Tune in as Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) circles back around to the show for a breakdown of A Quiet Place, the 2018 horror movie about a family’s quest to survive a post-apocalyptic world in which monsters use their acute sense of hearing to hunt down their prey. Pushing back against the pro-gun reading of this movie, asking questions about its many plot and worldbuilding holes, John Krasinski’s career arc from comedy to horror and action, and the dangers of having a baby in such a life-threatening environment comprise a few of the subjects in this episode.

Directed by John Krasinski, A Quiet Place stars Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Cade Woodward, Leon Russom, and Rhoda Pell.

Spoilers start at 52:30
