28 Days Later (2002)18 Jun 202502:05:10

Stash that Terry's Chocolate Orange and cover your damn eyes because we're discussing Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later just in time for its 23-years-later sequel!

Join us as we laud the film that popularized fast-moving zombies (yes, yes, we know they're "the infected") and kickstarted the sub-genre's resurgence in the aughts.

Plus: discussions of the film's aesthetic, Alex Garland's self-proclaimed "derivative script," male full frontal nudity, apocalyptic red flags, and *that* freeze frame.

Batman Forever (1995) feat. Kill By Kill11 Jun 202502:09:51

Black leather or green unitard? Whatever your costume of choice, we're wearing it in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever (1995).

Along for the ride are returning champions Kill By Kill, who help us to unpack all of the neon question marks we have about the film, including Two Face's slim backstory, the lack of Sugar and Spice, and whatever the hell Chris O'Donnell is doing.

Plus: high praise for Carrey, plugs for The Cable Guy, horny Dr. Chase, and the easiest Trolley Problem in cinematic history!

Murder Made Fiction: Ed Gein Primer11 Oct 202400:11:27

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 Reeves09 Oct 202402:04:10

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)07 Oct 202400:12:24

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.

Gone Girl (2014)02 Oct 202402:33:30

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, there's no shortage of things to discuss in this densely plotted film.

Plus: Carrie Coon (and Missi Pyle!) worship, atrocious accent attempts, thoughts on the Outback Steakhouse, treasure hunts and world class vaginas.

Micro Queers: Hauntology (2024)30 Sep 202400:24:15

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)25 Sep 202402:01:39

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. This is a gay masterpiece, people!

Pretty Little Liars S02: Summer School (2024)20 Sep 202400:40:06

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 names, this season's MVPs and that/those killer reveal(s).

Redux: Jennifer's Body (2009) feat. Mae Shults18 Sep 202402:59:51

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 proper deep dive into the film's production history (our format has changed a bit since we discussed it way back in 2019), including a lengthy conversation about the public shaming Megan Fox endured after she made some comments about Michael Bay.

Plus: script leaks, "Twilight for boys," a lesson in polyamory, wetties, afterbirth prom dresses and so much more. When all is said and done, we can finally cross out Jennifer's Body!

The Girl With All The Gifts (2016) feat. Carolyn Mauricette11 Sep 202401:58:58

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)09 Sep 202400:18:50

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!)

Beetlejuice (1988)04 Sep 202402:16:51

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.

Micro Queers: Ganymede (2024)02 Sep 202400:26:13

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 pros outweigh the cons.

CW: Suicide, self-harm.

Critters (1986)28 Aug 202401:46:46

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-so-bratty-Brad (Scott Grimes), bowling alley shenanigans and one absolutely hilarious use of subtitles.

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 Scary21 Aug 202402:13:05

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 and con), Ducournau's visceral sound design, the film's use of dance & musicality, and baby body horror.

Micro Queers: Doctor Jekyll (2023)19 Aug 202400:17:21

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 Chambers14 Aug 202401:35:45

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 comes to sexual assault, there's no shortage of things to discuss.

Need a refresher on Flesh for Frankenstein? Listen to our episode on it right here!

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014) feat. Abby Olcese14 May 202501:51:59

Joining us on the skateboard into Bad City is writer Abby Olcese, who appreciates the mood of this black and white Iranian Western vampire film.

Santa Sangre (1989)31 Jul 202401:59:27

Pull that literal python out of your pants and get ready for the mime of your life because we're attending the Circo del Gringo to discuss Alejandro Jodorowsky's surrealist masterpiece Santa Sangre!

Join us as we offer up a primer on Jodorowksy before diving into this gorgeous, often touching film. From Fenix's (Axel Jodorowsky) childhoood trauma to his mother Concha's (Blanca Guerra) penchant for psychic arm control, this movie has it all!

Plus: detachable ears, an extravagant elephant funeral, acidic genital maimings, behind-the-scenes testicle-grabbings and lots and lots of chickens.

Porno Queers: Scared Stiff 2: The Amityville Whore (2019)26 Jul 202400:36:01

Explicit Content Warning - Don't let Trace's mom listen to this!

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of The Amityville Horror, we're talking about our favorite scenes and performers in Naked Sword's 2019 porn parody Scared Stiff 2: The Amityville Whore. (And no, you don't need to have seen the first film)

Although the sex is pretty vanilla and the film is far too long (3 hours?!), we have to admit: this film is both surprisingly funny and occasionally hot.

The Haunting (1999) feat. Kill By Kill24 Jul 202401:53:16

Answer that insomnia study ad and beware of griffins because we are checking back into Hill House for our second Jan de Bont film in as many weeks: 1999's "don't call it a remake," The Haunting.

Joining us for an episode that immediately goes off the rails and into angry rant territory are five-time returning champions, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe of Kill By Kill podcast.

We have *lots* of questions: where's the bisexuality? Why is the body count so low? How much should Steven Spielberg be blamed? If Crain is part of the house, then why isn't he everywhere? Oh, and who the hell called Eleanor in the first place?!

Poor Lili Taylor...and poor us!

Twister (1996) feat. Edison Skinner17 Jul 202402:06:45

Watch out for that cow and get ready for "intense depiction of very bad weather" because we're discussing Jan de Bont's 1996 effects extravaganza Twister! Tagging in for the conversation is Edison Skinner, the co-host of the Talk Movie to Me podcast!

Join us as we do a deep dive into this film's very troubled production history before marveling at the sheer movie magic on display. From the computer-generated twisters (which still hold up!) to extensive practical effects, it's a true marvel of a film.

Plus: Pepsi product placement, a chode of an F-5 tornado, and plenty of love for Jami Gertz's Dr. Melissa Reeves.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)10 Jul 202402:27:55

Ready for an all-night sexual odyssey? We're going LONG on Stanley Kubrick's final masterpiece, Eyes Wide Shut (1999) which stars then real-life Hollywood A-list couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

Trace has a lengthy production history for this Guinness Record-holding film, which appears to be making fun of Cruise's own stardom and sexuality?

Plus: high praise for Kidman's two confession scenes, selling the film on sex, the cast that could have been, secret societies on and off screen, and talk of Kubrick "edging" the audience for 2.5 hours.
