Death Becomes Her (1992)
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

Micro Queers: Livescreamers (2023)
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! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Night of the Demons (1988)
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. Questions? Comments?

Black Christmas (1974) feat. Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

Murder Made Fiction: Ed Gein Primer
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.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) feat. Rachel Reeves
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!

Micro Queers: Inherit The Witch (2024)
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. Questions? Comments?

Gone Girl (2014)
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, ther

Micro Queers: Hauntology (2024)
Gather your queers and your WOC because we're talking Parker Brennon's anthology Hauntology (2024). 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!

Birth (2004)
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.
