Welcome Back to Fright School! We often reflect on our show as an archive of our lives and the context in which we are creating it in. This particular recording day was heavy after multiple deaths and incarcerations of both Immigrants and US citizens and the ongoing oppressive response from our government. Wherever you are listening to us from, we have your backs and send love and solidarity.

This week we continue our franchise deep dive with THE NUN. We discuss the horror genre's obsession with nuns, the Conjuring films' reliance of self-harm narratives, and analysis of the film as an allegory for the extensive abuse within the Catholic Church.

Please consider supporting Bail Funds in your area to support the ongoing, necessary work of protestors and other people working to defend us all from tyranny and fascist violence:
