139 - Shitting on Karen's Car - Blood Quantum (2020)

Welcome back to Fright School! We are discussing another Indigenous Horror film with our friend Zakiya! First we chat about everyone's Thanksgiving/Indigenous Solidarity/ Anti-Colonial dinners. We debate cranberry sauce. Joe really wants to discuss The Crown. Speaking of colonialism and horror, we unpack BLOOD QUANTUM. There is so much to.... chew on. Joshua and Zakiya give a quick history lesson to contextualize the film. We talk about blood quantum laws, Colonialism in horror, The Walking Dead, mothers, and how the Earth is "sick of our shit." Literally. FOLLOW US!
