Our guest this week is the incredibly talent Mary Laws. She's the screenwriter for NEON DEMON (2016) and episodes of PREACHER. Most importantly, she is also the showrunner and writer on Hulu's MONSTERLAND, adapted from Nathan Ballingrud's NORTH AMERICAN LAKE MONSTERS: STORIES. After discussing how she got into horror and her work on Monsterland, we talk about the movie that scarred her as a kid: IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK (1996). We discuss politics, how the discussion of abortion has changed (or not) and briefly ruminate on Cher's goddesshood.MONSTERLAND is currently streaming on Hulu and comes Scarred for Life recommended!
