Fright School

Welcome back to Fright School! We are feeling refreshed after our November break (though a bit rusty...) and ready to dive into the Ghoultide! Joshua talks about the Melissa Etheridge Cruise. Joe went to Las Vegas. We start the conversation about Rupaul's Drag Race season 14 and the internet drama surrounding a cisgender male, heterosexual cast member. This year's holiday horror episodes are dedicated to Jewish horror! We are starting with THE GOLEM (1920)! Joe just loves a film he has to read! We discuss charges of antisemetism, the gender politics, and the function of art in the analysis of the film.
