Quick: Catch that Tori Amos reference and go listen to "A Sorta Fairytale." Then join Val and Ron today as they laugh (and maybe shed a few tears) discussing the beautiful dark fairytale that is 2017's Tigers Are Not Afraid, directed by Issa López. Spoilers galore as always so beware. In the second segment, Ron revisits more of her beloved 90s gem, The X Files, while Val talks about the Indiana Jones movies out of order before briefly (and unintentionally) leading us all down a path of wondering what a Hulk/Evil Dead mashup could look like. Pure chaos!
Don't forget that SS Book Club episode is March 18th and we will be discussing The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias!
