Welcome back to Fright School! With this ongoing isolation we'd be happy to float down in the sewers with Pennywise just to get out of the house! Joe has been watching SPACE FORCE. Joshua is revisiting the early 2000s on SHOWTIME with DEXTER and WEEDS. The boys get caught up on RuPaul's Drag Race ALL STARS and all the conflama drama mamas of the season. We revisit Derry, Maine with IT CHAPTER TWO (2019). Buckle up because Joshua came to LECTURE. Poor Joe. We're talking about Queerness and Homophobia in IT and the works of Stephen King, the problematics of erasure, the Mob of the Marginalized, and childhood horrors. SO FUN!
