43:12||Season 3, Ep. 93For this episode, Nichole is going into M. Night Shyamalan territory with 2015’s The Visit.

87. Bodies of Horror: Episode 80 - The Front Room (2024)
41:02||Season 3, Ep. 87November is National Family caregivers Month and, for better or worse, The Front Room (2024) has quite a bit to say about caregiving (the title is a reference to a bedroom in the house reserved for an older loved one when they move in for additional care). While the film delves into harmful tropes, it also puts some aspects of caregiving that we don't often talk about in the spotlight and there's merit in discussing them.Additional Reading/Research:> 2024 National Family Caregivers Month> Caregiving in The US | The National Alliance for Caregiving> America's Military and Veteran Caregivers: Hidden Heroes Emerging from the Shadows | RANDFollow Nichole on Bluesky at @bodiesofhorrorpod.Intro and outro music is “The Wind Frazzled Your Long Brown Hair” by Flashback81.Follow them at Twitter now, too: @81flashbackIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!
