170 - She Done Already Done Had Purged! - The Forever Purge (2021)

Welcome back to Fright School! We're winding up our summer school series! Joshua checked out A QUIET PLACE II. The boys get into a heavy discussion about gender after Alok Vaid-Menon's podcast appearance on MAN ENOUGH went viral. This week we dive back into the PURGE universe with THE FOREVER PURGE. Is there a socio-political issue NOT found blood splattered and vivisectioned in this "orgy of violence"? We discuss assimilation and colonization, White supremacy, American idealization, magical Natives, and the Purge as opportunity for labor class revolution(?!). The Forever Purge asks "what happens if the Purge never stops?" We're sure Jason Blum is ecstatic it doesn't look like it ever will...
