The Ring, Part 1

Jess & Nicole are especially excited for this episode! "The Dish Mansion," Sick Girl Horror, TV = Bad, dysfunctional family tropes, Samara, Sean Combs & Ashton Kutcher… just a few of the topics we explore as we delve into The Ring.

Considered one of the best American adaptations of a Japanese horror film—and the movie that kicked off the J-horror remake craze in the U.S.—The Ring was filmed in our beloved PNW, perfectly capturing that drizzly, real-life experience of The Long Dark vibe. 

Let’s dive in.
