Join Sarah, Alex and guest Anne Thériault as they discuss abandonment issues and anxieties about the horror of the 'urban' being unleashed upon the suburbs and threatening THE CHILDREN. This week's movie, of course, is Home Alone.
Anne is a feminist writer and author based in Toronto. Why Are Dads has gone international once again!
You can find Anne on Twitter and on Instagram.
Why Are Dads is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens.
You can find us on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon.
You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. She's also on Twitter.
Fresh Lesh produced the beats in this episode.
