In this, our inaugural episode, we discuss David Robert Mitchell’s 2015 curse film It Follows. Is it ‘just an STD allegory’? Does the soundtrack hold up in a post-synthwave world? Is Lars (von) Trier just a Gen-X edgelord? How much do we talk about Autechre? You’ll just have to listen and find out!
