    Micro Queers: You Are Not Me (2023)

    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!

    The Phantom of the Opera (2004) feat. Bartees Strange

    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.

    I See You (2019)

    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! Questions? Comments? Snark?

    The Stylist (2020) feat. Lindsay Traves

    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 we

    Creep 2 (2017) feat. Brooke Solomon

    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 Questions?

    The Thirteenth Guest (1932) feat. Amanda Jane Stern

    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 tel
