The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)

<p>On this week's episode, we're digging up queer writer/director Adam Robitel's found footage shocker <em>The Taking of Deborah Logan</em>!</p><p>After discussing the tropes of the found footage sub-genre, we'll discuss Robitel's ties to the <em>Paranormal Activity</em> franchise, and how this film does and doesn't stand out from its peers.</p><p>We'll also try to answer the most common questions brought up in discussions of the film: is the conflation of mental illness with possession offensive? Should the film have steered away from using First Nations/Indigenous practices as a plot point? (Why can't it just be a white person murder ritual, Karen?) and should more be made about Sarah's sexuality?</p><p>Plus: old lady possession vs hot young girl possession (paging Jennifer Carpenter!), snake wrangler sex jokes, concerns about the number of attics in a single house and, of course, lezzing out over Sarah and Sheriff Tweedy.&nbsp;</p><p>And of course: our thoughts on <em>that</em> money shot scene.&nbsp;</p><p>Questions?
