Welcome back to Fright School! We begin this week’s episode with an ode to Leslie Jordan. We discuss favorite moments in his career, the archetype of the “Sissy,” and prioritizing authenticity over safety. Joshua totally forgets to discuss Jordan’s American HORROR Story guest appearances but he was feeling verklempt. Joe went Halloweening as a member of the First Wive’s Club. This week we close the book (possibly? maybe? probably not?) on the odyssey of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers with HALLOWEEN ENDS. Is it a low key remake of CHRISTINE? Is it lacking in the feminist efforts of the previous films? Can Joshua apply his grad school therapy nonsense to the Corey character? Only one of those questions has a real answer and it isn’t the one you want…
