Freaks

Step up, step up to hear our chat about a movie that focuses on the, let's say, more unusual circus performers...although Freaks isn't actually about the show the public gets to see. In fact, Tod Browning's revenge story focuses almost entirely on the humdrum lives (and sometimes maniacal actions) of the sideshow characters in this traveling caravan. Just don't cross one of these so-called freaks because if you mess with one, you mess with all of them. The title characters have layers though and there's not a lot of black and white in this film, even though it's literally a black-and-white film. So learn to accept that you're one of us (one of us!) as the 463rd Ellises' Analysis yammers in your ear about the 90-year-old Freaks. Just don't let anyone spike your cup of coffee with anything that'll harm you... and make that unspiked beverage Sparkplug Coffee. Do you like 20% discounts?
