Season's Grievings, Fright School! We're celebrating Scary Cryptmas in JULY! We welcome the Jersey Ghouls to the show to chat about ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE! First the group chats about their states' quarantine measures. Joshua and Joe come for Arizona like they're Spirit Airlines and this is FINAL DESTINATION. Marissa has a real THE SHINING situation brewing. All Disney and No Horror makes Marissa... you know the rest. Jacki is getting caught up on television that was all the rage 20 years ago with CHARMED. Of course, this excites Joe to no end and we are now dangerously close to becoming a CHARMED recap podcast. Joe catches us up on the state of his Special Man Friend's Queer education. We get into the spirit of Cryptmas with the "British Christmas Zombie Musical" ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. It's a ballsy movie with a lot of heart (a bloody, pulpy mess of one, but still it's a heart!) and it's a fun ride. It gave us SHAUN OF THE DEAD meets ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING meets HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL meets ROCKY HORROR meets DAWN OF THE DEAD. It's A LOT is what we're trying to say. But also just enough. Check it out and show it at your holiday party if we get to ever have those again... \n\nRecommended Reading:\n\nOriginal theatrical trailer ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE (2017)\n\nDeep Focus: Anna and the Apocalypse By Michael Sragow\n\nCheck out Joshuadoescosplay's Etsy shop!\n\nEXTRA CREDIT:\n\nRewatch Isabella Price of NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS PODCAST interview RACHEL TRUE (ROCHELLE) from THE CRAFT!
