295 - A Courtesan with a Heart of Gold - Tales from the Crypt (Part 2)
Welcome back to Fright School! This week, we are picking back up with our TALES FROM THE CRYPT franchise deep dive! But first! Please welcome to the stage Miss Nora Virus! What are Joe's thoughts on WICKED, you ask? We chat about our feelings of musical adaptations in general. We watched two episodes of TALES FROM THE CRYPT this week: ONLY SIN DEEP and DEAD RIGHT! We discuss the dubious morality plays of TFTC, fatphobia and further villainization of fat bodies, and the double edged sword at the throats of ambitious women. Also, White people doing Voodoo in the 80s? Groundbreaking.
