Step right up... step right up and listen to our latest episode!! You won't believe your ears as you hear Corinne, Polly, and Tim discuss Tod Browning's infamous big-top horror show Freaks from 1932. We'll discuss how the film's both exploits and compassionately portrays its cast of actual sideshow performers, detail the various cuts made to the film before its wide release, and cringe at the horrific critical reaction to the movie. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and some quacking.

Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing.
