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

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

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

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!).

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

2022/04/13

It's time for another gorgeous vampire film as we finally tackle Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In (2008). Along for the ride is The Beauty of Horror's Chandler Bullock, who connects deeply with the depiction of bullying in the film. Expect all three of us to get very candid! In addition to bullying, we unpack a multiplicity of trans readings for Eli, the eternal 12 year vampire, as well as debate at length whether the end of the film is a tragedy, a love story or both. Plus: Trace's thirst for

Black out your car windows because we're driving through the American West with Jesse Hooker's gang in Kathryn Bigelow's seminal vampire Western Near Dark (1987). Joining us for the trip is Kyle Adam Foster! Join us as we dive into all the hoops Bigelow had to jump through just to get this film made (a woman doing "man movies?" Who'da thought?!) before diving into the film's bungled release, which led to its commercial failure and "flop" status. Plus: an in-your-face AIDS allegory, questionable

Slather that sunscreen on your nose and get those boobies ready because we're doing Spring Break a little late this year as we discuss Alexandre Aja's incredibly fun and incredibly gory Piranha 3D (2010). Joining us for the fun is Megan Sunday, the co-host of the Let's Get Weirding podcast! Join us as we discuss the film's shockingly troubled post-production process (leading to some no-so-great CGI), the film's treatment of women, the dicks of both Jerry O'Connell and Adam Scott, and that nude,
