FRIGHT SCHOOL

J. Napier and J. Fejeran•fright-school.pinecast.co

Welcome to Fright School, a podcast that explores horror films through the eyes of someone who is experiencing them for the first time. Each week, Joshua (the horror nerd) pushes Joe (the unsuspecting newbie) to the edge of the Mountains of Madness, as they discuss the cultural attitudes, conditions, and events that have shaped some of the most terrifying horror films. Will Joe survive his journey? Will Joshua take things too far? Join us every week for new episodes on Monday to find out! Are you ready? Class is in session.

E1 001 - Week 1 - Welcome to Fright School!

In our very first class we answer the question WHY?!?! Why are we doing this? Why is Joe risking psychological damage? Why should you listen to us talk? Maybe you shouldn't since Joshua says "I don't know" a whole lot and he's supposed to be the expert. Regardless, we lay the foundation for what's to come... and compare Ryan Kwanten and Michael C. Hall's butts. Important work we're doing here, kids! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
