On the season finale of BFGE, the ladies watch "Demon" (2015): a genre-defying (horror? comedy? drama?) Polish film written and directed by Marcin Wrona, released shortly prior to his tragic and untimely death. The film unwinds a tale of a bridegroom possessed by an unquiet spirit (a "dybbuk") in the midst of his own wedding celebration.

Join us as we talk Jewish folklore, polish history, & shitty weddings, and ask our loyal listeners to choose the destination for the last wild bachelorette party we will ever attend in our mortal lives.

Interstitial audio: "The Dybbuk" (Der Dibuk), 1937 -- Clip: The Dance of Death

We love you! Have a safe and joyous holiday and new year!
