Othersode #21: Swilda Tinton / Suspiria

Join the #BookSquad — er, #BookCoven — for a not-so-scary look at the new Suspiria, directed by Luca Guadagnino. We talk about what worked and what didn't work (but mostly what didn't work) in this re-imagining of the 1977 film. Is the dancing good? Why is Tilda Swinton playing so many characters? And most importantly, what would Suspiria sound like as a Rihanna song? We answer all this and more, plus we hear some listener feedback on Castle Rock! Read along with us for our next #bookpisode on Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere, which drops on December 3rd.

"Suspiria" 
Lyrics by Emily, music by "Rihanna's people"

Tilda S. plays a shrink
In old man make-up
We’re not sure what to think
About this weird shake-up
So much blood, so don’t blink
How much time will this take up
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah

Violent dreams in the night
Dead moms might drop by
Dakota Johnson is a fright
With that red hair dye
When you dance, it’s a spell
You might just fly
Or break every bone in your body

Throw on your sweatpants
It’s time to dance with no music
It’s time for witch chants
Writhing can be therapeutic 
It’s like you’re in a trance 
Dancing the dance of another 
This isn’t vanity, it’s art!

You’re watching Suspiria
It's a two million hour snore
Suspiria
Obscure references to the war
You’re watching Suspiria 
Prepare for nudity and gore
Suspiria, Suspiria
