We discuss what brought each of them to genre movies in the first place, the joy of revisiting old Disney movies, how often it's appropriate to rewatch The Shining, and much more. In the second half of the episode, we dive into the 2026 Anomaly lineup and what kinds of weird and wonderful films await!

  • The Shirley Jackson Episode (book chat with Sarah McGrath)

    The Shirley Jackson Episode (book chat with Sarah McGrath)
    20 Oct 2026
    Physical therapist, mom, avid reader, and bookstagrammer Sarah McGrath of Sarah Reads in Roc joins host Emily Hessney Lynch for a deep dive book chat on all things Shirley Jackson! We read her gothic horror masterpiece We Have Always Lived in the Castle and her first memoir Life Among the Savages to get to know both sides of Jackson and her work. In the first half of our book chat, we get into some Shirley Jackson lore, exploring her relationship with her mother, how she always felt like an outsider growing up, and how she despised going to the University of Rochester for a hot second. Then we jump into We Have Always Lived in the Castle and discuss Merricat's voice, her relationship with Constance, Jackson's signature humor and common themes, and the horrifying way things unfold at the end. Sarah also shares about her own experiences with OCD and we discuss whether or not Merricat might have some magical thinking OCD going on (among other things!).In the second half of the show, we talk about Life Among the Savages, sharing our favorite anecdotes about Jackson's 4 imaginative children, how her classic humor shows up again, our amazement at how she managed not to lose herself in motherhood despite how little her useless husband did, and how astonishingly cheap everything was back in 1953. We also go on a fun tangent about our own experiences learning that Santa wasn't real!Note: Our discussion is spoiler free until about 23:16. If you'd like to skip the spoilers, fast forward to the second half of the episode.Links:Read along with us!

  • Headstone Cleaning, Storytelling, & the Social Media Comparison Trap (with Katie DeRaddo of A Grave Attraction)

    Headstone Cleaning, Storytelling, & the Social Media Comparison Trap (with Katie DeRaddo of A Grave Attraction)
    6 Oct 2026

    After cleaning headstones in cemeteries for fun for a few years, Katie DeRaddo started A Grave Attraction to share the stories of the dead through social media, honoring their lives and ensuring they are not forgotten. In this conversation with host Emily Hessney Lynch, we discuss proper techniques and ethics for cleaning headstones, some of Katie's favorite cemeteries in Rochester, Buffalo, and beyond, and how she pieces together people's stories using printed records from centuries ago.

    In the second half of the show, we dive into Katie's experiences as a content creator, from the highs of getting started on YouTube with a video that reached 13 million views to lows like dealing with conflict in the comments section, people taking things out of context, fighting with the algorithm, and the painful trap of comparing ourselves to others on social media—something we can all relate to!
