Welcome back to Fright School! We celebrate another win for Jinkx Monsoon! Drag Race All Stars Season 7 was quite a fun journey. Joshua and Joe are also watching American Horror Stories. This month is all about the giant monsters of film history. We’re kicking things off with the 1933 classic KING KONG! We revisit HORROR NOIRE to get into the racial politics of the film, pull from the work of Angela Davis to contextualize racist mythologies, and wonder about what else remains to be discovered in this world of ours…
