Fright School

Welcome back to Fright School! This class will be led by substitute teachers DJ PsychoDandy and MC Diggy Biscuits… that will make more sense as the show progresses. We missed our Geekscape siblings attending CREATURE FEATURE WEEKEND. Sad face emoji… Joshua has been rewatching TRUE DETECTIVE. Joe is excited for TOP CHEF and YOU. This week, we take it all the way back to 1944 with GASLIGHT! Joshua attempts to reduce an entire semester’s worth of information on the medicalization of women to as few minutes as possible. We discuss the film in contexts of WWI and WWII, the gaslighting antics of Hitler and Trump, and the objectophilia of the Psycho Dandy.
