Published: June 20, 2022, 10 a.m.

Welcome back to Fright School! We're catching up on our binge watching. Joshua has been enjoying rewatching THE MUNSTERS in anticipation of Rob Zombie's new adaptation. We reminisce about Cabot Cove and Murder She Already Done Sat Down And She Wrote. Joe talks about Fire Island and give us the lowdown on the Kids In The Hall reboot. Joshua suffers flashbacks to his time working for an adult entertainment company in this #priDEMONth pick: KNIFE+HEART. This film is... a lot. Gay porn in Giallo lighting. A masked murderer with a killdo. Tragic Queer love stories. Possible HIV/AIDS subtext. Blind crows! It's another fever dream of sex and violence brought to you by the French.
