S4E2: We'll Take It Black Blerd On The Street

*Listener Discretion Is Always Advised*

In this episode, the Blerds discuss the horror (and by extension, suspense and psychological thriller) genre.

We ask each other:


What was the last horror, psychological thriller, or suspense show (or movie, etc) we watched?


How do we feel about the genre?


What recent additions that have more diverse characters and storylines do we like, and how do we see them enriching Black people taking up space in horror?



IMPORTANT EDITOR CORRECTION:

A movie cited as Day of the Dead is mentioned in the first part of the episode, which should be Night of the Living Dead (specifically the 1990 remake)



CW: Though both movies are older, we spoil the endings/twists of Night of the Living Dead, and Deep Blue Sea during the discussion that takes place around time tags from 8:15-10:45.
