⭐️ New Episode! ⭐️

This episode we discuss the recent Hulu horror flick, CONTROL FREAK, starring Kelly Marie Tran. It's a great film that delves into generational trauma through the lens of the supernatural, compulsive head scratching, and ants!

Joining us for this discussion is the movie's writer/director, @shallknow! It was an absolute delight to chat with Shal about the world he crafted as well as how him and his crew brought the film's creature, The Sanshi, to life on our screens.

If you haven't watched CONTROL FREAK yet, go check it out on Hulu! Then, find our discussion wherever you find your podcasts, or follow the link in our bio!

Shoutout to @jimstagram292 for the STUNNING artwork!
