    Sexy Priestery - The Nun (2018)

    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.

    Exposition by Lecture - The Conjuring (2013)

    Welcome back to Fright School! This week, we reflect on the past year of Fright School episodes. We promise we have so much more planned for this year barring an apocalypse which seems more and more likely! Joshua and Joe share what they did for New Years. It's that time of year again: franchise deep dive and this time we're grabbing our rosaries and plunging into THE CONJURING UNIVERSE! We kick off with THE CONJURING by discussing our love of Lili Taylor, the history of exorcism in the Catholic church, the heteronormativity of the film, and perhaps over reliance on the body-ody-ody of horror work that came before.

Like the rest of the world, we are catching up on the latest episodes of STRANGER THINGS! SPOILER ALERT! Joshua spent the fall watching GILMORE GIRLS instead of rewatching the exploits of Eleven and the Gang so he is a bit lost in the Upside Down. Luxe tells us about her horror journey and how the genre intersects with drag. Let's get sickening with the QUEENS OF THE DEAD! Tina Romero invites us all to the last drag show before the apocalypse offering a critique of how the Queer community can devour its own. We discuss internalizing self-hatred, the role apps and phones have in killing Queer community, enabling self-destruction, and offer our thoughts on a new era of horror: Dragsploitation. When there's no more room in hell, let's have a kiki! Find LUXE THE DRAG QUEEN here!
