141 - Men Don't Need Supernatural Help - Black Christmas (2019)

Published: Dec. 14, 2020, 11 a.m.

Season's Grievings, Fright School! We're here with another Holiday Horror episode! First we try to share good news and stay on a happy note, but Joe can't help infect us with Covid talk. We had a blast on Geekscape's 15 Hour Live Stream for Big Brothers Big Sisters. You can catch our live segments on Geekscape's YouTube or Facebook! Joshua is in crisis because he doesn't have an actual favorite holiday film that's not horror related. We try to unpack the overstuffed stocking that is the latest incarnation of BLACK CHRISTMAS. We discuss film making in the era of WOKENESS, the patriarchy and its paranoias, the very real fears of women, and gaslighting friends and other survivors of trauma. It's fun if you make it a song! Speaking of songs, the fellas share their favorite holiday albums to wrap up the episode. We'll be back Christmas Day with a special episode...\n\nPlease consider donating as the goal is almost met!\n\nFOLLOW US! \nFacebook Twitter Instagram LinkTree\n\nRecommended Reading:\n\nOfficial Trailer for BLACK XCHRISTMAS (2019)\n\n\u2018Black Christmas\u2019 Film Review: Intriguing But Uneven Feminist Remake Bears Little Resemblance to Original by Elizabeth Weitzman\n\nBlack Christmas Is Bloody Holiday Fun By Angelica Jade Basti\xe9n\n\nWhat the Hell Happened with the New \u201cBlack Christmas\u201d? by Logan Ashley \n\nEXTRA CREDIT:\n\nWE HAVE ALL NEW TEES AND MERCH AVAILABLE!\n\nFright School Recommended Texts:\n\nThe Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror by David J.
