We're continuing our series in Natural Horror with Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 ornithological opus THE BIRDS! The gents catch up on holiday plans. Joshua has put up the Scary Cryptmas tree and can't stop fiddling with it. Joe wants money for the holidays so he can just buy his own shit (insert Pinecast tip jar reminder here...) Holiday film planning with STAR WARS: RISE OF SKYWALKER and CATS! Joshua gets a bunch of new horror documentaries including MEMORY: THE ORIGINS OF ALIENS and IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS. The boys try to sort out if THE BIRDS is about communism, the Cold War, or just some nagging women. It's certainly not JUST about some angry birds... \n\nWORKS CITED:\n\nWhat is Hitchcock\u2019s The Birds really about? by Megan Burbage\n\nWhat is the Freudian interpretation of \u201cThe Birds\u201d? by Jeff Saporito\n\nFright School Recommended Texts:\n\nThe Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror by David J.
