Othersode #14: The Glitch Just Typed! / Unfriended

Join the #Squad on a deep dive into the world of cyberbullying and spooky Internet things as we discuss the 2014 film 'Unfriended.' We talk about how well the movie's conceit is working, why Blaire is kind of terrible, and the scariest parts of the story (The glitch just typed!).
