In this episode of the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit Club, Tyler talks about Maya Angelou's seminal 1969 work "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," and Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece of horror-fantasy, "Pan's Labyrinth." He also rambles at length about potentially racist bookstore layouts, the absolute travesty that is "Cannibal Holocaust," and the horrors of war.
