| PARANORMAN (2012) ft. Kay Lynch // Queer Fears | 14 Jun 2022 | 01:18:55 | |
Did you know queer people could talk to ghosts!? We're continuing our Pride Month coverage talking ParaNorman with Kay Lynch, a family friendly horror film that is a lot more mature than you'd think. We discuss the queerness of the film, explicit and coded, and how the film chooses to introduce some big ideas to children. Also spend time on the exploiting of regional history and how the "witch hunt" of the film is extremely relevant to the queer-political climate today.

| THE COVENANT (2006) // Queer Fears | 07 Jun 2022 | 01:22:22 | |
Happy Pride Month, y'all! This will be our 3rd year of Queer Horror coverage, as we covered the CHUCKY franchise in 2020 and in 2021 got a little more personal with our guests' picks. This year looks to be a critical look at a few campier titles, starting with the 00s fever dream that is The Covenant. The boys discuss how initially criticized for queer-baiting (and being a not good movie lol), the film has somewhat been re-claimed by queer horror fans over the years for its ridiculous camp and homoeroticism. Do Garrett & DeVaughn perhaps give the movie too much credit with DeVaughn's queer theory? Take a hit and pass that spooky shit! New episodes every Tuesday, subscribe to not miss an episode.
