Horror Queers

Grab your belts and hop on the roof of that car because we're discussing our very first Quentin Tarantino film in 2007's pseudo-slasher/exploitation film Death Proof. Join us as we conclude the Grindhouse double feature that we started last year with Planet Terror.

From the debates about the film's feminist messaging to Tarantino's own disillusionment with the film, we have a lot to say! Plus: dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue, discussing the rest of the fake trailers, why Arlene/Butterfly (Vanessa Ferlito) is Joe's favorite character and one Hell of a final shot.

Look, no one ever said we were perfect...

To celebrate the end of another year of Horror Queers, Joe secretly put together a clips reel of memorable outtakes, featuring mispronunciations, flubs (sometimes multiple!), forgetfulness, and other delightful fuck ups. Enjoy!

We're #manifesting a happy New Year's with our best influencer friend courtesy of Sophia Takal and Adam Gaines' "New Year, New You" (2018).

The all-female entry of Into The Dark is all about toxic (female) friendships and anticipates a ton of 2022 "Influencer" horror titles, particularly Sissy. 

Plus: praise for Carly Chaikin, questions about Suki Waterhouse's career, debates about social media advertising and complaints of "wokeness", and sly commentary (maybe?) by Takal and Gaines about the importance of Black, queer and fat people in white women's stories.

You didn't think we'd abandon you for Christmas, did you? For our final Main Feed episode of 2024, we're tackling Damien Leone's Terrifer 3 (2024) AKA the highest grossing unrated film OF ALL TIME!!!

We break the action into two discussions: Sienna's Final Girl Trauma storyline, then the Art & Vicky stuff. Trace feels the former is too familiar, while Joe is a bit more generous.

Plus: Leone's rebuttal to accusations of misogyny, horror cameos, debate if Art is Vicky's sidekick, the wonky death that doesn't work for us, and how Art has broken into the mainstream.

Celebrate the holidays with one final Micro Queers as we check in on prolific Aussie filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay's latest, Carnage for Christmas (2024).

We really enjoy watching Mackay develop as a filmmaker, though the film could benefit from a few less characters and storylines. Still, Carnage for Christmas has a unique killer mask, some great gore, and one badass lead protagonist in podcaster Lola.

Grab your gun and watch out for falling planters because we're back in Hagsploitation territory with Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), the defacto sequel to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

There's so much to enjoy in this delectable thriller, including gorgeous B/W cinematography, another empathetic lead performance from Bette Davis and a scenery chewing Olivia de Havilland.

Plus: Another epic Bette vs Joan showdown, surprising Oscar noms, double bill recommendations, and why de Havilland should have played more bitches

Beware of pigs on the road and hide your wedding dress because we're talking Marisa Crespo & Moisés Romera's queer Christmas horror film, You Are Not Me (2022).

Spoiler alert: this is a great companion piece to The Invitation, complete with cults, and a consideration of class and cultural stereotypes. It's also shot really well!

Prepare yourself for bloat and bombast because we're discussing Joel Schumacher's 2004 adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera for its 20th anniversary! Tagging in for the conversation is queer musician Bartees Strange, who provides some much needed musical insight on the film.

Join us as we try to figure out why this movie doesn't sing (sorry) the way it should. It's a constant war of style vs. substance, with a lot of visuals that look great....but mean nothing. Adding insult to injury is the perplexing decision to cast non-singer Gerard Butler as the Phantom, who makes some questionable decisions regarding the villain's characterization.

Plus: Emmy Rossum's breakout role, Patrick Wilson's Lord Farquad haircut, reprise after reprise after reprise, golden arm candelabra holders and a runaway chandelier.

***Episode Correction: During his prodcution history, Trace says that the stage production of The Phantom of the Opera premiered in 1968, but it was actually 1986.

We're celebrating director Adam Randall's under seen puzzle film I See You (2019) for its fifth anniversary.

From the film's terrible marketing to its plethora of twists, there's a lot to discuss, including a potentially uncomfortable reading about (implied) sexual molestation.

Plus: queer writer Devon Graye, Helen Hunt's return, phrogging in horror, and *that* score!

Wield your clippers and marvel at your Scalp Shrine because we're discussing Jill Gevargizian's feature directorial debut The Stylist (2020)! Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and resident wig expert) Lindsay Traves!

Join us as we dive into the mind of protagonist Claire, played wonderfully by Najarra Townsend while lauding Gevargizian's stylish (heh heh) filmmaking techniques. Plus: a discussion on salon etiquette, some supremely squelchy foley work and the world's cheapest wedding hairstyle ($65?! Really?!).

Log onto 'Encounters' and dust off your Peachfuzz mask because we're talking Creep 2 (2017). Along for the ride is The Queer Quadrant co-host Brooke Solomon, who finds plenty to appreciate in a sequel that is more complex than its predecessor.

Plus: Praise for both Duplass and bisexual co-star Desiree Akhavan, debating male vs female nudity, dismissing claims that Sara is "dumb", Coppola wine, and speculation about Shudder's The Creep Tapes

Prepare to get "potted" because we're discussing not just any murder, but a good murder in Albert Ray's confusing as all get-out 1932 murder mystery comedy The Thirteenth Guest! Tagging in for the conversation is Amanda Jane Stern, the co-writer/star of the new psychosexual thriller Perfectly Good Moment.

Join us as we try to figure out just what the hell is going on in this convoluted little film, which features an early Ginger Rogers performance (in a dual role, no less!). From electrified telephones to mysterious rooms without trap doors, there's just too much crammed into this film's extremely brief 69-minute runtime for it to make any kind of sense.

Plus: an absolutely horrifying colorized version of the film, a brother and his "roommate," and souls that look like the inside of vinegar bottles. Oh, and who in the hell is the titular thirteenth guest???

For our final week of Gay Divas and Anniversaries, we're revisiting Wes Craven's iconic 1984 franchise starter, A Nightmare on Elm Street for its 40th anniversary.

From discussions about why Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is *the* Final Girl to Fred(dy) Krueger's challenging backstory to the film's financial issues, this is the perfect capper to our two month theme.

Plus: Sta Awake & a carafe full of coffee, the possibility of a new entry in the series, Marge's ties to Black Christmas' Mrs. Mack, and NoES' perfect homage to The Shining. This film truly has it all!

Spoon that icing out of the can and get ready for a lot of time jumps because "it" is awake in Robert Zemeckis' Death Becomes Her (1992). It's a smorgasbord of bitchery and high fashion in this delectable black comedy.

Join us as we marvel at the Oscar-winning special effects that are anything but "cheap" in this hilarious film starring two of Hollywood's greatest actresses (Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn) and a scene-stealing Bruce Willis.

Plus: fat suits, rock-like tits, floating nuns, beekeeper couture, and sex. Sex. Sex. En garde, bitches!

Beware of dark web games and toxic workplaces because we're checking out Michelle Iannantuono's Livescreamers (2023).

There's a lot to like about this, from gaming Easter Eggs to big topic issues in gaming and online environments. A few plot beats don't entirely work for us, but it's easy to forgive that when gamers are being sprayed with blood!

Ditch the school dance and come party with Angela because we're talking Kevin S. Tenney's Night of the Demons (1988).

Not a lot of character or plot in this one, but it's a really fun time with some stylish direction and great FX.

Plus: Angela as a dancing (nepo) icon, Linnea Quigley's line deliveries, Rodger as a rare black 80s horror survivor, and subverting the "good boy/bad boy" trope with Jay and Sal.

Bust out those American flags and prepare to get that child schnockered because we're finally discussing Bob Clark's seminal horror classic Black Christmas (1974). Tagging in for the conversation is award-winning Australian film critic and author Alexandra Heller-Nicholas!

Join us as we do a deep dive into one of Elvis Presley's favorite films (yes, really!), praising Queen Barb (Margot Kidder) and marveling at the sheer progressiveness of the film. From abortion subplots to discussions of female agency, Black Christmas is one pretty, piggy picture that's a classic for a reason!

If you listened to this week’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre episode, you know that Joe has joined forces with former guest Jenn Adams for a new true crime podcast that looks at fictionalized adaptations of real events: Murder Made Fiction.

Here's a sample of what you can expect of the Bloody FM pod, which has looked at Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, and will be looking at Jonestown, Waco and the Menendez brothers in the future.

Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Rev that chainsaw and break a window (or two) because we are celebrating Tobe Hooper's classic film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).

Hitching a ride in the van is The Losers' Club and Halloweenies co-host Rachel Reeves, who offers invaluable insight into the sound design of the film.

Plus: defending Franklin, iconic shots, treating people as meat, Leatherface as matriarch, and a lot of screaming.

Oh, and if you want more Ed Gein backstory, check out Joe's other podcast: Murder Made Fiction!

Pop in that 1984 videocassette because we're checking out writer/director Cradeaux Alexander's Inherit The Witch (2024). Sadly we're not recommending this one.

Despite a few fun performances and an unexpected ending, the feuding family film is overly plotted, feels drawn out, and features some pretty dodgy acting. It's just not for us.

Check your red panty inventory and hide that bottle of Chardonnay because we're discussing David Fincher's exceptional adaptation of Gillian Flynn's bestseller Gone Girl in the third week of our Anniversaries and Diva Worship theme. Be a "Cool Girl" and give us a listen!

Join us as we dig into the origins of Flynn's source novel before going all in on this 2.5-hour juggernaut of a film (and yet it flies by???). From Rosamund Pike's Oscar-nominated performance to the accusations of misogyny, there's no shortage of things to discuss in this densely plotted film.

Plus: Carrie Coon (and Missi Pyle!) worship, atrocious accent attempts, thoughts on the Outback Steakhouse, treasure hunts and world class vaginas.

This collection of tales is quintessential gateway horror, featuring several famous folks (some we know; some we should) and very cute horror homages.

Plus: our fave and least fave segments, its unabashed queerness and Trace's appreciation of the sound design!

It's a 'Joe pick' for the second week of our Gay Icons & Anniversaries theme as the boys discuss Jonathan Glazer's modern classic Birth (2004).

Starring Nicole Kidman as a woman grieving her dead husband, Birth was a lightning rod for controversy, but it's so much more than its bathtub scene and reincarnation plot.

Plus: why Bright's casting prompted a complete script rewrite, ties to Rosemary's Baby, a superb Anne Heche, and the two minute long take that should have earned Kidman an Oscar nom. This is a gay masterpiece, people!

With the recent cancellation of PLL, we're releasing our Patreon exclusive on season 2 of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin......Pretty Little Liars: Summer School (spoiler alert: summer school isn't really important this season).

Join us as we go through the many, many characters the show has, discussing what worked and what didn't about the many, many subplots crammed into this season's 8 episodes. A lot of it works! And a lot of it doesn't.

Plus: the "fandom's" hate for Noa, punny business names, this season's MVPs and that/those killer reveal(s).

Put away that Thai food and get ready to be lime green Jell-O because we're celebrating our 300th episode with a month-long theme of gay icons and anniversaries! And what better way to kick things off than by revisiting a film we covered in one of our earliest episodes? That's right, it's time to revisit Jennifer's Body (2009)! Tagging in for the conversation is Mae Shults, the co-host of the Lady Killers Podcast!

Join us as we begin this super-sized, 3-hour episode (yes, really) by doing a proper deep dive into the film's production history (our format has changed a bit since we discussed it way back in 2019), including a lengthy conversation about the public shaming Megan Fox endured after she made some comments about Michael Bay.

Plus: script leaks, "Twilight for boys," a lesson in polyamory, wetties, afterbirth prom dresses and so much more. When all is said and done, we can finally cross out Jennifer's Body!
