Baby Ruby: Perfectionism Meets Post-Partum Psychosis

Soju from Straight Chilling Podcast joins Caitlin to discuss Baby Ruby, a monstrous-motherhood movie from 2022. It explores the darker side of pregnancy, birth, and new motherhood via a perfectionist influencer who loses touch with reality. It also highlights the fact that we live in a culture that gives a lot of platitudes about revering mothers, but doesn't offer much tangible support. Tangents include: our childfree status (lol), ice cream, being lost in the woods vs city, baby names, Soju's instagram, Powerpuff Girls friendship designations, flowers, forbidden smells, shoe sizes, dinner rolls, soups, going back in time, and a couple fun FMKs.
