GGP Episode 126: Rated F for Fathers, Fire, and Freedom AKA THELMA

This week we're covering the "queer Carrie with a happier ending" AKA THELMA. The film follows a sheltered college student who begins developing psychokinetic powers when her repressed feelings for her friend comes to the surface.

We're taking next week off but we'll be back to cover Sam Raimi's THE GIFT.

Stay spoopy ya'll!
