131 - How You Do Microagressions - Antebellum (2020)

Welcome to another Fright School field trip (that we of course did virtually....)! This week we chat about Joe's drinking habits while watching Waiting to Exhale. We take tangential to a whole new level with a winding conversation about RATCHED, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, FIGHT CLUB, and GIRL, INTERRUPTED. Black History continues to be Black Horror with ANTEBELLUM. We must stress this is an initial thoughts review and as such is all over the place! ALSO we SPOIL THE SHIT out of the film with a discussion about the gorgeous filming of the brutal south, why some White women still suck, and being thankful for Gabourey Sidibe. ANTEBELLUM is definitely a stressful watch of a film about Black terror, so proceed cautiously. FOLLOW US!
