Welcome back to Fright School! This week, we predict how the horror genre will respond to the Trump Era. We reflect on the subject of fatness in horror after reading Dread Central's recent article on CARRIE. Joe's takeover continues with IDLE HANDS (1999). We remind our listeners that cannabis is legal for recreational use in California. We discuss the Columbine Massacre's affect on the film, overcomplicate the film with a discussion of our bodies in revolt, and pick some of our favorite teen horror films that climax at a dance!
