O STREE COME AND LISTEN: This week, Liz and Evan are joined by an illustrious guest - South Asian cinema enthusiast and librarian extraordinaire Katie MacKendrick - to tackle the 2018 horror-comedy masala STREE!  Join them as they laud the film’s ability to deftly switch between genres on a whim, unpack the use of real folklore as clever gender role-reversal, and navigate a few Bollywood twists that inspire them to pitch a series of sequels and crossovers to this surprisingly compassionate romp.
