EP 35: Trick or Treaties

This week we celebrated the season by watching two films by Indigenous horror director Jeff Barnaby. The pod is blessed by a visit from Queen’s film professor Dan Vena and PhD student Emily Sanders who bring their expert analysis to Blood Quantum and Rhymes for Young Ghouls. We discuss representations of life on the reserve, generational trauma, rage, and the proper application of chainsaws.
