Published: Oct. 26, 2019, 9:52 p.m.

It\u2019s almost Halloween and we\u2019re watching a horror movie! As recommended by Steve Lutz 475 episodes ago, it\u2019s a Canadian tale of girls becoming women, and women becoming wolves: \u201cGinger Snaps.\u201d We discuss parallels to \u201cBuffy\u201d, connections to \u201cOrphan Black\u201d, and ultimately whether this film can live up to its feminist aspirations or if it\u2019s yet another case where a girl is punished for becoming a woman\u2014er, werewolf.
