'1000 Women in Horror's Alexandra Heller-Nicholas on 'May'

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas may be the foremost authority on women and horror, having written the book (and now documentary!) 1000 Women in Horror (youtube.com/watch?v=p2zLCzV9CAA). So it's appropriate that the character who made her feel seen is a woman in horror: Angela Bettis as the titular May in (past guest!) Lucky McKee's unforgettable 2002 indie psychological horror film, MAY.

After this deep dive into a classic, Jordan has one quick thing about another past episode of this show -- Kara Brown on 'The Philadelphia Story' (maximumfun.org/episodes/feeling-seen/kara-brow…) and setting the record straight on Millennial Feminism.
