Little Otik (2000), Greedy Guts

About this episode

Edgar and Courtnee explore the bizarre film Little Otik, discussing its dark humor and parenting themes.

Edgar and Courtnee tackle Little Otik (2000), the Czech fever dream where a couple adopts a tree stump baby that develops a taste for… well, people. Between laughing at Otik’s horrifying veggie-toddler vibes and questioning if this is the worst parenting ever, they dig into fairy-tale gone feral weirdness. It’s creepy, funny, and leaves them both wondering: would you babysit a carnivorous log?
