By a weird coincidence, Anthony Atamanuik chose Rosemary's Baby to analyze, on this horror movie podcast. (He has a degree in Film Theory from Emerson.) This was more than half a year before they shot the finale!

We discovered a new appreciation for this episode, and discussed how Yuki Igarashi was influenced by "wabi sabi," and the comfort you can still find in its "imperfect" ending.

A reminder that in 2001, "Untitled Sisqรณ Project" filmed a pilot that never went anywhere. The sitcom starred Bob Newhart, Keenan Thompson, Zachary Levi, and (obviously) thong enthusiast, Sisqรณ. It's my white whale to find some copy of what was made. It sounds unhinged.
