Season of the Glitch is back with the Apartment Trilogy to explore the psychological horror of Rosemary's Baby, exploring its themes of control, gaslighting, and the dynamics of relationships. They discuss the film's critique of societal expectations surrounding marriage and motherhood, as well as the influence of cult dynamics. The conversation highlights Rosemary as a representation of the struggle for autonomy in a patriarchal society, and draws parallels between the film and modern horror narratives. The hosts reflect on the cultural impact of Rosemary's Baby and its relevance in today's discussions about reproductive rights and women's autonomy.
