Welcome back to Fright School! It's beginning to look a lot like Pride month! Rainbows everywhere, especially on all those businesses who any other time of the year support politicians who want to set us back a few centuries. SO keep that in mind when spending your hard earned dollars this Pride season and make sure to support Queer creators (patreon.com/frightschool hint hint)! If you've been listening to the show all these years (THANK YOU!) then you know Joe and Joshua are two classy dudes just like the fellas in today's episode dedicated to Hitchcock's ROPE! Well, classy without all the murdering. Or suits. Or nonstop smoking. Oops, maybe we're NOT classy!? Thankfully, we have Leopold and Loeb, uh we mean, Brandon and Phillip to school us in the art of the \xdcbermensch and other wicked things... \n\nYou can WATCH this episode now by subscribing to our Patreon! :) \n\nRecommended Reading/Viewing:\n\nOfficial trailer ROPE (1948)\n\nHow Hitchcock\u2019s Classic Mystery Rope Cleverly Depicted Queer Life by Armond White\n\nHays\u2019d: Decoding the Classics \u2014 'Rope' by Les Fabian Brathwaite\n\nIs There a Gay Basis To Nietzsche's Ideas?
