Heredi-terrified (Hereditary - 2018)

Attack of the Final Girls

In honor of the podcast's one year anniversary Juliet and Theresa decided to celebrate by diving into one of modern horror's more emotionally heavy offerings: Ari Aster's 2018 film Hereditary. Luckily this film allows them to once again talk about some their favorite topics: issues of identity in cinema, greek mythology, and why you probably shouldn't conduct a seance.

Content warnings: mental illness and mental health, suicide, brief mentions of pregnancy loss
