Fearless Films
Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies.
Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies, and they continue the tradition of explaining the scariest stories to all the scaredy cats out there, so they don't have to watch the movies.

Episode 158 - Disturbing Behavior
This week on Fearless Films, in celebration of the start of the school year, we are talking about the late 90's teen horror flick, Disturbing Behavior.
Pete breaks down this story of a boy and his family moving to a small island town in Washington state. He quickly discovers that something isn't quite right with the popular kids at the high school. He goes on to uncover a conspiracy to "make the kids better" through nefarious means. Only him and his misfit friends can save the town (or burn it all down)!
Sarah reacts to the fact that this is basically just an extended episode of the X-Files (featuring key players from the show both in front of and behind the camera), the hilariously bad "slang" used by the teenage characters, and the outdated depictions of... well, just about everything.
She also gets concerned about Pete's blood pressure, when he begins to rant and rave about the horrors of studio interference. Prepare yourselves for a deep dive on the behind the scenes story of this film, and how test screenings and meddling producers took a great script and turned it into a mediocre Scream knockoff.
Grab a seat, open your notebooks and remember: don't get too scared!
