Welcome back to Fright School! With this ongoing isolation we'd be happy to float down in the sewers with Pennywise just to get out of the house! Joe has been watching SPACE FORCE. Joshua is revisiting the early 2000s on SHOWTIME with DEXTER and WEEDS. The boys get caught up on RuPaul's Drag Race ALL STARS and all the conflama drama mamas of the season. We revisit Derry, Maine with IT CHAPTER TWO (2019). Buckle up because Joshua came to LECTURE. Poor Joe. We're talking about Queerness and Homophobia in IT and the works of Stephen King, the problematics of erasure, the Mob of the Marginalized, and childhood horrors. SO FUN! \n\nRecommended Reading:\n\nOriginal theatrical trailer IT CHAPTER 2) (2019)\n\nCheck out our first IT episode: Summer Camp Field Trip - IT (2017)\n\nIt Chapter Two Reckons with Stephen King\u2019s Troubling Legacy of LGBTQ+ Representation by Louis Peitzman\n\nIt: Chapter Two\u2019s Gay-Bashing Scene Exploits a Real-Life Killing for a Cheap Shock by Jeffrey Bloomer\n\nIt Chapter Two: why its depiction of homophobic violence is actually a positive by Chjarlie Allbright\n\n10 Best LGBT Characters In Stephen King Novels by Anthony Avina\n\n'It: Chapter 2\u2019 mounts a defense of the social media mob\n\nStephen King: Homophobia?
