Freeway (1996)

Horror Queers ·

2021/02/24

This week, in honor of trick baby Trace's birthday, we're delving into Matthew Bright's Freeway (1996), a "white trash" exploitation/rape revenge/little red riding hood genre mash-up starring a very foul mouthed Reese Witherspoon and predatory perv Kiefer Sutherland. Content warning: pedophilia, sexual assault, suicide and racism. We discuss the stacked cast, the line between satire, parody and offensive humor, and the film's surprisingly smart class critique. Plus: Trace's favorite lines, Joe's

We'll also try to answer the most common questions brought up in discussions of the film: is the conflation of mental illness with possession offensive? Should the film have steered away

My Bloody Valentine (1981)

Horror Queers ·

2021/02/10

Just in time for Singles Awareness Day, we're losing our hearts to the 1981 Canadian slasher, My Bloody Valentine...or at least Joe is. Trace is more lukewarm on the George Mihalka film, which suffers from an uninspired villain reveal and too many characters. We discuss the size (and deliciousness?) of hearts, why TJ's narrative is important for small town Nova Scotians, the cost of dirtying up a mine and Joe's strange personal connection to one of the film's actors. Plus: love triangles, the film's

Splice (2010) feat. Prince Jackson

Horror Queers ·

2021/02/03

Our month of 3s has ended, so we're kicking off February with a discussion of Vincenzo Natali's supremely messed up sci-fi horror film (and secret Dark Castle film) Splice, which also acts as an early celebration of Joe's birthday! Joining us for the chat is Prince Jackson, host of our sister podcast Knight Light! Before we get to it, just a heads up if you've never seen the film: we're issuing content warnings for rape, animal death, incest and (depending on how you view Dren) pedophilia and/or

Alien 3 (1992) feat. Sade Sellers

Horror Queers ·

2021/01/27

Our month of 3s comes to a close with David Fincher's Alien 3 (1992), which may take the prize for most convoluted production history. Here to help us make sense of the Assembly Cut (not the theatrical cut) is returning guest Sade Sellers (see previous episode Orphan), who has issues with the film's treatment of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and sexual assault (content warning!) Plus: our secret connections to the number three, the xenomorph as drag queen, the differences between the theatrical and

2021/01/20

We're in our third week of 3s, and what better way to celebrate than with good ol' Norman Bates himself in Anthony Perkins' directorial debut Psycho III? Despite the film's iconic opening line, there has to be a God, right? otherwise we wouldn't have this darkly comedic entry in the Psycho franchise! Join us as we delve deep into the closeted life of Anthony Perkins, look for queerness in his unique directing style (so many colors and fun transitions!), lament the rushed third act and become
