Jurassic Park (1993)
Flock this way because we've spared no expense as we continue our dinosaur double bill with a gendered analysis of Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic Jurassic Park! Join us as we explore the "intense science-fiction terror" (thanks, MPA) of a land in which dinosaurs are capable of changing their biological sex! Plus: a look at the revolutionary effects in the film, lots of Marvel talk, Deep Blue Sea comparisons and some horrible attempts at imitating the velociraptor calls. Questions? Comments? Sna

Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) feat. Erick Lorinc
Prepare your tiny little puppet hands because we're discussing Stewart Raffill's cult classic Tammy and the T-Rex (1994). Along for the ride is director Erick Lorinc, who is such a super fan of the film that he's cried watching it! This is a very funny, silly, and surprisingly heartfelt film with a genuinely good performance from Denise Richards. Plus: gay best friend Byron and homophobic cops, ejaculating brains, worshipping Helga and Wendy, the Gore Cut vs the PG-13 cut, and sequels/spin-offs

Annihilation (2018) feat. Nightmare on 5th Street
Get ready to mutate because we're heading into the weird, wonderful and terrifying world of Alex Garland's Annihilation (2018)! Joining us for the conversation are Alma and Dalia of the Nightmare on 5th Street podcast! Join us as we try our best to analyze this admittedly dense film, with discussions on how it works as an adaptation, the casting controversy, the likability of certain characters and (of course) that weird as hell climax. Plus: refraction action, horrifying mutated bears, cancer m

Elephant (2003)
Just in time for its 20th Cannes anniversary, we're talking about gay director Gus Van Sant's Elephant (2003) which takes a fictional docuseries approach to the Columbine massacre. C/W for anyone involved in a (school) shooting. Expect a lot of talk about the film's technical elements: the long takes, the dispassionate violence, the use of non-professional actors in a real school, and the lack of a conventional beginning/middle/end. Plus: nuanced queer inclusion, debate about Gus Van Sant's "me

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962) feat. Tyrone Williams
Chop up those rats and tomatoes and practice your vaudeville act because we're joined by guest Tyrone Williams to discuss Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962). Obviously the "feud" looms large over this film, so Trace has done a mega deep dive into the careers of both Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, this production and what followed. Plus: overusing the word "cloche", Oscar talk, a neat vs on the rocks hard liquor tangent, accusations of familiarity, a queer reading of Edwin

Night of the Creeps (1986) feat. Patrick Walsh
Cindy! Brad's here! And don't let him fondle your breasts because the slugs are invading, which means we're discussing Fred Dekker's delightfully sweet sci-fi comedy horror film Night of the Creeps (1986)! Joining us for the conversation is Patrick Walsh, the host of the ScreamQueenz podcast! Join us as we discuss the film's botched release before we go all in on a queer reading of JC (Steve Marshall) as the film's "gay best friend." Plus: disabled representation, two different endings, one very

Prometheus (2012) feat. My Bloody Judy
We're celebrating Alien Day with Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, Prometheus (2012), a film that sparks plenty of debate with guests Ian Carlos and Zach Patton-Garcia of My Bloody Judy. This is a beautiful, divisive film, filled with heady philosophical questions about life and religion, and also scientists who take off their helmets on alien planets and can't run left or right. Plus: Charlize Theron hate from Zach, mouth rape, Honest Trailer reactions, gays who can't do math, why Vickers deserved

Ganja & Hess (1973) feat. Brother Ghoulish
Grab your body glitter and avoid the shadow of the cross because we're talking Bill Gunn's Ganja & Hess (1973) for its 50th anniversary! Along for the ride is Brother Ghoulish himself, Ryan Kinney, who brings keen insight into the intersection between colonialism, vampirism and religion. Plus: celebrating Marlene Clark's iconic performance, the film's visualization of black bodies, debating the villainy of the titular characters, Gunn's status as a black gay filmmaker in the 70s, and Trace's dis

The Hunger (1983) feat. Jess from Spinsters of Horror
Wipe that sherry off your tit and dust off those human husks in your attic because we're discussing Tony Scott's feature directorial debut: the 1983 lesbian vampire (and David Bowie!) movie The Hunger! Joining us for the conversation is Jess, one half of The Spinsters of Horror! We aren't saying the word "vampire" (something something Egypt and aliens?), but who could care when the movie is such a vibe? We'll refute the claims of "style over substance," while marveling over the central performan

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
Ready for uncomfortable laughter? Welcome to the world of Yorgos Lanthimos and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). Pulling from Euripides' Greek tragedy "Iphigenia in Aulis," this divisive film deftly balances pitch black, absurd comedy (children falling! Uncomfortable sex talks!) with horrifying moral dilemmas and dread (children dying!). Plus: misunderstanding kink and incest, monotone line deliveries, female passivity and male narcissism, bad (?) singing, and all of the times we laughed and
