The Horror Pod Class Episode 134: Better Watch Out
Welcome to Episode 134 of the Horror Pod Class. My name is Tyler Unsell and by day I am a just an ordinary teacher but by night I transform to an ordinary teacher with crippling anxiety that likes to talk about spooky shit. I am joined tonight as I am most nights by The cohostest with the mostest. The most salient skeleton I know…Orrin Grey. What have you been up to since we last appeared here man?
Orrin: Mostly the usual, although December is starting to sorta wind down compared to October/November, finally, so that’s been nice.
Tyler: Tonight we start our holiday countdown. First we will discuss what we are reading and watching and then the boys will go to room 101 to learn about their bodies with Mr. Weiss and the girls will go to room 102 and learn about theirs with Mrs. Owens as we look at the state of sex education through the eyes of Better Watch Out.
What Have We Been Watching/Reading
Tyler: Tribe by Sebastian Junger and Benedetta new Paul Verhoeven
Orrin: A whole lot of nothing, for various reasons, though I did finally watch the original Nightmare Alley, from 1947, in preparation for GdT’s remake.
