Welcome back to Fright School! Joshua and Joe catch up on their vacations. We free associate on a whole bunch of topics: Antibody Beautiful! Stunted Queens! Halloween music mixes! HULUWEEN DRAGSTRAVAGANZA! This week we are answering THE BLACK PHONE! This creepy film, based on a short story by Joe Hill, served us stranger danger nostalgia, a ghostly support group, and Ethan Hawke as a bizarre, Wonka-meets-Wishmaster looking child killer. We discuss the divided Queer community's takes on the film and try to come to a conclusion about whether or not the film is homophobic. \n\nRecommended Reading/Viewing:\n\nOfficial trailer THE BLACK PHONE (2022)\n\nThe Grabber, 'Gayface,' And The Danger Of Conflating The Two In The Black Phone by BJ Colangelo\n\nEthan Hawke as a Queer Pedophile Serial Killer?
