In this newly restored episode, chock-full of wits and tits, Bonnie and Samantha welcome comedian and Witty Titties founder Genesis Sol for a conversation about women in horror, comedy, and the rise of the iconic "Good for Her" heroine. From Midsommar, Ready or Not, Jennifer's Body, and You're Next to an in-depth discussion of Carrie, the trio explores why these stories resonate, how horror continues to evolve, and why they're still hoping to see an adaptation that fully captures Stephen King's original vision of Carrie White. With Mike Flanagan's upcoming Carrie series on the horizon, there's never been a better time to revisit this conversation through a fresh lens.
