176 - Inheriting Unfortunate Haircuts - Malignant (2021)

Welcome to another episode of Fright School! This week we catch up on exercise, the IATSE story, and American Horror Story: Red Tide. We debate taking the black pill. Today we went to the movies AT HOME with James Wan's latest offering MALIGNANT. We know something terrible is going to happen the second Madison shows up pregnant. We discuss the film's Giallo like vibes, melting setpieces, the bizarre twist we saw coming, and the action sequences. Tell us, Dear Listener, what kind of lollipop is your favorite for visits to the morgue?
