Welcome to the concluding episode of Fright School's The Purge Series! We try to keep it short, but you know how we are... Joe has been catching up on the exciting shows of 2015 like THE MAGICIANS! Joshua's Netflix is filling up with Scandinavian crime procedurals and he is here for it. THE VALHALLA MURDERS is the latest to grab his attention. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS remains one of our favorite films so we are super excited for the new CBS All Access series CLARICE coming in February. We wrap up our first ever franchise episode series with THE PURGE ANARCHY and THE FIRST PURGE. We discuss the dangerous interpersonal dynamics in the world of The Purge, the economic implications, racial politics, and exactly what each of us think we would do when The Purge inevitably becomes public policy...
