American Psycho (2000) feat. Eric Charmelo

Horror Queers ·

2020/04/08

Grab your clear raincoat, your overnight bag and your reservation at Dorsia! The boys, along with special guest Eric Charmelo (co-creator/showrunner of The CW's Ringer and co-screenwriter of The Perfection) time travel back to the 80s to revisit Mary Harron's masterful satire of Wall Street capitalism and sociopathy just in time for its 20th anniversary. The threesome collectively lose our memory recall (who is the star of this movie? What is the name of the film Bale and Mathis co-starred in later

April Fool's Day (1986)

Horror Queers ·

2020/04/01

Who's ready for a few good pranks? The boys hit the Canadian West Coast for a weekend retreat at the palatial island home of their Vassar friend, Muffy St. John , but the weekend doesn't go quite as planned. There are secret abortion cassettes, utterly unfathomable sex positions and some of the worst 80s fashion we've ever seen. Oh...and murder. There's something unusual about this late entry slasher and it's not just that actor Griffin O'Neal "Rebecca Gayhearted" (or is it "Brandied"?) a member of

Vamp (1986) feat. Cecil Baldwin

Horror Queers ·

2020/03/25

We're heading over to New York City (or is it Los Angeles?) to party it up with a vampiric Grace Jones in Richard Wenk's 1986 comedy horror film Vamp! Riding shotgun is Cecil Baldwin, the narrator of Welcome to Night Vale! Join us as Cecil educates us on the goings-on of 1980s New York City, which is not actually filled with green and magenta lighting. We finally make our way to the emptiest strip club ever: the aptly named "After Dark Club". While there, we chat with Dedee Pfeiffer (sister of

The Ranger (2018) feat. Annie Rose Malamet

Horror Queers ·

2020/03/18

In their attempt at social distancing, the boys abandon the city and head deep into the woods. Along for the ride is Girls, Guts & Giallo's Annie Rose Malamet, who schools the boys on all things punk (and Lisa Frank) so that they can understand the annoying teens in Jenn Wexler's The Ranger. Are you ready for two films in one? On one hand, we've got an 80s slasher throwback featuring punks vs authoritarians. On the other hand, we've got a (secret?) rape/revenge with lead character Chelsea (Chloë

Here's a sneak peek at our all new full-length Patreon bonus episode on the long-delayed, highly "controversial" Blumhouse/Universal film The Hunt (2020).

Jason X (2002)

Horror Queers ·

2020/03/11

Happy (early) Friday the 13th, y'all! We're celebrating the holiday with a return trip to space (following our episode on Hellraiser: Bloodline last month) with a festive viewing of the much-maligned Jason X. Join us as we say hello to a cameo-ing David Cronenberg before traveling 4.55 centuries into the future to board the vessel Grendel. While aboard, we will lament the outlawing of hockey in 2024, ponder the "Microsoft Conflict" and cheer on Janessa (Melyssa Ade) as she earns some sextra credit

The Blob (1988) feat. Meagan Navarro

Horror Queers ·

2020/03/04

The boys don their mullets and leather jackets for a one way trip to Arborville and something pink, purple and gooey! Along for the (motorcycle) ride is fellow Bloody Disgusting writer Meagan Navarro, who is a huge fan of the practical effects wizardry in what is arguably one of the best horror remakes ever. This film has EVERYTHING: small character moments, subversion of expectations, and a plethora of gnarly deaths/set pieces. Plus: Trace's love of Shawnee Smith, an extended conversation on the

2020/03/04

Here's a sneak peek at our all new full-length Patreon bonus episode on The Invisible Man (2020), Leigh Whannell's very well-received remake of the Universal Monster classic that tackles domestic abuse and gaslighting, and features an all-time performance by everyone's favorite *sigh* Scientologist Elisabeth Moss.

Zombeavers (2014)

Horror Queers ·

2020/02/26

In honor of Trace's 31st birthday, we're closing out February with a discussion of one of his favorite movies: Zombeavers! That's right, a movie that gifts us John Mayer in his feature film debut and one of the most salacious games of "Would You Rather" ever committed to film sends Trace into a non-stop flurry of giggle fits throughout the entire episode. Join us as we discuss this 77-minute-long film that features a plethora of beaver puns, Millennials scissoring each other to Lady Gaga,

Martyrs (2008)

Horror Queers ·

2020/02/19

You asked for it (well, at least one of you did), and so we are finally covering the listeners' choice that was selected from our 2019 Listener Survey! That's right, we're discussing Pascal Laugier's controversial 2008 film Martyrs (aka the most anti-spoiler film ever made)! Big thanks to listener Brian Conmy for helping us pull the trigger on covering this masterful and deeply upsetting film. Major trigger warnings for anyone who has never seen Martyrs, because this film is one of the most

Single White Female (1992) feat. Double A Horror Highway

Horror Queers ·

2020/02/12

We're kicking off Women in Horror Month with a confusing and frankly boring erotic thriller about a threatening lesbian roommate, written by a gay man, for straight male audiences. Joining us for the ride are the two Amys (Kasio and Ketchum) of Double A Horror Highway, who help to unpack the film's mushroom cut hairstyles, portable computing devices and why neither Bridget Fonda or Jennifer Jason Leigh's characters own any furniture. Also up for discussion: un-sexy sex clubs, showing (but not using)

Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996)

Horror Queers ·

2020/02/05

Anniversary month is dead! Long live Birthday month! To get the ball rolling, Joe has selected a terrible (read: great) film from his beloved Hellraiser franchise. Of course he opted for the fourth film - the one in space! - directed by none other than fake DGA moniker Alan Smithee (actually FX master Kevin Yagher). Folks, we have yet another super complicated production timeline, including a rumoured 112 min cut, multiple directors and reshoots that completely alter the film's meaning. And

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
