Cecily and A.Ron found this episode a fairly uncomfortable watch. Poor Paul, poor Ma Petite, poor all the freaks under the increasingly merciless rule of Ms. Mars, poor us the audience trying to get through another bloated 75 minute episode. But we, like them, must endure. Join us in a rollicking discussion about candy stripers, villainous “Wheel” monologues, desert hearts filled with dust and scorpions, and much more. All this, your feedback, and a bit of spoiler talk at the very end.

American Horror Story season four debuted this week on FX with “Monsters Among Us”, an excellent introduction to a fantastic world of the weird and wacky. We discuss erotic Tupperware(tm) parties, the ethics and morality of the Freaks, David Bowie anachronisms, and struggle with Kathy Bates’ accent. All that and your typically stellar fan feedback. Can’t wait for next week!
