Long before he was ever “The Sexiest Man Alive” or Batman, George Clooney was a bank robber fighting off vampires in, the now cult classic, From Dusk Till Dawn. Cosplayer, Dani Arii (https://bit.ly/315guest), joins us to talk about this 1996 thriller and it applies to mental health. We’ll be addressing the redemption of its characters, the relationship between exclusivity and isolation, healthy practices of mental health and the importance of being vulnerable. We’re still film fans at heart. That means we’re still addressing the jaw-dropping opening, the practical effects and the surprise twist among other things. All this and more on this episode of Victims and Villains!
