The characters depict a non-violent, non-promiscuous nature, showcasing a profound monogamous commitment that may surpass even real-life examples. Their behaviors, while deemed odd by societal standards—such as wielding a machete and engaging in theatrical blood scenes—are normalized within their family context, lacking any detrimental impact on their social standing. The absence of run-ins with the law highlights their stability, and their long-term goals demonstrate dedication, as evidenced by a 25-year effort to reunite with a sibling. Their actions reflect careful planning and thoughtful decision-making, suggesting an unconventional yet deeply committed approach to their objectives.
Are you creepy, spooky, mysterious, or kooky?? Well you've come to the right place because we are talking about The Addams Family!! We are specifically diving into the 1991 film and we are joined by Benjamin Taitz! We ask the eternal question: are the Addams Family a family of "psychopaths"? We also break down the relationship between Fester and his "adoptive" mother, Ms. Craven, as a textbook example of how enmeshment is used within an abusive dynamic. Join us if you dare!
