Micro Queers: The Latent Image (2022)

Horror Queers ·

2023/09/18

Grab your camera and retreat to a cabin in the woods because we're discussing the feature version of Alexander McGregor Birrell's The Latent Image (2022). This is quite similar to the short of the same name, with a few tweaks and a boyfriend for lead Ben (Joshua Tonks, guest on our BtVS episode "Once More, With Feeling). But while we're big fans of most of the technical elements (direction, acting, lighting, and set design), Trace struggles with the over-reliance on dream

A Simple Favor (2018) feat. Emily Gagne

Horror Queers ·

2023/09/13

Raid the closet for tear-away suits and make a "real" martini because we're talking about Paul Feig's suburban noir, A Simple Favor (2018). Joining us is Dread Central writer and We Really Like Her co-host Emily Gagne, who needed a second screening of the film to warm to its bisexual charms. Up for discussion: "pretty" girls Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, shockingly casual incest, Henry Golding's career as a side piece, why this film qualifies as an Erotic Thriller, and *lots* of tangents about

Dressed to Kill (1980) feat. Elizabeth Purchell

Horror Queers ·

2023/09/06

Grab your blonde wig, sunglasses and straight razor because we're kicking off a month of erotic thrillers with the grandaddy of them all: Brian De Palma's 1980 masterpiece Dressed to Kill! Joining us for the conversation is Austin-based queer film historian Elizabeth Purchell! Join us as we trace the film's journey from the mind of De Palma to a protested and picketed controversy among feminists and members of the queer community. It's a film that's all style and some substance, but we'd be remiss

Stoker (2013)

Horror Queers ·

2023/08/30

Get ready to play the piano all sexy like because we're discussing Park Chan-wook's English-language debut Stoker, which is based on a screenplay from queer screenwriter (and actor) Wentworth Miller(?!?!). Join us as we discuss the film's journey from a Black List pick to a botched marketing campaign to an even more botched release. This is a shame, because Stoker is a film that oozes so much style that it elevates its baby Dexter plot, even if it could have used about 100% more Nicole Kidman. Plus:

Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988)

Horror Queers ·

2023/08/23

Return to camp with Michael A. Simpson's Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988) which finds Angela killing according to Aunt Martha's conservative moral code. We're talking about Pamela Springsteen's performance (and Felissa Rose's absence), our love of Ally, and the film's status as a self-referential horror comedy. Plus: the lack of short shorts, poor editing, Molly's end, and debates if the laughs subvert the "trans killer" trope. Reference: > Cervantes, Reyna. "Finding Your Identity at

2023/08/16

Log into your Sugar Baby app and get ready for comments about your appearance because we are discussing Emma Seligman's Shiva Baby (2020). Joining us is returning guest Lindsay Traves, who unpacks all of the Jewish elements from Shiva coffee to accusations of "Jew Face." Plus: Dianna Agron's "shiksa goddess" and Jewish beauty ideals, tackling the depiction of sex work and bisexuality, Jewish character actors, and Sugaring apps. References: Nick Chen.

2023/08/09

Pray you don't get lost in the fog because we're heading to Jersey Island to discuss spooky ghost things in Alejandro Amenábar's 2001 film The Others! Joining us for the conversation is Nichole Goble, the host of the Bodies of Horror podcast! Join us as we trace the origins of the film through Tom Cruise(???) and Dimension Films(??????) before going all in on the atmospheric charms of this Gothic horror gem. From Nicole Kidman's powerful performance, to a look at the film through a lens of

Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) feat. Carter Smith

Horror Queers ·

2023/08/02

Grab your camera and get ready to scream because we're talking about Irvin Kerschner's Eyes of Laura Mars (1978). Joining us to discuss the fashion, the photography, and the hot 70s men is director and returning guest Carter Smith. We're obsessed with the glitz and the glamor of this John Carpenter-scripted film, even if we have qualms about the romance between Faye Dunaway's title character and police officer Tommy Lee Jones. Plus: wasting Raul Julia, lesbian models, real life famous fashionistas,

All About Evil (2010) feat. Jesse Krempel

Horror Queers ·

2023/07/26

Don't piss yourself while you stuff the corpses in the attic because we're having a gay old time discussing show business (the business of show) in Joshua Grannell's/Peaches Christ's 2010 horror comedy All About Evil. Joining us for the discussion is Jesse Krempel, the host of the Cult Cinema Circle podcast! Join us as we revisit this campy gem that was very difficult to find until recently. We heap all of the praise on Natasha Lyonne's absolutely unhinged lead performance, while commending Grannell

Psycho (1960)

Horror Queers ·

2023/07/19

After tackling its two sequels, we're finally crossing off a classic with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). Turns out we have a ton to say in this supersized episode, which makes sense considering the film is technically masterful, features iconic sequences and boasts two stellar lead performances. Plus: a 'pregnant' production history, Baters and momism, Gus Van Sant's 1998 shot for shot remake, and a variety of (queer) readings of Norman Bates.
