Description

*Listener Discretion Is Always Advised*

In this episode, the Blerds discuss the horror (and by extension, suspense and psychological thriller) genre.

We ask each other:

• What was the last horror, psychological thriller, or suspense show (or movie, etc) we watched?

• How do we feel about the genre?

• What recent additions that have more diverse characters and storylines do we like, and how do we see them enriching Black people taking up space in horror?

IMPORTANT EDITOR CORRECTION:

A movie cited as Day of the Dead is mentioned in the first part of the episode, which should be Night of the Living Dead (specifically the 1990 remake)

CW: Though both movies are older, we spoil the endings/twists of Night of the Living Dead, and Deep Blue Sea during the discussion that takes place around time tags from 8:15-10:45.
