So, you’ve heard of the Soup, Salad, or Sandwich game, but what about Frankenstein, Dracula, or Zombie? Our hosts have this theory that most of our horror films fall into one of these categories. Blake and Kashif explore several frightening flicks including Jeepers Creepers and Silence of the Lambs (people as wearables, anyone?) and make their case. Why does evil turn us off…but also on? How does anti-trans rhetroric show up in horror films? Stay for Going/Not Going.

The world has been talking about Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour lately, but not so much about the world music record that’s actually supporting it. Multihyphenate and long-time friend SueAnn Shiah joins this conversation about white artists using “ethic” sounds to revive their careers. They compare three world music records: Caedmon Call’s “Share the Well,” Ed Sheeran’s “Play,” and of course, Paul Simon’s “Graceland.” Stay for the Going/Not Going at the end (Jeffree Star trigger warning).

In moonlight, Black boys still look blue, and Moonlight is getting a 4K glow-up for its 10th anniversary. Blake and Kashif unpack the film’s continued importance, offer a close reading of Moonlight‘s central themes, and discuss their first viewings. Chiron as the king of queer introverts. Beyoncé and ‘all that blue light.’ Nicholas Britell and scoring Black cinematic life. Bonus: Blake gives Kashif a gift that you’ll also enjoy…hopefully.
