Episode 173: Hard Candy

So on this week's episode, we have a lot of fun with your Top Ten Favorite Horror Films of 2005, before things take a pretty dramatic pivot towards the heartfelt, the heavy, and the provocatively hopeful as we discuss the challenging film by David Slade, HARD CANDY. The film itself wrestles with uncomfortable dynamics, in a way that causes us -- along with special returning guest Vera Goudie -- to have an honest and sensitive conversation about the troubles of predatory behavior, and the equally troubling tendency we have to mistake justice for vengeance and people for monsters. This is a difficult conversation, but remarkably hopeful, and you don't want to miss it.
