This episode begins a short run of the show where we share good horror movies with each other. First up is "Sorry to Bother You", written and directed by Boots Riley. Though it doesn't bill itself as a horror movie, we make the argument that it has many of the hallmarks: it features a character who is unwittingly in the hands of a destructive force that he is unable to stop. It features dread and fear of the erasure of the body and the will. It's also funny, and a critique of capitalism, but that doesn't get in the way of it being quite unsettling.
