As for stuff Fred's been watching, he says: CNN ("the protests, COVID-19, TRUMP SUCKING!"), Wrong Turn seasons 1-6 ("binged...they were pretty awful. The mutant bad guy laughs like Scooby-Doo."), and RuPaul's Drag Race ("huge congratulations to Jaida Essence Hal!").
Fred he's also pretty into YouTube. "'80s music video and anything with kittens, dogs, and spaceships!" Plus: "We also played this video over and over and over..."
Fred and The Superions also put together a pandemic playlist for us, featuring "the songs that get us all going," including tracks by David Bowie, Bob Marley, Robert Plant, Señor Coconut, Ace of Base, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, David Bowie, Divine, Chromatics, Ethel Merman's disco album, and more. You can check out all of Fred's selections below.
