Show Notes
Kicking off our first episode ever with host Lucy Spangler's favorite topic of all time, Ryan Murphy slander!! Today we bravely examine a good and a not-so-good season of Murphy's anthology TV series American Horror Story, looking into the relationship between postmodernism and this 21st century horror. Don't get put off by jargon in the episode description, our beloved guest lecturer author, and cultural critic Tim Riley is here to give us his notes on postmodernism so everyone can form their own takes.
