoms for CaregiversWant to share your thoughts on this film, or suggest a film to cover?
