Welcome back Snobbies. We are EXCITED to have you back and enjoying another spooky film with us. This week, we have the incomparable, Josh George with us! He joins for the first time ever and we have an interesting one for you. Jared’s pick this week and he chose a legend of a film from 1932, director Tod Browning brings us, “Freaks.” This film deals in the controversial as it features differently abled people and takes place in a circus. The film follows certain characters as they go through circus life. Hans, one of the main characters and who has dwarfism, is infatuated with a female acrobat named Cleopatra and this infatuation gets everyone into a heap of trouble. We freaking loved this film so join us as we dance our way through it and talk about some surprisingly deep topics. Enjoy!
