Pretty Little Liars S02: Summer School (2024)
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 na

Redux: Jennifer's Body (2009) feat. Mae Shults
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 prop

The Girl With All The Gifts (2016) feat. Carolyn Mauricette
Hide your cat and don't say zombie because we're talking Colm McCarthy's 2016 adaptation of M.R.Carey's YA novel, The Girl With All The Gifts. Along for the ride is returning guest Carolyn Mauricette! Anchored by great performances from Glenn Close and newcomer Sennia Nanua, this dystopian "hungries" film is surprisingly complex, especially its dark/happy ending. Plus: celebrating black girls, The Last of Us comparisons, comparisons to the book, and Melanie's young queer love for Ms. Justineau.

Micro Queers: The Exorcism of Saint Patrick (2024)
Is there something in the water? We're back with another queer horror indie tackling conversion/aversion therapy. This time it's writer/director Quinn Armstrong's trilogy opener, The Exorcism of Saint Patrick (2024). C/W: suicide This one is doing its own thing, from great gore effects to beautiful exterior shots and even a fat gay teen main character (yay diverse representation!) Questions? Comments? Snark?

Beetlejuice (1988)
To tie into Tim Burton's new sequel, we're revisiting the 1988 classic Beetlejuice. Trace has a funny backstory with the film, while Joe barely has a connection to it. We both agree, however, that the film is a creative triumph, with amazing characters and boundless background details that flesh out the world. Plus: multiple queer elements, the film's obsession with suicide, the animated cartoon and the musical adaptation, and why Delia is *the* best character. Reference: Tori Williams. "No One

Micro Queers: Ganymede (2024)
Repress that gay demon and avert the aversion therapy because we're discussing Ganymede (2024), a queer thriller that we quite liked! When a small town wrestling star develops a crush on an openly gay classmate, all Hell breaks loose when he begins seeing visions of a demonic ganymede. Featuring affecting lead performances from Pablo Castelblanco and Jordan Doww and over-the-top performances from David Koechner and Robin Lively (Teen Witch), Ganymede is a bit all over the place, but we think the

Interview: Ariel Powers-Schaub on Millennial Nasties
Joe sits down to chat with Ariel Powers-Schaub about her new book, Millennial Nasties, which looks at a particular subgenre of horror from 2000-2010s. They discuss what constitutes a "Millennial Nasty," why the term Torture Porn should be retired, and how the 40+ titles in her book are connected by "Six Degrees of Saw-peration." Questions?

Critters (1986)
Hop out of that toilet and repair that slingshot because we're headed to the cozy little town of Grover's Bend, Kansas to meet up with some Krites in Stephen Herek's 1986 horror comedy Critters (can you believe it's Joe's first time???). Join us as we go deep into the production of this film that's absolutely not a ripoff of Gremlins (seriously!) before diving into the hilarious antics of the titular toothy furballs and the adventures of the Brown family. Plus: a discussion of "toned films," not

Micro Queers: Killer Body Count (2024)
Pack your bags and grab that promise ring because we're discussing Danishka Esterhazy's (Slumber Party Massacre '21) Tubi Original slasher Killer Body Count! This one is a bit of a mixed bag, as there are several great moments sprinkled throughout its unnecessarily long 2-hour runtime, but the gore is good and the cast is game, so you could do a lot worse on a Friday night!

Titane (2021) feat. Girl, That's Scary
Strap yourself in because we're serial killing and car fucking with Titane (2021). Riding along in the Cadillac are Jazz and Kat of Girl, That's Scary, who have plenty to say about Julia Ducournau's follow-up to Raw. Up for discussion: how many people has Alexia killed and have long has she been sleeping with cars? Is Justine the same cannibal character? What is Vincent sticking in his ass? And did Rayane deserve to be exploded? Plus: working through pronouns and a few trans readings (both pro a

Micro Queers: Doctor Jekyll (2023)
A contemporary trans take on Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde featuring Suzy Izzard?! We were so psyched for this one, but alas, Trace doesn't recommend and Joe is only a soft recommend. Despite strong performances, writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern doesn't do anything with the material, which results in a film that's just kinda boring. If you're looking for a better take on this material, you're better off revisiting 1971's Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde.

Blood for Dracula (1974) feat. Conrad Chambers
Pack your bags because we're heading to Italy to look for the blood of wirgins in (Andy Warhol's) Paul Morrissey's Blood for Dracula (1974), a companion piece to his (their?) Flesh for Frankenstein (1974). Tagging in for the conversation is Conrad Chambers, the co-host of Movie Oubliette and The Queer Gaze. CW: sexual assault. Join us as we try to figure out just what is going on in this wacky little movie. From Udo Kier's diva of a Dracula to the film's very, very questionable messaging when it
