Description

This week we're joined by Dani Bethea! They're the previous EIC We Are Horror Magazine, writer and a contributor to the upcoming Mental Health and Horror: A Documentary as well as a published writer for Studies in the Fantastic. After discussing their relationship to horror as a child and adult and how that's evolved, we talk about their writing, their education and their passion for digging deep into a subject. Then we turn our attention to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, a tale of horror, race, class and toons that has managed to leave a lasting impression in both Dani and Terry's lives. We talk about the historical context for the film, the use of real life situations like the freeway and the streetcar scandal as a framing device, and the way the film interrogates racism and self-hatred.Also Judge Doom.
