CW: Mental Disorder, Child Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Potential Self Harm\n\nDissociative Identity Disorder is the order of the day on this week\u2019s Pod Sematary. Chris & Kelsey talk for way too long about these surprisingly fascinating movies. 1992\u2019s Dance Macabre asks, \u201cWhat if the phantom was Freddy Kruger and the opera was a Russian ballet school?\u201d This would be interesting enough, but then it adds, "Oh, and go ahead and throw in multiple personalities while you\u2019re at it.\u201d It\u2019s an angle that adds something to the story, but is that something a good twist? 2016\u2019s (M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s) Split, on the other hand, astonishingly ditches the plot twist and instead explores the possibility that DID patients are the key to unlocking human potential.\n\nGet more at www.podsematary.com!\n\nSources:\n"Carry On Wayward Son" written by Kerry Livgren and performed by Kansas\n\u201cDance Macabre\u201d produced by 21st Century Film Corporation, et al\n"Pet Sematary" written by Dee Dee Ramone & Daniel Rey and performed by The Ramones\n\u201cSplit\u201d produced by Blinding Edge Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, et al\n"Through the Wire\u201d written by Kanye West, David Foster, Tom Keane, & Cynthia Weil and performed by Kanye West\n"Weird Satanist Guy" via BowserVids @ www.youtube.com/watch?v=YErFwJX0HKE
