We touch on Lacanian analysis; Tim Burton's delightfully dark and wonderfully weird world building; the value of the eccentric outsider; the importance of staying true to yourself; and the dangers of sanitizing the spooky out of children's stories.


Keen listeners will probably figure out that Vanessa is married to Carl Abrahamsson who has been on the podcast twice (first on ep 105 & recently to discuss Midsommar).

I'm looking forward to more conversations with my new favourite power couple!
