The Expecting: Horror, Motherhood, and Mystery

About this episode

In this episode, Tony dives into the psychological horror series The Expecting with star AnnaSophia Robb and director Mary Harron. The story follows a young woman whose unexpected pregnancy spirals into a surreal and terrifying ordeal — blending body horror, paranoia, and questions of identity.

🎧 AnnaSophia shares how she embodied the emotional and physical unraveling of her character, navigating isolation, fear, and the uncanny. Mary Harron reflects on crafting a visual language that evokes dread without losing empathy, and how the series taps into primal anxieties around motherhood and control.
