We locked ourselves in the attic to rewatch the 1987 adaptation of Flowers in the Attic, and honestly? We’re still recovering.

This week, we take on V.C. Andrews’ gothic cult classic, where a grieving mother hides her children in a mansion attic, a villainous grandmother weaponizes religion, and a bridal veil becomes a murder weapon. From powdered donuts to plot holes, we’re unpacking all the trauma, tropes, and twisted family dynamics this '80s movie has to offer.

Spoiler: this one gets dark. But don't worry, we're bringing our usual sarcasm, side-eye, and Gen X survival humor with us.

Content Warning: This episode discusses themes of child abuse, trauma, incest, and death.
