5: Clowns

Beep beep Richie! In this episode the girls are talking clowns. They also talk Bills, Hader and Skarsgard. They go over a long and grueling history of clowns to come to the conclusion that clowns are sad and scary and they might murder you. Grab a blankie and some apple cider and strap in for a long and spooky halloween ep. CW: murder, rape SPOILER ALERT: Linna’s never seen a clown movie so Marlena describes the plots of Poltergeist and IT in detail in this episode.
