Horror Queers ·

2022/08/31

Be wary of seismic activity because we're discussing Ron Underwood's 1990 creature feature, Tremors with the help of author and podcaster Cooper S. Beckett. Let's get this...er...straight right off the top: this is a very queer film! Not only are Val and Earl totally in a relationship, but Rhonda is lesbian-coded. Plus: horrifying deaths, practical Graboid effects, the politics of survivalist couple Burt and Heather, short pole-vaults and what the fuck is homosociality?! References: Nicola Vaughan

Micro Queers: Griffica (2021)

Horror Queers ·

2022/08/25

Our second Micro Queers short this month is Griffica (2021), written and directed by CJ Arellano. This short is unique because it's told entirely in voice over, which we praise for allowing us to focus on the clean, modern visuals. Is the idea of a boyfriend so perfect he must be demon appeal more to gay men and our stunted development? We debate! Questions? Comments? Snark?

The Lighthouse (2019) feat. Cat Blackard

Horror Queers ·

2022/08/24

We know yer fond of our lobster because we're talking about Robert Eggers' 2019 treatise on homoeroticism and toxic masculinity, 'The Lighthouse.'

We discuss Eggers' trademark dedication to technical precision, shooting conditions in Nova Scotia, Androeroticism, defending Robert Pattison (and his accent), 'The Lighthouse' as rom com (with farts) and Cat’s own epic monologue around the

Bonus: On Being a Critic

Horror Queers ·

2022/08/18

Welcome to our special bonus minisode on what it's like being a critic! This minisode was part of a conversation that we had in this week's episode on Michele Soavi's Stage Fright, but it was a bit too off-topic so we decided to cut it out and release it as its own special episode! Get a peek behind the curtain as we chat with this week's guest Rachael Nisbet about the highs and lows of what it's like to be a critic. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Stage Fright (1987) feat. Rachael Nisbet

Horror Queers ·

2022/08/17

Get ready to sell your ass in the men's room because we're getting locked in a theatre with a theatre troupe in Michele Soavi's giallo-cum-slasher Stage Fright (1987)! Joining us for the conversation is Arrow Video contributor and Fragments of Fear co-host Rachael Nisbet! After trying to figure out why Stage Fright is included in lists of gialli, we go all in on Soavi's directorial debut and discuss how his tutelage from Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava fueled his creative vision for this film.

2022/08/12

In the first Micro Queers of the month, we head to Texas with Brock Cravy's Innocent Boy (2020).

2022/08/10

After years of requests we're finally heading to Midian to hang with Boone and Button-Face in Clive Barker's Nightbreed (1990)! Joining us for the conversation is super-fan Leigh Monson (see previous episode on Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II). In this episode, which premiered at last year's Frightgown Film Festival, we discuss the film's arduous production and incredibly troubled post-production before going all-in on the queer allegory with the monsters of Midian (aka the "Nightbreed").

Sleepaway Camp (1983) feat. Ten Backe

Horror Queers ·

2022/07/27

For the last entry in our Camp series, we're finally tackling Robert Hiltzik's Sleepaway Camp (1983). Along for the short shorts and Judy of it all is returning guest - and big fan of the film - Ten Backe. The big question is whether this film is homophobic and transphobic. Hiltzik doesn't have a lot of thoughts on the matter, but we, and many trans film critics, do. Is Sleepaway Camp worthy of praise and (re)appropriation by the queer community? Plus: comparisons to Friday the 13th, thoughts on

Week 4 of the Summer of Camp finds us fucking life in the gallbladder with Flesh For Frankenstein (1974). Along for the ride is returning guest Reyna Cervantes, who loves Paul Morrissey's X-Rated satire, which could never be made today! After Trace provides a quick crash course on Andy Warhol and The Factory, we dive into the 3D, the Mafia (!) and the incest/necrophilia of it all (C/W by the way). Plus: hot Udo Kier, the destruction of the nuclear family, asexuality vs gay vibes, debates about male

Female Trouble (1974) feat. Andy Scahill

Horror Queers ·

2022/07/13

The Summer of Camp rolls on as Professor Andy Scahill returns to discuss our very first John Waters film, Female Trouble (1974). This is a great introduction to Waters, the Dreamlanders and Divine in a film that defines bad taste and trash. Come for the discussion on why Christmas is hard on queers, our love of Mink Stole and how the film evokes Waters' counter culture approach to indie filmmaking. Are you offended? Good!
