We’re keeping things spooky with Indy’s pick, the divisive 2018 Ari Aster psychological horror film: Hereditary. We go over the plot and hints to the action behind the scenes, talk demons vs. mental illness, decode some symbolism, debate the merits of slow burn horror, touch on the nature of free will… you know, the usual stuff.
Yes, we do explain the ending.
I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa
