## Resource

This is my 57th episode and I will be covering the 1991 classic horror film The People Under the Stair by Wes Craven. My theme of the month is Justice in January. Where black horror takes revenge and teaches us lessons that colonizers would like us to forget. In today’s movie, a family is being evicted, and they are the last ones in a building that is set to be torn down to build new condominiums with “nice clean people” in there. The film pits the impoverished Fool and his family against wealthy landlords who exploit tenants, hoard wealth, and mercilessly defend their property. This mirrors real-world class tensions and critiques of early-1990s capitalist policies that never ended and only got worse.
