Winchester Chronicles no 1: THE BABADOOK

Show Contents 0:00 Introduction 3:34 Creature Comforts with Carolyn Mauricette 16:23 The Feature: THE BABADOOK (2014) 57:59 The Other Side: Carolyn and Ryan talk further reading after Jennifer Kent’s epic film Thoughts From Your Host… Life is moving very moment-to-moment these days, isn’t it? One minute, the world order tells us one thing…the next minute, it’s a new set of rules. Things are changing so quick, that it can all seem like such a blur. Take this show. Two weeks ago, when I invited my guest on, it was to talk about a new release. One week after that, we needed to turn our attention as the film was delayed. Even the way we recorded needed to be changed since it quickly became irresponsible to sit down together. This show was recorded Friday night, and as I sit here Sunday, things in life have changed again. Moment-to-moment. I’m proud of being able to do something like this right now. To put positive vibes out into the world and put my best foot forward. I never know what the next moment is going to bring, so I want to do my best for the moment I’m in. I hope everyone who reads this is doing as well as can be – if only for this moment.
