150 - The Blood Weave (with Zakiya and T.J.) - Bad Hair (2020)

Welcome to another episode of Fright School! This week we wrap up our Black Horror History Month deep dive (Fright School: Black Studies?) by welcoming back Zakiya and T.J.! We get right down to business by reviewing our notes on BLACULA, on of T.J.'s favorite horror films. We chat about what is Black Horror and the intersections of the Black and Queer experience of police violence. In our second half we do try to detangle some BAD HAIR a HULU original (not part of INTO THE DARK as Joshua WRONGLY claims). Zakiya gets personal with her hair journey. We discuss assimilation, internalized colonialism, the Cult of Whiteness, and why we should maybe start smoking again...
