Let The Right One In (2008) feat. Chandler Bullock

Horror Queers ·

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

Near Dark (1987) feat. Kyle Adam Foster

Horror Queers ·

2022/04/06

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

Piranha 3D (2010) feat. Megan Sunday

Horror Queers ·

2022/03/30

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,

Peeping Tom (1960)

Horror Queers ·

2022/03/23

We're jetting back to 1960 to check out Michael Powell's classic Peeping Tom. First: forget Psycho (ok, we can't help but make comparisons!). But really, this film deserves more attention and recognition, and not just because it's a trivia question in Scream 4! Joe is adamant that the film is about more than gendered violence, while Trace has all of the medical deets about scopophilic fetishism aka voyeurism. Plus: a Scorcese save, penis tripods, films within films (Singin' in the Rain!), the film's

Death Drop Gorgeous (2021) feat. Tom & Lorenzo

Horror Queers ·

2022/03/16

For the final entry of our "underrated or underseen" theme, we're talking DIY drag horror film Death Drop Gorgeous (2021). Joining us are fashion and culture bloggers and podcasters Tom & Lorenzo, the married couple who literally wrote the book on RuPaul and queer lifestyle. This hilarious conversation repeatedly observes the way that only gay men could have made this film. Plus: in defense of sissy femme stereotypes, celebrations of big mouthed drag queens, memories of Joe’s time working in the gay

Spiral (2020)

Horror Queers ·

2022/03/09

What's better than escaping from the city and moving out to the country? Well, if it's 1995 and you're an interracial gay couple, almost anything. That's the story at the heart of Kurtis David Harder's queer horror film Spiral, our 2020 entry in our "Underseen or Underrated?" theme. Join us as we discuss this unabashedly queer horror film that manages to combine supernatural horror with very real horror to great effect. We'll discuss the hate crime that opens the film (and compare it to a similar

Climax (2019) feat. Matt Cipolla

Horror Queers ·

2022/03/02

Put on your spandex, avoid the sangria and stay out of the electrical closet because this week's "underrated or underseen" entry is Gaspar Noé's Climax (2019). Joining us on this (acid) trip is writer Matt Cipolla, who brings a wealth of Noé knowledge, as well as nihilist philosophy like E. M. Cioran's aphorisms. We discuss Noé as a troll and why the film is (or isn't?) political and racist, as well as the unorthodox & collaborative production, child murder and more than a few drug stories. Plus:

Asssassination Nation (2018) feat. Dani Bethea

It's trigger warnings for alllllll the things this week as we discuss the lulz in Sam Levinson's (Euphoria) controversial, confrontational and very, very timely film Assassination Nation (2018)! Joining us for the discussion is writer Dani Bethea! Join us as we discuss the film's approach to violence (where is the line between empowerment and re-traumatization?), its unusual (but intentional) lack of slurs, its commentary on empathy and that awesome single-take home invasion sequence that serves as

mother! (2017) feat. Ghouls Next Door

Horror Queers ·

2022/02/16

Grab your crystal heart and prepare for combustion. For 2017's "underseen or underrated" entry, we've recruited Gabe & Kat of Ghouls Next Door to discuss Darren Aronofsky's big budget flop: mother! The Jennifer Lawrence movie is more endurance experience than film and features a messy mix of religious, environmental and creative allegories that definitely contributed to its F Cinemascore. Needless to say, there's lot of unpack, including plenty of Biblical connections (why is Michelle Pfeiffer's

Blast your '90s music and prepare to get vulnerable with your masculinity because we're talking Nicholas Verso's 2016 coming-of-age drama Boys in the Trees! Joining us for this discussion (one that Joe's been waiting two years for) is Aussie author Aaron Dries (Dirty Heads, House of Sighs)! Join us as we discuss the film's handling of some admittedly sensitive subject matter (CW: sexual assault) before discussing the creative process that removed any explicit queer content from the film.

Bow down before the furnace because we are talking about Oz Perkins' 2015 debut film The Blackcoat's Daughter. Joining us is mega-fan Matt Monagle from Certified Forgotten, who counts this as his #1 horror film. After Trace takes us through the botched release schedule (with a few jabs at A24 and DirecTV), we dig into this intimate, dread-filled film which features three fantastic female performances and oozes atmosphere.
