114 - Menacing Moppet Movie - Cooties (2014)

Welcome back to Fright School! Join us in the John Lafia Memorial Remote Learning Annex. Joshua is just giving up in quarantine and letting the students (Joe) pick all of the movies. We catch up on this week's entertainment. Joshua brings up Lovecraft Country and we chat a little about H.P. Lovecraft's preoccupation with White Supremacy. So fun. Joe talks about unapologetic Blackness in Ugly Betty and #blackaf. After a quick break, we chat the horrors of children regardless of Zombie status. Joshua recounts misadventures in babysitting his sister's children. Joe might want to have some children. Does anyone know if Patti Lupone is available for surrogacy or is it too late? We try to establish when teachers become actual people Recommended Reading: Official Trailer COOTIES (2014) It’s teachers versus zombie students in the horror comedy Cooties by Nathan Rabin Why are there so many creepy kids, dolls, and clowns in horror movies?
