Editor’s note: High level spoilers for the episode. Earworm has content warnings for ghosts, possession, fictional depictions of alcohol abuse, sexual innuendo, sex shaming, homophobia, sexism, insinuated drug/alcohol abuse, unsafe while sleeping, subliminal messaging, mind control. There is also a sensory warning for static.
If the concept of an earworm was a genre, it would be horror. Not just because of the squishy, Ceti Alpha Vi connotations but because of what earworms do. They subvert expectation, dragging your attention to their focus. And if the calls are coming from inside the mental house, then in Earworm, so are the production numbers.
