About this episode

The episode discusses the moral dilemmas faced by characters in The Fall of the House of Usher, particularly focusing on Perry and Roderick.

This week on the show, it's Perry's time to die as we chat about episode 2 of Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher : "The Masque of the Red Death." We discuss young Roderick's moral war between his sister and his wife and how Perry's hedonism feels a bit too performative.
