Deep Thoughts About Stupid Sh*t: A Pop-Culture Podcast

Hell is only a word…

This week on Deep Thoughts, the sisters welcome best-selling horror novelist (and Emily’s fellow Kenyon alum) Scott Kenemore to discuss the 1997 cult classic Event Horizon starring Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne. The wide-ranging discussion moves from the meaning of cosmic horror to the importance of intent when creating new technology to the satisfying dichotomy of advanced spacecraft bringing humans to their ancient fears. Much like the movie, this episode is a ride that will take you places you don't expect to go. (But with more laughter, thankfully).

Where we’re going, we don’t need eyes to see…just some headphones to hear this episode!

Content warning: Mention of suicide, self-harm, and sexual harrassment
