321 - Martha Stewart Tumbleweed Collection - The Arborist (2025)

About this episode

The hosts discuss nostalgia, horror films, and the themes of grief and extinction in their review of 'THE ARBORIST'.

Welcome back to Fright School! Joshua is waxing nostalgic for 2005 while celebrating the release of new Madonna music. Joe has been sneaking out to see horror movies without Joshua! We get deep about separating art from the artist when that artist is using her wizarding shillings to harm Trans people. This week, we watched THE ARBORIST! We get a little lost in the woods discussing parental grief, arboreal extinction, The Lorax, demon twinkery, and spooky child ghosts in animal costumes. There's a lot going on out in these trees... The Freaky Kiki Horror Ball is coming back! Follow our Instagram for all the latest information! Scream Diego is accepting short horror film submissions!
