Frightday: Horror, Paranormal, & True Crime

Lupita Nyong’o is the new face(s) of horror. As the leading ladies in Jordan Peele’s deeply unsettling new film ‘Us,’ Nyong’o lurches and rasps her way into the company of the genre’s most complex and chilling antagonists. In conversation with Sam and Jaimee, Academy Award-winner (and generally incredible human) Nyong’o discusses her revolutionary twin roles in this ground- and record-breaking shocker, her research into Spasmodic Dysphonia (the condition that informed Red’s already-infamous voice), her “horror homework”, and playing “the Other.” *MILD SPOILERS FOR ‘US’* Check out our two new original shows ("It's Been a Weird Week" and "A Conversation With...") exclusively on Brew! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/brew-podcasts/id1451868575 Want even more?

In the early 90's, an unsettling genre of music took a more physical turn. Churches were burned and blood was shed, further stigmatizing the community. We don't often talk biopics on Frightday, and it's even more rare to discuss them with the actors who take on these factual roles. This week we were lucky enough to talk 'Lords of Chaos' with its star Rory Culkin (Scream 4, Intruders, Castle Rock). Want more? Support us at http://patreon.com/frightday at the $4 level or above.
