Let Me In

Hart of Dixie Chicks

Hello, People of Dear Hearts! This week, perhaps we’ll find the answer to the question Why Did This Get Made? while discussing 2010’s Let Me In, the American remake of Let The Right One In. We dive into the obvious-ness of it all while creating the phrase trickle-down bullyism and mentioning Richard Jenkins by full name only. There are half the Twilight references, but twice the rants. Eat Virginia with us, dear hearts.
