Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review the newest spooky-season series to hit Prime Video: Carrie. Typically when we love something, we can talk about it for hours...so you can tell by today's episode length, we were sat.

Let us know your thoughts on the newest remake and if you're looking forward to diving into the potential of Carrie's powers!
