Welcome to the Frightology Degree podcast, the horror movie curriculum where you start scared and graduate prepared! This bi-weekly show is hosted by Professor Rick, longtime horror fan and the course's self-appointed professor. He has one simple mission: to teach Tom, our resident scaredy cat, to one day love horror movies. Each episode, we will review and discuss the assigned movie of the week, gauging Tom's horror progress as we go along. So join us as we slowly ramp Tom from beginner-friendly movies in season 1 of our show (Frightology 101), all the way to the scariest movies ever made.
