Fridging

We continue our topic month with a look at the Fridging trope. Carla from Bed, Wed, or Behead and Tiff join Erin to discuss their earliest memories of this trope, some of the worst examples, why it persists, and its harmful effects. Trigger warnings: sexual assault, racism, misogyny, homophobia. This episode contains spoilers for Se7ven, Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dexter, The Crow (1994), Scream, Austin Powers, Devil in a Blue Dress, Luther, The Dark Knight, and Friday the 13th.
