            We briefly talk what we’ve doing involving horror recently. We talk about the films Weapons, Together, and Who Can Kill A Child?, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

            Up first is Ganja & Hess. Justin talks about how this is his first time viewing the movie, and how it goes against a lot of horror tropes and stereotypes and defies the norms of “blaxploitation.”

We talk about Bill Gunn’s emphasis both on traditional Christian imagery and African spirituality as well as the themes of addiction present in the film.
