Mums, eh? Can’t live with ‘em, literally can’t live without ‘em. Sadly, some take this as a certificate of ownership, allowing them to subject their offspring to the worst things imaginable, like offering them as a guinea pig to a class of trainee hairdressers.

Anyway, it’s got grimdark vibes the trailer bangs on things like “suffering” and severed hearts and is coming this summer.

This week: a stranded cottage in the woods, an angry kitty, and some snap-together architecture.
