50 分钟A look at the latest description of Donald Trump, and a deep dive on horror films.
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
Doesn't it seem like we've reached the tipping point for the word fascist?
From WNYC in New York, this is on the Media.
I'm Michael Lohenger.
This week we examine fear itself, how fascist leaders weaponize it, and why we as moviegoers, crave it on the silver screen.
One of the leading theories for why we might love to watch horror movies is that ability to transfer threat arousal over to pleasure.
Plus how filmmakers like Jordan Peele drew on the history of the black horror genre to explore race in America.
Give me some kind of a funhouse mirror.
Let me imagine that racism is a zombie.
And now we can have a good time.
Okay.
It's all coming up after this.
