Film critic Clarisse Loughrey and film programmer Anna Bogutskaya, American Horror Story super-fans, discuss and dissect every episode of AHS, from the very beginning.

In this episode, Chester the Magician (Neil Patrick Harris) arrives at the Freak Show with his best friend Marjorie and his many chameleons. 

Digressions include: the Line of Duty finale, Magic (1978), some magic history, spoilers for The Prestige (2006), the unlikely influence of Dandy Mott on Zemo

Introducing new weekly categories: Bomer Boner Moment, Paulson v Paulson, Big Feels for Big Drama, alongside the regular sections of MVP of the Episode and Insensitive Historical Reference of the Week.

We discuss the episode in detail, but will not spoil anything that lies ahead in this or future seasons of AHS.
