Be on the lookout for clues because we're headed back to Escape Room with Adam Robitel's sequel, Tournament of Champions (2021). With the help of returning guest Reyna Cervantes, we're discussing both the Theatrical, as well as the Extended Cut of the film (jump ahead to the ~1hr 10min mark to hear about the new beginning and end!) Expect Minos-levels of conspiracy as we try to figure out the timeline and rationale for the two cuts. Plus: our fave new characters and traps, retconning the original

Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) feat. The Boulet Bros.

Horror Queers ·

2023/07/05

Don't be a miserable, ungrateful bitch because we're discussing James Wan's 2013 film Insidious: Chapter 2 in preparation for Patrick Wilson's upcoming sequel Insidious: The Red Door! Tagging in for the conversation are the hosts of Shudder's most watched series The Boulet Brothers' Dragula: Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet! Join us as we try to figure out why a horror film released in 2013 would repurpose the plot of Sleepaway Camp for a modern audience, while appreciating the camp factor of this

Micro Queers: Bad Girl Boogey (2022)

Horror Queers ·

2023/07/04

We're back with a fresh Micro Queers on Australian trans teen filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay's queer slasher film, Bad Girl Boogey (2022). We would have liked more time with these characters (and maybe a longer runtime overall), as well as a stronger killer reveal, but the film's musicality, its DIY aesthetic, and the fact that Mackay has made an unapologetically queer film is worth celebrating. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Letterboxd, Facebook, or

The Hitcher (1986)

Horror Queers ·

2023/06/28

Our mothers told us never to do this but we just couldn't resist so we're having an in-depth discussion of Robert Harmon's 1986 classic The Hitcher. Join us as we discuss the gay panic of it all in this queer-coded cautionary tale. From Rutger Hauer's predatory queer to C. Thomas Howell's virginal twink, The Hitcher has it all! Plus: the film's origins as a 190-page(???) script, lots and lots of saliva play, ferryman/fairy man and getting your car all kinds of wet. References: >Grierson, Tim

Bad Hair (2020) feat. Carolyn Mauricette

Horror Queers ·

2023/06/21

Don't wig out, but prepare for a whiter-- *ahem* WIDER audience, because we're discussing Justin Simien's horror comedy Bad Hair (2020)! Weaving her way into this discussion is Fantasia International Film Festival programmer and horror journalist Carolyn Mauricette! Join us as we try to figure out the many, many things this film is trying to do, praising the intent behind most of the creative decisions while lamenting the confused execution. Is it self-aware camp? Is it self-serious horror? Is it

Micro Queers: Jagged Mind (2023)

Horror Queers ·

2023/06/15

Micro Queers is back with a spoiler-filled dive into director Kelly Kali's Jagged Mind (2023), the Hulu feature adaptation of screenwriter Allyson Morgan's Bite Sized Halloween short First Date. We're big fans of lead actors Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Shannon Woodward, who are imminently watchable in this time loop relationship thriller, though the narrative is a touch repetitive and we have questions about how the magic works. Still: queer horror where the representation just is? It's a Pride

Hereditary (2018) feat. Girl, That's Scary

Horror Queers ·

2023/06/14

Avoid triangles and watch your head because we're talking Ari Aster's Hereditary (2018) aka the film that we named our horror awards after! We're joined by mega fans Jazz and Kat from Girl, That's Scary, who love the film, but wonder if Aster is ok? It's all about Toni Collette's "bad mom", but also shout-outs to Alex Wolff and Ann Dowd. Plus: a trans reading of Paimon, Dante's Inferno, secret clues, skittering and turkey noises, and the perils of making deals with the 8th King of

Jurassic Park (1993)

Horror Queers ·

2023/06/07

Flock this way because we've spared no expense as we continue our dinosaur double bill with a gendered analysis of Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic Jurassic Park! Join us as we explore the "intense science-fiction terror" (thanks, MPA) of a land in which dinosaurs are capable of changing their biological sex! Plus: a look at the revolutionary effects in the film, lots of Marvel talk, Deep Blue Sea comparisons and some horrible attempts at imitating the velociraptor calls. Questions? Comments? Snark

Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) feat. Erick Lorinc

Horror Queers ·

2023/05/31

Prepare your tiny little puppet hands because we're discussing Stewart Raffill's cult classic Tammy and the T-Rex (1994). Along for the ride is director Erick Lorinc, who is such a super fan of the film that he's cried watching it! This is a very funny, silly, and surprisingly heartfelt film with a genuinely good performance from Denise Richards. Plus: gay best friend Byron and homophobic cops, ejaculating brains, worshipping Helga and Wendy, the Gore Cut vs the PG-13 cut, and sequels/spin-offs we

Annihilation (2018) feat. Nightmare on 5th Street

Horror Queers ·

2023/05/24

Get ready to mutate because we're heading into the weird, wonderful and terrifying world of Alex Garland's Annihilation (2018)! Joining us for the conversation are Alma and Dalia of the Nightmare on 5th Street podcast! Join us as we try our best to analyze this admittedly dense film, with discussions on how it works as an adaptation, the casting controversy, the likability of certain characters and (of course) that weird as hell climax. Plus: refraction action, horrifying mutated bears, cancer

Elephant (2003)

Horror Queers ·

2023/05/17

Just in time for its 20th Cannes anniversary, we're talking about gay director Gus Van Sant's Elephant (2003) which takes a fictional docuseries approach to the Columbine massacre. C/W for anyone involved in a (school) shooting. Expect a lot of talk about the film's technical elements: the long takes, the dispassionate violence, the use of non-professional actors in a real school, and the lack of a conventional beginning/middle/end. Plus: nuanced queer inclusion, debate about Gus Van Sant's
