79: THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER - Episode 7: "The Pit and the Pendulum"

This week on the show, there's only one Usher child left...and he's the worst one! Verna catches up with Frederick as we discuss episode 7: "The Pit and the Pendulum." Matt and Scott chat about how Henry Thomas wonderfully and weirdly depicts the depravity and monstrosity of Frederick Usher.
