Description:

They're all gonna laugh at you! Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia (Meg's hiding under the stage, ready to tip the bucket) as we're heading to Prom with a guy that's got a helmet of hair in the Brian De Palma classic adaptation of Stephen King's horror debut, Carrie.  We're doing etymology on 'dirty pillows' in our 179th episode as we discuss:

  • The believeability that Carrie wouldn't have heard of a menstrual cycle at age 17
  • The number of times that Miss Collins should have been fired in this film
  • Whether the film made Sue & Tommy's intentions clear or if they purposely kept us in the dark (and how it's a much better film in one of those ways)
  • Liam asks if we should forgive Carrie in the end
  • Did they have to go the dream-sequence route in the final sequence?
  • What exactly is Tommy's plan here?  Why does he kiss Laurie?
  • Whether or not Carrie is the Best Film Ever
