74: THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER - Episode 2: "The Masque of the Red Death"

This week on the show, it's Perry's time to die as we chat about episode 2 of Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher: "The Masque of the Red Death." We discuss young Roderick's moral war between his sister and his wife and how Perry's hedonism feels a bit too performative.
