Today we revisit the 1991 Wes Craven horror classic: The People Under The Stairs. Filled with startlingly frank class and race politics, the film follows a young poor black boy threatened with eviction who burglarizes his landlords—only to find them imprisoning their failed offspring in the basement. Has any other horror movie featured a tenants’ union? Was this the inspiration for Home Alone or Nothing But Trouble? What will the comments have to say about such a politically charged film??

TODAY: AP Andy (https://twitter.com/baseprole (https://twitter.com/baseprole)) helps us investigate just what the heck is going on in conservative guys’s heads when they talk about music, first by reviewing shocking basement footage of Bill Maher in a Hawaiian shirt condemning punk music (except for Green Day) And then we catch up with the Daily Wire and their condemnation of both Metal and all Rock n Roll music made after 1958 Does “percussive” music arouse the baser instincts to an irresponsible degree? Does Punk make the blues look like a cross between McCartney and Beethoven? Will the metalhead community ever feel safe in this country?
