Micro Queers: I Love Your Guts (2021)

Horror Queers ·

2022/06/17

This month on Micro Queers, we're working the late shift at the fast food joint with David Jancove's I Love Your Guts (2021). We're talking great female friendships, violence vs gore, comparisons to Buffy's 'Doublemeat Palace' episode, and why we don't want to see a feature version of this short. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Warm up Fistina and Palmette because we're heading to NYC circa 1990 to discuss the sinister succubus at the center of James Bond III's Troma classic Def By Temptation! Joining us for the conversation is DBT superfan (and Bloody Disgusting Podcast co-host) Zena Dixon! Join us as we give a bit of a Troma primer (it's our first Troma film!) before jumping into the film's treatment of its queer character, as well as a discussion of the dreaded AIDS Mary urban legend.

2022/06/08

We hope you've got the scrote for this job because we're heading to Spooky Island to solve the mystery of the zombified co-eds in Raja Gosnell's 2002 live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo! Joining us for the conversation is noted Scooby-head Cory McCullough! Join us as we trace the film's journey from a PG-13 (or R-rated???) Brady Bunch Movie-style parody of the classic Scooby-Doo cartoons to a compromised but joyous, family-friendly(???) celebration of all things Mystery, Inc. We wouldn't expect

Spoiler-Free Review: Carter Smith's 'Swallowed'...

Horror Queers ·

2022/06/04

We're dropping a mini-review of Carter Smith's new queer horror film Swallowed, which just had its world-premiere at the Overlook Film Festival! Since the film is still seeking distribution and thus can't be seen by most audiences, this a completely spoiler-free review. We will release a longer (spoiler-filled) episode on the film when it gets released. Starring Jena Malone (The Ruins, The Neon Demon) and Mark Patton (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge), Swallowed is a pulse-pounding

2022/06/01

Make sure those human fetuses are refrigerated properly because we're hitting the road with Rosie (fucking) Perez and Javier Bardem in Álex de la Iglesia's controversial film Perdita Durango (1997), which only just saw the release of its uncut version last year! Joining us for the trip is Salem Horror Fest's Festival Director Kay Lynch! Join us as we look at the film's origins as a sequel to Wild at Heart (yes, really) before discussing the films taboo and challenging subject matter. Rosie Perez's

Incident in a Ghostland (2018) feat. Xero Gravity

Horror Queers ·

2022/05/25

This week we're covering our second Pascal Laugier film, 2018's Incident in a Ghostland. C/W: misogyny, transphobia. Along for the ride is Blerdy Massacre co-host Xero Gravity, who joins us in getting increasingly aggravated with the Martyrs director the more we learn what he thinks he's doing with this film, which includes a lot of teen female abuse, a caricature trans woman villain and unabashed love for HP Lovecraft?! We're more forgiving of the twist, as well as the performances of Emilia Jones

2022/05/20

Micro Queers returns with a Carter Smith (The Ruins, Bugcrush) short about something unusual happening to a group of high school students.

Wake in Fright (1971) feat. A Nightmare on Fierce Street

Horror Queers ·

2022/05/18

Brush up on your two-up and watch out for them kangaroos (oh, God, the kangaroos!) because we're heading Down Under to discuss Ted Kotcheff's famed "lost film" Wake in Fright (1971)! Joining us are A Nightmare on Fierce Street co-hosts Sharai Bohannon and Trent Reese! First thing's first: this film has a 10-minute-long sequence featuring Cannibal Holocaust levels of real-life animal violence (it's the kangaroos), so major content warning for that. Consider yourself warned. Anyway, after a brief

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)

Horror Queers ·

2022/05/11

It's another Friday the 13th, so we're back on the Jason Voorhees beat with Jason Lives (1986), the sixth entry in the franchise and also its smartest? That's the argument Trace makes, though Joe is less certain about its humor. What we both agree on is that the Tom McLoughlin film has a (mostly) great final girl in Megan, a hot Tommy Jarvis, and Jason's got a tight heinie. Plus: the Camp Blood card game (here are the rules), the film's best death and scariest sequences, and justice for Sissy and

Horror Queers ·

2022/05/04

This week we're covering non-binary trans filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun's screen life film, We're All Going To The World's Fair (2021). Along for the ride is Dread Central's Editor-In-Chief - and found footage expert - Mary Beth McAndrews, who praises World's Fair as a great example of a hybrid screen life film. Using interviews and quotes from Schoenbrun's director statement, Trace adds context to this ominous tale of internet celebrity while Mary Beth shares details of her childhood online, which

The Untamed (2016)

2022/04/27

Strap in because we're discussing our first Mexican film and boy is it a doozy! We're going to be discussing all the internalized homophobia and tentacle alien monster sexcapades in Amat Escalante's 2016 film The Untamed! Join us as we try to figure out what the tentacle alien monster represents while lauding the film for its realistic (and graphic!) depiction of gay sex and then jump right into adding a new letter to the LGBTQIA acronym (someone alert GLAAD!).

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Horror Queers ·

2022/04/20

We're not bad, we're just drawn that way! And we're headed to Toontown to discuss Robert Zemeckis' looney tune-y cinematic masterpiece (and every child's nightmare fuel) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)! Join us as we worship at the altar of Jessica Rabbit before applying a queer reading to Judge Doom (Don't be a sourpuss! He's a quintessential self-hating queer figure that might fall into the queer killer trope). Plus: our lengthiest production history yet, discussing the film's incredibly dark
