We wonder about the veracity of Tim Burton's WEDNESDAY series. This week we discuss Kasi Lemmons' EVE'S BAYOU! We're continuing our celebration of Black History Month (and also Women in Horror month!) with this gorgeous and mystical meditation on memory and the Southern Gothic. We discuss the fears of women, the intersections of religious and spiritual practices, and the multiplicities of minority groups. FOLLOW US!
