Episode Description from the Publisher

For their third feature, Jane Shoenbrun brings us to the brink of ecstasy with their deeply felt and impeccably crafted exploration of the slasher genre. The director of "I Saw the TV Glow" and "We're All Going to the World's Fair" explains why their new film had to start with a geyser of fake blood, walks us through making horror scenes a metaphor for sex, and wonders where our fascinations with slasher tropes really come from.
