Join in as we discuss producer Val Lewton's horror unit at RKO, the film's complicated ideas about sexuality, and the validity of a zookeeper's prophecies. Plus: Is any of the movie's Serbian history worth listening to? How were Cat People and other Lewton films responding to the better-known Universal monster movies? And, most importantly, are working women the true villains of the movie? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
