048: "Spare Me The Dramas Of A Teenage Witch"

Greg Driver — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

A special episode in which, Greg, Leon and Rahul sign their names in the book of the beast to talk about Netflix's
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
They were joined by special guest Vicki Madden, a PhD scholar at The University of Edinburgh specialising in American gothic fiction, bringing her expertise and unique perspective on all things spooky to the discussion.

We also spend some time talking about:

Riverdale
The new regular season of the NBA
The Haunting of Hill House (on Netflix)

Our spoiler-free thoughts on The Chilling Adventure of Sabrina

At the end of the show, Vicki shouts out an upcoming event (Tuesday 13th November a.k.a. Robert Louis Stevenson Day) at Edinburgh Gothic for a series of scintillating talks on the Gothic. Vicki will be giving a talk entitled "Shirley Jackson and American Gothic fiction" which delves deeper into the medical humanities by examining Shirley Jackson’s critically understudied novel The Bird’s Nest and explores the ways in which dissociative personality disorder has been problematically conceptualised in Gothic terms, also with reference to Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde.
