Possession (1981) feat. Jenn Adams
Put down that carving knife and pull out that tentacle monster because we're heading all the way to divided Berlin to discuss Andrzej Żuławski's loud and proud 1981 masterpiece Possession! Joining us for the conversation is Losers' Club and Psychoanalysis Podcast co-host Jenn Adams! Join us as we sing all the praises for Isabelle Adjani's mesmerizing performance (if you've seen the subway scene, you know why) before trying to pick apart every single bit of emotion that this film exudes. And it's

Videodrome (1983)
Ready for invagination? For the first week of 'Weird Sex Month,' we're returning to Canada to discuss David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983), just in time for its 40th anniversary. Expect body horror courtesy of FX master Rick Baker, communications theory courtesy of Marshall McLuhan, and oversharing about anatomy courtesy of Trace Thurman.

Micro Queers: L.A. AIDS Jabber (1994)
We're dropping a special bonus review of Visual Vengeance's new Blu of 1994 thriller L.A. AIDS Jabber. Up for discussion: is this exploitation film sleazy enough and is it good or bad that queer people don't seem to exist? Plus: low budget filmmaking, changing characters and motivations, Joe's husband's odd personal connection, and how an HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. For more information on HIV and AIDS, connect with the National Institute of Health: HIV 1800-HIV-0440 or via

Micro Queers: Exploited (2022)
Cover your webcams and watch out for tasers because we're talking Jon Abrahams' Exploited (2022). C/W: sexual assault. This indie film features male nudity in two minutes, boys in singlets and Leah FUCKING Pipes running around in lingerie. It's also got about 12 storylines, uneven acting and far too many twists in the surprisingly dark last act. Basically: she's a messy bitch that tries to tackle too much, but Exploited is so explicitly queer, pro-sex and unabashedly wild that we had to cover it

House of Wax (2005)
We are not here to see Paris die but we are here to discuss Jaume Collet-Serra's mean and stylish 2005 remake House of Wax (and yes, we know it has more in common with Tourist Trap)! Wanna see what happens when a really dumb slasher script gets a $40 million budget thrown at it? This is it! Join us as we discuss the film's controversial "See Paris Die!" marketing campaign (and the emotional toil it may have taken on Ms. Hilton) before going all in on this 2005 time capsule that fell in that awkw

Crimson Peak (2015) feat. Greg Mucci
Don't drink the tea and always listen to ghosts because we are crossing the pond to discuss Guillermo del Toro's Gothic Romance film, Crimson Peak (2015). Along for the ride is returning guest Greg Mucci, who loves this film, but can't deny that the love and mystery portions don't always work. Plus: aggressive hand-jobs, Stephen King pull quotes, gorgeous set and costume design, Mimic slander, and did Trace and Joe even watch the movie? Questions? Comments? Snark?

Safe (1995) feat. Andrew Scahill
Why do you think you're sick? Well you better find out because we're discussing Todd Haynes' (not Todd Solondz's) 1995 AIDS allegory Safe! Joining us for the discussion is returning guest Andrew Scahilll! Join us as we discuss Julianne Moore's heartbreaking performance before going all in on the social commentary that Haynes weaves into the film. From the mundane aspects of suburban life to the dangers of joining a cult built around the concept of self-blame, we've got it all! Plus: milk vendett

The Perfection (2019) feat. Mae Shults
Don't adjust your feed: we're redoing Richard Shepard's twisty 2019 secret rape/revenge film, which drew criticism when we covered it in our first year. Joining us is musician and Halloweenies editor Mae Shults for a discussion that veers between heavy, confessional and dumb. We're talking real life sexual assault, pooping our pants and guessing the pop culture moment the film's wig reveal is referencing. Plus: debating the responsibility of art (and other criticisms from reviews), praising the

Surprise! We're celebrating New Year's by unlocking the Patreon vault and releasing our 2019 episode on the gayest slasher film ever made: Hulu's Into the Dark entry "Midnight Kiss" (yes, it's even gayer than Hellbent). Directed by former Horror Queers guest Carter Smith (see our episode on The People Under the Stairs) and written by queer screenwriter Erlingur Thoroddsen (Rift), "Midnight Kiss" follows a group of gay friends and their "fruit fly" as they are stalked by a mysterious killer wear

The Human Santapede feat. Scarred for Life & Brother Ghoulish
We're celebrating the holidays with a dramatic reading of selected excerpts of Adam Millard's 2014 ebook The Human Santapede, which is pretty much exactly what you expect. Featuring the vocal talents of Terry Mesnard and Mary Beth McAndrews of Scarred for Life and Ryan Kinney of Brother Ghoulish's Tomb, strap in for an offensive romp as Krampus tries to destroy Christmas and his nemesis, Santa, by constructing an (In)Human Santapede.
