Scream VI and Standing By Your Man
Hey dolls
It’s Thursday, which means we have another week of Dollhouse content coming in hot to your inboxes. We’re chatting exclusively with actor Liana Liberato (alongside a Disney Channel-inspired shoot by Savana Ogburn), thinking through the links between country music and second wave feminism, and marking the end of a cursed internet era with an essay on Omegle.
We’ve also got interviews with Eliza Rose and Merry Lamb Lamb, and on the podcast, Gina and Ione get into the Saltburn discourse, which you can listen to here (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre). As for the rest, let’s jump in:
Deputy Editor Gina Tonic chats with one of horror’s rising stars about her attraction to the genre, the moral quandaries of true crime, and her bumper year in 2023.
Douglas Jardim speaks with Rose and Co about east London, community and the limitlessness of working class creativity.

Rosie Carter writes on Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, and other country musicians whose work was maligned by the feminist movement but which still spoke to the issues affecting women.
Platform Editor Charlotte Amy Landrum interviews musician Merry Lamb Lamb about Avril Lavigne, Belle and Sebastian and her new EP Exodus.
Unmasking Omegle: The Chatroom Will Always Be Racial (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
Janan Jama discusses Omegle and race: “When you have seconds to make an impression or risk being skipped, visible blackness can make an impression for you, and there’s no more startling reminder of universal anti-blackness than the global chatroom,” she writes.
The Sweet East: America Through the Eyes of a Teenage Girl (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
And finally, Charlotte responds to The Sweet East, its refreshing vision of the USA and its relatably zoned-out protagonist.
See ya next week!
XOXO,
