  "textContent": "Alexandra Heller-Nicholas may be the foremost authority on women and horror, having written the book (and now documentary!) 1000 Women in Horror. So it's appropriate that the character who made her feel seen is a woman in horror: Angela Bettis as the titular May in (past guest!) Lucky McKee's unforgettable 2002 indie psychological horror film, MAY. After this deep dive into a classic, Jordan has one quick thing about another past episode of this show -- Kara Brown on 'The Philadelphia Story' and setting the record straight on Millennial Feminism. Additional Listening: Lucky McKee on 'Mean Streets' Akela Cooper on 'Demon Knight' Mary Harron on 'His Girl Friday' Roxanne Benjamin on 'Daria'",
