The Boy Next Door (2015) feat. Matt Donato

Horror Queers ·

2020/01/29

Grab your first edition copy of The Iliad, because we're closing out our anniversary month by covering Rob Cohen's (The Fast and the Furious, xXx) The Boy Next Door, an erotic thriller that is neither erotic nor thrilling! Joining us for this riff-fest is noted The Boy Next Door defender (and fellow Bloody Disgusting columnist) Matt Donato, and he's brought along a raw chicken for all of us to share! Join us as we commend Lopez for using her own clothes to cut down on production costs, but lament

All Cheerleaders Die (2013) feat. PRIMO the ALIEN

Horror Queers ·

2020/01/22

Anniversary month continues as the boys head back to high school, bitches! Along with special guest PRIMO the ALIEN, we're digging into co-directors Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson's remake of their own film, which is itself a franchise non-starter (Part One, you say? Show us the receipts!) Despite a killer opening, this film certainly did not "blue our balls" with its mish-mash of tones, weird pacing and poor editing. Thankfully there's jokes to be made about butt plugs, vagina freezers and Trace's

Hostel: Part II (2007)

Horror Queers ·

2020/01/15

The boys are making a return trip to Slovakia to discuss a film that no one wanted to guest on! That's right, they're discussing Eli Roth's controversial and (dare they say it?) feminist sequel Hostel: Part II! Join them as they discuss the rapid decline of the torture porn sub-genre between 2006 and 2007, the accusations of misogyny lodged against the film, and Roth's progressive decision to make the protagonist of his sequel a lesbian (whom he doesn't objectify!) while casting out-and-proud

Scream 2 (1997)

Horror Queers ·

2020/01/08

Hi! No, we really mean it. Hi! After nearly a year of waiting, the time has come for Trace and Joe to dig into the best film in the Scream franchise and arguably the best horror sequel of all time. Join us as we praise the film's dedication to further developing its main trio, its willingness to kill off Randy and, of course, Laurie Metcalf's totally unhinged performance as Mrs. Loomis (or is it Ms. Loomis? Try to keep track of Joe's pronunciations). Also on deck: wisdom from Wes Craven's audio

2020/01/01

Happy New Year, fellow Horror Queers! We are celebrating 2020 with a sequel to our very first episode: Speed Dating! That's right, the topic of discussion this week is....US. No - not the movie, like Joe, Trace and all of you. Oh, and we've got a fancy new opening theme to ring in the new year! Join us as we go over the results from the listener survey from back in November (it's more exciting than it sounds), including your favorite and least favorite episodes. We also announce the winner of the

Horror Queers ·

2019/12/18

Just in time for the last episode of the year before the holidays, the boys hit the time machine and travel back to Briarcliff Manor circa 1964 to party with the oppressed queers of American Horror Story: Asylum. Joining us for the fun is Vox's Emily VanDerWerff, who actually recapped the series back in 2012! The second season of the FX anthology series is basically a Stefon skit: it has EVERYTHING! Aliens, Nazis, serial killers, lesbians, and even sexy, possessed nuns. Plus, in the three episodes

2019/12/11

Just in time for the 45th anniversary of Bob Clark's iconic 1974 original film and the release of its second remake, the Horror Queers are celebrating the holidays with some eye bolas masquerading as Christmas tree ornaments in Glen Morgan's 2006 remake of Black Christmas! Joining them for this festive event is Alex Wiggins, the Acquisitions Supervisor for World of Death, who shares his traumatic experience of a hate crime that intruded on his first viewing of the film.

Blade: Trinity (2004)

Horror Queers ·

2019/12/04

Now that Trace has officially recovered from our 50th episode festivities, it's time to deal with an escalating vampire threat in David S. Goyer's Blade: Trinity, the whimpering conclusion of the groundbreaking (original) Marvel superhero trilogy. On the docket: why is a film filled with comedians so painfully unfunny? We speculate about the origin of the feud between Goyer and star Wesley Snipes (hint: racism), and discuss the badly-aged homophobic dialogue, which is sadly common ground for

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) feat. Ari Drew

2019/11/27

The Horror Queers are celebrating their 50th episode with a Very Special Episode discussing.....pedophilia? And The X-Files? If that sounds like a weird combination, it's because it is. Luckily, they have Trace's better half (i.e., husband) and X-Files stan Ari Drew helping them through this momentous occasion! What's the best way to reward your fans that have been watching your show for nine years? According to series creator Chris Carter, it's to release a completely standalone film that eschews

Jawbreaker (1999)

Horror Queers ·

2019/11/20

Everything is peachy fucking keen as the Horror Queers take a field trip to Reagan High to figure out the mystery behind Liz Purr and the mysterious jawbreaker lodged in her throat! In what is admittedly an unusual film to cover in a horror podcast, Joe and Trace grab their Big Sticks and dive into the legacy that Darren Stein's Jawbreaker has left behind. How did this critical and commercial failure become the cult phenomenon that it is? Did it really rip off Heathers? Or was it ripped off by Mean

Alien: Covenant (2017) feat. Drew Dietsch

Horror Queers ·

2019/11/13

It's time to hop aboard the Covenant and head over to Origae-6....oops! We mean this random mystery planet that didn't show up on any of our scans! But hey, it's probably fine, right? Joining us for our colonization mission is Drew Dietsch, co-host of the GenreVision and Fin Flicks podcasts! After kicking things off with a debate on who will work the hole and who will do the fingering, the trio dive into the long and convoluted history of how Prometheus led to Alien: Covenant.

Interview With The Vampire (1994)

Horror Queers ·

2019/11/06

With the start of November's cold weather, Trace and Joe head south to Mississippi to visit our favorite bickering gay couple: Louis and Lestat and their ADORABLE adopted daughter, Claudia. That's right, we're back in vampire territory as we tackle Neil Jordan's infamous adaptation of the iconic first novel in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles just in time for its 25th anniversary! This movie is super duper gay (for 1994). The boys ponder the film's weird development cycle, including bizarre

You've asked and you've asked and you've asked! The boys are finally covering A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, but there's a catch: it's LIVE! As part of Fantastic Fest's queer horror sidebar (which included the Texas Premiere of the documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street and a drag performance by Peaches Christ), the boys were fortunate enough to discuss NOES 2 with the film's stars Mark Patton (Jesse), Robert Rusler (Grady) and Kim Myers (Lisa)!

Happy Halloween, fellow Horror Queers! Here we are: the final week of our eight-week Camp Marathon! We're singing our hearts out, bathing in glitter and snorting just a *touch* of cocaine with Brian De Palma's musical rock opera horror film Phantom of the Paradise!
