Post-Election Rejection & Anti-Social Media

Trae Crowder, comedian, author and internet sensation, joins us for a conversation on his roots, his ideology and the current state of comedy.  From growing up in a red town as one of the few blue sheep and his dad introducing him to film and comedy; to having and accepting a gay uncle, being mesmerized by Eddie Izzard and Chris Rock's comedy.  His background is unique because of time and place.  His voice, wit and accent are a deadly combination.  But his values in equity and justice have spanned beyond comedy and into the social media world, acting as a beacon of empathy and giving people a reason to laugh in the darkest of times.

The Homeless: Inheritors of a Broken System

Outside of Philadelphia, PA, down the street where "The Lovely Bones" was filmed, we visit the home of film programmer, Nick Lombardo and his wife Nikki, both mega horror fans and collectors. Our friend Shaun Casper, designer/illustrator and sfx makeup artist, joins Nick and our host, Matt for a deep dive discussion on the Horror genre. They discuss the psychology of the films, the stigma that is slowly dissolving, and the beauty in the outcasts connecting through the craft and nostalgia. Why are these films so loved? Why do people enjoy being scared? Will the devil actually attack you through the screen? Everything is back on the table for these three as they nerd out on this episode.
