Manage episode 377890223 series 1290710
Welcome back to Fright School! The summer tourists are leaving San Diego just in time for the Invasion of the College Students from OUT OF STATE! Joshua forgot about scratched CDs! Count yourself among the lucky if you have no idea what he is talking about. This week we take on teenage alienation- literally- with THE FACULTY. It's INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB with a twist of THE THING! Oh, the late 90s! What a time! We discuss the pressures of conformity, invasion anxiety, the rather subversive pro-drug messaging in the film, and small town nihilism. Let's get high and stay alive!
