GGOP 179: Rated M for Malicious Moms, Magazines, and Merlot AKA SOFT & QUIET

Grab a piece of pie and sit down for a spell as we cover one of the most controversial and culturally relevant movie to come out of the Pandemic era of indie horror, SOFT & QUIET. Written and directed by 2026 Sundance winner Beth de Araújo, the film was shot in one take and stars a talented primarily feminine cast that carries a terrifying story that comes a little too close to home.

Next time we're finally getting to cover Jordan Peele's GET OUT.

Thanks for listening and stay spoopy ya'll!
