Panic Room (2002) feat. Cameron Scheetz
Monitor your blood sugar and watch the motion sensor lasers because we're diving into David Fincher's Panic Room (2002), along with Queerty's Cameron Scheetz. We think this David Fincher "popcorn" flick doesn't get enough respect, particularly for queer leads Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. Plus: a scary Dwight Yoakam, Leto's cornrows, slow motion set pieces, and the film's troubled production history which includes...Nicole Kidman?! Questions? Comments? Snark?

The Stepford Wives (1975)
We'll just die if we don't get this recipe, which means we're discussing Bryan Forbes' divisive 1975 chiller The Stepford Wives, itself an adaptation of Ira Levin's 1972 novel(la) of the same name! Join us as we go all in on the male-directed and male-written film that satirizes, well, men. From the Playboy Bunny origins of the Stepford wives to conflicting thoughts on Walter, there's a lot to discuss! Plus: praise for Bobbie (Paula Prentiss), a lesson in female fashion and Raymond Chandler for

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Prepare to shriek because we're talking about Philip Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) for week 3 of 'Doppelgänger and Deception' month. There's a lot to unpack in this technical masterpiece, including the vital early character work, the amazing practical effects, and that fatalistic ending. Plus: directing bukkake, debating Leonard Nimoy's Kibner, the "Me Decade" of the 70s, one of cinema's most devastating deaths, and comparison to the other Body Snatcher remakes. Refe

Micro Queers: The Parenting (2025)
Eat that second gummy and make sure your dick isn't too small for his butt because we're discussing Craig Johnson's comedy horror film The Parenting, which sports one hell of an ensemble cast. Join us as we address the "sketchiness" of the film before fully submitting to its charms. From surprise comedian Brandon Flynn to Brian Cox's hilariously homophobic rants to Parker Posey's spacey AirBnb host, there's no shortage of laughs in this delightful little movie. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connec

Cam (2018) feat. Ariel Powers-Schaub
Finish that whole steak on your fork and keep an eye on that Top 50 list because we're continuing our theme month of doubles and doppelgängers in Daniel Goldhaber's 2018 gem Cam! Tagging in for the conversation is horror author Ariel Powers-Schaub. Join us as we praise Madeline Brewer's fearless lead performance, as well as the exceptionally authentic screenplay written by Isa Mazzei, who drew upon her own experiences as a sex worker when writing the film. Plus: clit-destroying Vibatrons, empha

Black Swan (2010)
Break in your ballet shoes and for God's sake, let this girl climax (!) because we are talking about Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. From Natalie Portman's Oscar winning performance to this stacked cast to its immersive handheld camera, Black Swan is a big fave, even if Nina's passivity can be frustrating to watch. Plus: debate about Thomas' sexual assault, lauding Ryder's profane Beth, sheet cake meltdowns, the desire for perfection, and exquisite mirror work. Reference: Phoenix. “Black Swan” Ha

Micro Queers: Dr. Caligari (1989)
Pull out your sheep trotters and dance with that giant tongue door because we're discussing Stephen Sayadian's 1989 pseudo-sequel Dr. Caligari! Join us as we try to piece together just what is going on in this bizarre little movie. From forced transitions to horny cannibals, we don't think the director of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari could have ever foreseen this coming out of his classic silent film. It's wild. It's weird. We can't quite say we'd recommend it, but we certainly won't forget it! Q

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
Stay away from that sideshow attraction and watch out for murderous sleepwalkers because we're discussing Robert Weine's classic 1920 silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, believed by many to be the first true horror film ever made! Join us as we go on a tour of pre-WWII German history and learn about German Expressionism to see how Caligari came to be. But more importantly: to acknowledge the importance of this seminal film that has influenced countless film directors in the 105 years(!!!) s

Amityville 1992: It's About Time (1992)
Considering Joe's relationship with the "franchise", it's about time...we covered an Amityville film! To coincide with the release of Oz Perkins' The Monkey, we're checking out the "haunted clock" entry of the Amityville "series" and this one is a hoot. C/W: the dog dies Up for discussion: Rusty's "delinquency", VPL, surprisingly gnarly practical FX, a Final Destination-style death, ugly 90s interior decor, and debate if this is a secret Hellraiser film. Plus: Trace plays Real or Fake with 10 Am

Teeth (2007)
Put on your abstinence ring and head over to the local swimming hole because we're discussing Mitchell Lichtenstein's 2007 horror comedy Teeth! Join us as we go all in on this seemingly forgotten relic of the aughts, praising its handling of some admittedly difficult subject matter while masterfully balancing the tone without sacrificing sincerity. Plus: digging into Teeth's mishandled release, its 2024 off-Broadway musical adaptation and wondering why lead actress Jess Weixler never became the
