Ep 48Alien: Covenant (2017) feat. Drew Dietsch
EIt's time to hop aboard the Covenant and head over to Origae-6....oops! We mean this random mystery planet that didn't show up on any of our scans! But hey, it's probably fine, right? Joining us for our colonization mission is Drew Dietsch, co-host of the GenreVision and Fin Flicks podcasts!After kicking things off with a debate on who will work the hole and who will do the fingering, the trio dive into the long and convoluted history of how Prometheus led to Alien: Covenant. Why does it feel like two films? Why is the CGI so bad? Why can we not tell any of these characters apart? Why does the movie think we will feel bad about their deaths if their spouses do? We will try to answer these questions in what is admittedly a super-sized episode, but hey, at least it's pretty.And if there's one thing that's certain, it's that Ridley Scott needs to shut the fuck up.

Ep 47Interview With The Vampire (1994)
EWith the start of November's cold weather, Trace and Joe head south to Mississippi to visit our favorite bickering gay couple: Louis and Lestat and their ADORABLE adopted daughter, Claudia. That's right, we're back in vampire territory as we tackle Neil Jordan's infamous adaptation of the iconic first novel in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles just in time for its 25th anniversary!This movie is super duper gay (for 1994). The boys ponder the film's weird development cycle, including bizarre casting decisions (Julian Sands? Cher?!), question whether Rice ruffled studio feathers and lament Pitt's snooze-inducing performance. Joe and Trace bat heads over Cruise, but both are head over heels for Kirsten Dunst, which inspires a lengthy diatribe about her lack of recognition!Also up for discussion: Trace's dislike of long hair on men, the "Britishness" of Stephen Rea, prostitute tits, Letterboxd reviews of the Theatre des Vampires, and the real reason that Louis is so appealing (a HUGE dick).Questions?

Ep 46A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) LIVE! feat. Mark Patton, Robert Rusler & Kim Myers
EYou've asked and you've asked and you've asked! The boys are finally covering A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, but there's a catch: it's LIVE! As part of Fantastic Fest's queer horror sidebar (which included the Texas Premiere of the documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street and a drag performance by Peaches Christ), the boys were fortunate enough to discuss NOES 2 with the film's stars Mark Patton (Jesse), Robert Rusler (Grady) and Kim Myers (Lisa)!In a podcast first, this episode comes to you completely uncut (like all the best things in life). Delight in the fact that Patton calls Trace on his bullshit in the first 5 minutes of the recording and completely derails the intended plan for the episode (in a good way, though!)Also, Patton gives his thoughts on Wes Craven, Rusler reminisces about doing cocaine with Grace Jones, Myers kick-starts a rendition of "Happy Birthday to You" for Patton (because hey, this recording took place on his birthday!) and Joe keeps his cool throughout all of it.Questions?

EHappy Halloween, fellow Horror Queers! Here we are: the final week of our eight-week Camp Marathon! We're singing our hearts out, bathing in glitter and snorting just a *touch* of cocaine with Brian De Palma's musical rock opera horror film Phantom of the Paradise!

Ep 44House on Haunted Hill (1999)
EAs the boys near the end of their eight-week camp marathon, they make a return trip to the halls of Dark Castle Entertainment (see previous episode on Orphan) to check into the Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally Insane. That's right, they're celebrating the 20th anniversary of William Malone's remake of House on Haunted Hill!Join them as they discuss a remake that's better than it has any right to be (even if it doesn't seem to know what a "house" is), praise the glorious diva perfection that is Famke Janssen and marvel at Ali Larter's ability to connect wires and turn on lights!Oh! They need some help settling a debate: what would one call the fate that befalls Schechter (Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Max Perlich) in the film?Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 43The People Under The Stairs (1991) feat. Carter Smith
EAs the Camp marathon barrels on, Trace and Joe are joined by director Carter Smith to tackle our SECOND Wes Craven film in six weeks. The vibe is a little more reverent this time as the trio discusses the origin story of Craven's twisted idea, why the gentrification storyline feels more relevant now than ever and how adept the late director is at balancing the film's mix of tones.It's not all serious, though! Trace goes gaga for Wendy Robie's Mommy, Carter and Joe talk leather looks and the trio disagrees on whether or not the relationship between the couple (brother/sister) is sexual. Plus: Where does People rank in Craven's oeuvre?In this week's game: Update the tagline, poster or trailer for a 2019 audience.Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 42The Perfection (2019)
EIn order to accommodate our hectic TIFF & Fantastic Fest schedules, enjoy this Patreon-exclusive discussion on one of our favorite films of the year: Netflix's The Perfection! Prepare yourself for a spoiler-filled discussion on an extremely queer, extremely unpredictable and extremely awesome film. There aren't really any words to describe it, so imagine the premise of Black Swan, Single White Female, Outbreak, Misery, Oldboy and The Handmaiden are all thrown in a blender. Then add the narrative surprises of films like Martyrs and Funny Games where you have no idea what kind of film you're watching. That's The Perfection!In short, it's a perfect fit for our camp marathon!Let us know what you thought of the film, which is bound to be on many horror fans' top 10 lists by the year's end.Questions?

Ep 41I Know Who Killed Me (2007) feat. Anthony Hudson
EThe boys continue their camp marathon with one of their most celebrated films yet: LiLo's Razzie-winning, F CinemaScore-awarded, critical and commercial bomb I Know Who Killed Me!Is it Hitchcock? Is it De Palma? Is it giallo? Who can say?! Thankfully we have Gaylords of Darkness co-host Anthony Hudson here to help us unpack all of the stripper-y goodness.Trace walks us through the car wreck of Lohan’s career, Joe repeatedly mispronounces “Dina”, and the trio obsess over Jennifer Tilly’s possum character and how a Disney animated version of the film would play out.Plus: we try to unpack the symbolism of the film's signature blue/red colour scheme, chastise the film's apparently humourless set, and recast Ormond with Celine Dion. Also: Joe adds to his Amazon Christmas Wishlist and Trace tries out his impressions of both Lohan AND Katherine Heigl? We may have gone crazy...Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 40Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995) feat. Stephanie Crawford
ESomeone tell Vilmer that we’re on the way with pizza (seriously, tell him!), because we’re discussing the comedy masterpiece Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, directed by a bunch of hacks the co-writer of the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: Kim Henkel! Joining us is Stephanie Crawford, the co-host of the Screamcast podcast!In this episode, we shower Darla (Tonie Perensky) with praise and label Leatherface the tortured drag queen that he is. Is the film ahead of its time? Or is it just stupid? You tell us!Join us as we ask the ultimate question: why does no one get killed with a chainsaw in a movie titled Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Instead, we’ve got trash bags as jump scares, killer planes, remote control legs, a greasy Matthew McConaughey and the Illuminati!

Ep 39Cursed (2005) feat. Tim O'Leary
EThe Horror Queers eight-week camp marathon continues as Joe and Trace journey to Hollywood (barely escaping a car wreck on Mulholland Drive) to visit the hippest new night club since Planet Hollywood: Tinsel. That's right, they're discussing Wes Craven's Cursed! Joining them is Tim O'Leary, creator of the upcoming queer web series DEMONHUNTR! They will need all the help they can get to figure out just what this cobbled-together Frankenstein's monster of a film is trying to do.In what seems to be an ongoing trend with these campy movies, the boys discuss the very troubled production for Cursed at length, and try to determine just what the fuck Bob Weinstein was thinking when he demanded the script be re-written when 90% of the film had already been shot.No one, save for the always reliable Judy Greer, is having any fun in this movie. Kevin Williamson's script reads as if he was trying to one-up Scream 3's Hollywood satire (he fails). Poor Christina Ricci is handed some of the worst dialogue you'll ever hear ("Everybody's cursed, Jimmy. It's called life.").But hey, it's not all bad! Topics for discussion include Milo Ventimiglia's homo-repressed bully Bo, a werewolf giving Christina Ricci the middle finger and the longest plot summary ever. Oh, and man butts and cock socks.

Ep 38Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) feat. Alice Collins
EThe Horror Queers are getting a head start on Friday the 13th celebrations with a visit to Crystal Lake in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday! Joe and Trace are joined by fellow Bloody Disgusting columnist Alice Collins in an episode that might as well be called E! True Hollywood Story: Jason Goes to Hell. Together, they will try to do the impossible: make sense of a film that makes absolutely no sense.Topics up for discussion are little girls in pink dresses sticking a hot dog through a donut, queer leather-daddy shaving fetishes, sensual hand-stroking and crazy-impressive gore effects. In a surprising twist, Joe admits to loving the film (despite not being a fan of the franchise), Trace talks about how screenwriters Dean Lorey and Jay Huguely stole the plot of the film from a story he wrote in the first grade and Alice spills the tea on most of the film's production troubles.Oh! Did they mention that this episode starts off an eight-week marathon of campy horror films? Because it does! So be prepared for seven more weeks of unintentionally funny horror films, most of which have very, very troubled production histories.Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 37IT: Chapter One (2017) feat. Michael Roffman
EIn an episode almost as long as its source material, the boys kick off Stephen King week with a trip to Derry alongside resident expert Michael Roffman (Editor-In-Chief of Consequence of Sound and co-host of The Losers Club podcast).EVERYTHING is on the table: Coming of age narratives, bad CGI, the appeal of dancing clowns, as well as Derry and Pennywise as stand-ins for Reagan-era Conservatism. Also, a discussion of whether adults are the true villains, the most effective set pieces and an obligatory queer reading of Richie and Eddie.Throw in Michael's analysis of Ariana Grande's contribution to music, the group's analysis of why a wave of 90s nostalgia is long overdue, and Trace's passionate response to hysterical reactions on the Internet. Plus: the episode runs long because we also sneak in an extended comparison to Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark!Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 36The Loved Ones (2009) feat. Dirty Little Horror
EThe boys are having their first foursome as they discuss Sean Byrne's drill-happy 2009 film The Loved Ones with the hosts of Dirty Little Horror Podcast! Self-proclaimed Britney Spears enthusiast Charles Rockhill and resident Australian Christopher Downs crash Joe and Trace's party to weigh in on the film's queer icon (and completely cuckoo bananas psychopath), Lola (Robin McLeavy).Join the boys as they travel Down Under so that Chris can explain Australian concepts that are foreign to North Americans (P Plates, anyone?), Trace gets a lesson in consent and Joe defines cultural cringe and discusses the film's kitchen sink approach to storytelling.

Ep 35Good Manners (2017)
EJoe and Trace travel to Brazil to check in on expectant mother Ana and her nanny/housekeeper Clara in Marco Dutra and Juliana Rojas' dark fairytale festival fave. Trace finds a couple of surprisingly conservative readings regarding abortion and lesbianism in this pregnancy horror film. The pair discuss the film's critical reception and how that ties into the film's "two movies in one" structure, Joe tackles the film's subtle race critique and ribs Trace about the film's CGI and homage to Frankenstein.Plus: in one of the longest plot recaps in the show's history, Trace somehow finds a way to reference The Lizzie McGuire movie AGAIN and Joe butchers yet another round of actor names.

Ep 34Tragedy Girls (2017) feat. Dani Ryan
EAfter so many months, the boys are ready to embrace facts: they are social media darlings and the world needs to know it! With Dani Ryan along for the ride, the trio "Like and Fave" Tyler MacIntyre's astute meta-comedy about two aspiring serial (or is it spree?) killers on the cusp of graduating high school with a body count.Up for discussion: Are the girls on equal footing? Are they in love with each other? And why do people dislike these girls? Also: Trace works on his transitions between segments, he and Dani are hot for Josh Hutcherson (and why everyone should be watching Hulu’s Future Man), and Joe elaborates on why Craig Robinson’s character doesn’t work for him.Oh, and the trio discuss the logistics of being "buttholed to death.”Questions?

Ep 33Audition (1999)
EKiri Kiri Kiri! The boys are officially declaring August Femme Fatale Month, which means they'll be tackling a bunch of films with some killer ladies (aka Trace's favorite type of character)! First up is Asami Yamazaki in Takashi Miike's controversial 1999 film, Audition! That's right, it's another Japanese film, which means you can laugh along (or take a shot) every time Joe mispronounces a character's name!Join Joe and Trace as they discuss the misogynistic (douchebag protagonist, objectification of women) and feminist (taking down the patriarchy, Asami as an avenging angel) elements of the film, BDSM, the secret queer relationship that no one talks about and the beautiful gore that fills the film's final act. Finally, they take the film's revelatory flashback to task for not making any sense whatsoever!Oh, and Joe is somehow able to liken the film to Bring it On. Trigger Warning: The dog DOES die in this movie, but it's off-screen. You do see its corpse, though.This Week's Game: If forced to part ways with a body part, which body part would it be.Questions?

Ep 32ParaNorman (2012) feat. Brenna Clarke Gray
EThe boys fall through the 3D printer as they tackle their very first stop-motion animated family film. Thankfully they have help from Brenna Clarke Gray, the co-host of Joe's other podcast - Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr, which focuses on Young Adult literature adaptations.Brenna's vast range of experiences (English professor, mother, former voice actor, lover of Hilary Duff and hater of horror films) provides no shortage of amusing stories and anecdotes as the trio unpack the film.Topics include an unexpected queer character, homages to classic horror films, sequences that made us tear up, ParaNorman's unexpected anti-police stance and LAIKA's lengthy production process.

Ep 31Orphan (2009) feat. Sade Sellers
EJoe and Trace traverse the spooky halls of Dark Castle Entertainment to discuss Jaume Collet-Serra's (The Shallows, House of Wax) creepy-kid movie Orphan! Joining them on their tour is Sade Sellers, one of the co-hosts of the Afro Horror Podcast! Her expertise on black horror cinema proves crucial when the boys analyze Sister Abigail (C.C.H. Pounder)'s brutal death by hammer!Other topics on the table includes the film's obscenely long 123-minute runtime, Trace's thoughts on Taissa Farmiga's acting abilities (or lack thereof) and Joe's fight for deaf actors' rights.Also: Why is Peter Sarsgaard's character the absolute worst? Why doesn't Character Actress Margo Martindale believe anything Vera Farmiga says? And what is Asia Argento's secret connection to the film?Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 30In the Flesh (2013) feat. David Opie
EThe boys are jumping across the pond this week to meet up with journalist David Opie to discuss the first season series of Britain's queer zombie show In the Flesh! Feeling intimidated be a whole season series of TV? Never fear! Because it's British, it's only three episodes long! And it's available on Amazon Prime and Hulu!Join them as they discuss zombies as a metaphor for queerness and the absolute brilliance of Emily Bevan's rebellious Amy. Plus, they condemn the 2016 film The Cure for completely ripping off In the Flesh's premise.And in one of their more bizarre tangents: a debate over baked goods!Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 29Scream: Resurrection (2019)
ESPOILER ALERT: We are spoiling the entire six episodes, but as Joe says in the intro, it is SO BAD that we don't recommend anyone watch. Just listen to us instead.In this special episode, the boys swing by Atlanta to check the latest TV iteration of Ghostface and the Scream franchise. Alas the "Deadfast Club" proves to be as uninspired as their attempts at metatextuality. This series has virtually nothing to offer, only bad writing, bad acting, terrible pacing, and lacklustre kills. Plus: the killer reveal is one of the most offensive insults to horror fans in quite some time.This Week's Game: Where does the Scream franchise go from here?If you like what you hear, please support the boys on Patreon.Questions?

Ep 28Lake Placid (1999) feat. Brian Particelli
EFor the final entry in the Summer of Franchises, the boys grab Brian Particelli for a camping weekend at Black Lake. There they discover misogyny, bears and a profane Betty White…because they are firmly ensconced in a rom-com masquerading as a creature feature, written by none other than David E. Kelley.The boys attempt to break down the comedy to scares ratio (1:0), play the Hollywood spouse game (because Brian knows EVERYTHING) and Joe even tries out a few bad impersonations. Also on the menu: a queer reading of Hector & Hank, a deep appreciation of Bridget Fonda aka “Willie”, swapping Pullman for Paxton and an inability to keep any of the characters’ names straight.This Week's Game: 2 rounds!

Ep 27Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight (1995) feat. Sarah-Tai Black
EHello Kiddies! The Horror Queers are joined by Tales from the Crypt expert Sarah-Tai Black to discuss the booby-filled 1995 banger Demon Knight! In what may be their most tangent-filled episode yet, they not only code Billy Zane's Collector as gay and Jada Pinkett's Jeryline (a name that no character pronounces the same way) as a "soft butch" lesbian, but they also proclaim the queer icon status of the Crypt Keeper!Trace tries to decipher the rules of the demons (they're so contradictory!). Sarah-Tai gets a Bible study lesson. And Joe is dumbfounded by Sarah-Tai's story of how Alan Cumming once bullied her at a roller rink (and a thong-clad Anna Paquin just stood there and let it happen).Lastly, Joe cribs a lot of his supposed "knowledge" of Demon Knight from this wonderful article written by Stephanie Crawford.

Ep 26Ginger Snaps (2000) feat. Ariel Fisher
EIt’s a maple leaf takeover! Just in time for Canada Day, Joe stacks the pod with both a Canadian film and a Canadian guest, Ariel Fisher, for another gang-up on Trace. The trio venture into the wilds of Toronto suburbia for a discussion of lycanthropy, the “horrors” of menstruation and how Katharine Isabelle can help facilitate the coming out process.Also up for grabs: Joe and Trace’s inability to do basic math, a discussion of feminine hygiene products, the struggles John Fawcett's production faced due to Columbine, and Trace’s true feelings about Canada.Plus - naturally - a discussion of werewolf transformations that devolves into the usual bathroom humor that you’ve come to expect. At least Ariel is around to class up the joint!Weekly Game: the trio pitch a quintessential (body) horror film that captures the experience of being in your 20s.Questions? Comments? Snark?

EIn celebration of the second week of the Summer of Franchises, Joe, Trace and special guest Chris Eggertsen are headed to Romania…er…”Hollywood” to check out the fifth Chucky film.Chris and Joe gang up on Trace in a heated argument about what constitutes the “Big” horror franchises; they discuss out and proud gay director Don Mancini’s role shepherding the franchise for 30+ years, and why Jennifer Tilly’s autobiography should be called “Gaslighting.”Also on the table: pronunciations of “Redman,” a supersized overview of S Club 7’s history and, naturally, a detailed discussion of the titular “seed”…in all of its various forms.Weekly Game: the boys speculate which celebrity Chucky would murder.Questions?

NOS4A2 (Patreon Clip)
trailerEWe're hopping in a 1938 Rolls Royce Wraith and driving to Christmasland so that we can cover the first three episodes of AMC's underwhelming adaptation of Joe Hill's (aka Stephen King's son) exceptional novel NOS4A2 (that's pronounced "nosferatu" for the uninitiated). Why would you stretch 100 of the novel's 700 pages into a 10-episode prequel season? Does anyone care about Vic (Ashleigh Cummings) and her shitty parents? No? That's pretty bad when she's supposed to be the protagonist of the show!It's not all bad, though. Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto) is proving to be a formidable foe and a unique Hocus Pocus-y villain. The pointy-toothed demon children are suitable creepy. And expect lots of comparisons to the book from Trace and a few "I didn't read the book so I don't care" reactions from Joe!Will this show get better as the season goes on? We don't know, but we can't say we're dying to find out.For the full episode, subscribe to our Patreon page today! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 24Final Destination (2000) feat. Terry Mesnard
EOur Summer of Franchises begins by knocking on Death's door with the 2000 pseudo-slasher Final Destination! Joined by Gayly Dreadful's Terry Mesnard, the boys look at the film that boasts a queer screenwriter (Jeffrey Reddick) and several gruesome Rube Goldberg-y deaths (and one surprise bus attack).Join them as they debate the ridiculousness of the name "Clear Rivers," the fact that the FBI agents are the worst and why straight guys like to poop together (seriously, why is this movie so poop-obsessed?).Is a queer screenwriter not queer enough for you? Never fear! Joe has you covered with his theory about Carter's repressed homosexuality. Plus, his secret dislike for Jaws comes out!Weekly Game: the boys try to come up with their own convoluted deaths.Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 23Knife + Heart (2018)
EDespite the ordeal they suffered last time, Joe and Trace travel back to France to catch the premiere of Homocidal, the queer porno that everyone is DYING to be in! Although Trace confesses he's not a huge Giallo person (and the boys fully expect to receive hate mail from fans), Yann Gonzalez's tale of a switchblade dildo wielding, gimp-mask wearing killer and the intrepid lesbian porn director on his trail is a queer horror classic - and Trace's pull-quote on the Blu-ray confirms it!The boys praise the film's gritty, lurid and beautiful 70s aesthetic, discuss the political ramifications of inherently queer horror and wade through the weird saggy middle section with the guy who has a chicken hand.Plus: Joe and Trace make up their porn names!Questions?

For the first Patreon exclusive episode of June, the boys are discussing Blumhouse's latest horror film starring Octavia Spencer, Luke Evans and just a quick glimpse of peen.You should also prepare for a catfight as Joe and Trace do NOT agree on this film. Trace is completely entertained, calling the film a blast while Joe wishes Ma had taken some of the gumption of its last 1/3 and distributed it throughout the runtime.Like what you hear?

Ep 22Otto; Or Up With Dead People (2008) feat. Kyle Turner
EThere's a queer zombie uprising in Berlin and the boys, plus special guest Kyle Turner, are on the case. The trio tackle Canadian director Bruce LaBruce's challenging and subversive mainstream genre effort with a discussion on camp, the distinction between art cinema & porn, and whether or not the titular Otto is a melancholic young gay man or an actual zombie.This episode is a must for any aspiring queer media scholar (Kyle knows his shit!), but it's not all serious: we also discuss Gaga's Met Gala lewk, CockyBoys porn and our reactions to the erect penis fucking a gaping chest wound.Plus: Kyle takes over the game, challenging Trace and Joe to identify the creature or animal that best represents them in bed.

Ep 21The Brood (1979)
EJoe drags Trace back to Canada-land to re-visit David Cronenberg's oeuvre with The Brood, an incredibly light-hearted movie about a woman who births deformed killer dwarves through an external womb. This week, Joe goes through a lot. Not only does he imagine what his life would be like if David Cronenberg and David Lynch were his two daddies, but he also managed to stick his finger in an electrical socket before the recording began, thereby making his audio sound all staticky.Trace gets off a bit easier as he is forced to contemplate just what exactly a "milk and orange juice drawer" is, second guess himself on Dr. Raglan's sexual orientation and deal with his dogs taking over his recording studio.It's a fun time for everyone!Questions?

Ep 20Calvaire (2004)
EThe boys are staying international this week, flying over to France to discuss Calvaire (The Ordeal), Fabrice Du Welz's contribution to the New French Extremity movement of the 2000s. Could they have discussed High Tension? Sure, but what fun would it be to make you watch a movie you've already seen?Topics at hand are the film's bestiality set piece, a rather intense (and rare) scene of male-on-male rape, modern-day crucifixions, kooky impromptu polka dances and the political origins of the New French Extremity movement.On a lighter note: Trace struggles to use his tongue properly in a poor attempt at a French accent, Joe declares the film's protagonist to be "a hole" and they both attempt to decipher what an American remake would look like.Questions?

Ep 19Fatal Frame (2014) feat. Jenny Nulf
EThe Horror Queers are playing their way into the world of video game adaptations with the 2014 film Fatal Frame. "What? They made a movie out of Fatal Frame????", you ask? They most certainly did! Unfortunately, it never saw a North American release. Lucky for us (and you), it's streaming for free on YouTube! Sure, it is more of an adaptation of the video game franchise's themes than its plot, but the Camera Obscura does make a cameo! Is this the best video game movie ever made? Depending on whether or not you see Pokémon: Detective Pikachu this weekend, maybe!Joining the boys to discuss this atmospheric tale of Japanese lesbians, ghosts and cursed photograph (the "fatal frame," if you will) is Jenny Nulf, the Director of Programming for the Austin Asian American Film Festival! Her knowledge of Japanese culture and creepy ghost girls brings a necessary outside perspective to the episode.Laugh along as Joe butchers every single name (seriously, he gets them wrong even after he's been corrected), takes a pot shot at Madonna(!) and does some sort of ga(y)mer impersonation (discussing video games isn't a good look for Joe). Plus, Trace commandeers the weekly game (invoking Joe's wrath), the group discusses the film's murky stance on lesbianism and also try to figure out why it has 17(ish) endings.Questions? Comments?

Ep 18The Wicker Man (2006) feat. Cap Blackard
ENot the bees! Not the bees! That's right, the Horror Queers are discussing Neil LaBute's camptastic trashterpiece The Wicker Man, and they are joined by Consequence of Sound's Cap Blackard! Join the threesome as they discuss Nicolas Cage's "performance," the constant punching of women and the prospect of a remake entitled The Wicker Butt. Plus, Cap graces the boys with her knowledge of Robin Hardy's original film and its long-delayed sequel, The Wicker Tree.It's not all fun and games, however. Any discussions of the film come with the topic of misogyny that LaBute incorporated into his script. Does this film hate women? Listen and find out!Questions? Comments? Snark?

Ep 17Cemetery Man (1994)
EJoe and Trace head abroad to Italy to walk Rupert Everett through his existential crisis in Michele Soavi's bizarro 1994 (or is it 1996?) zombie horror comedy. While both boys struggle with the bad dubbing, Joe is more appreciative of the film's mix of dry wit, philosophy and art history references than Trace, who reluctantly becomes more appreciative of the comedy as the episode progresses.Along the way, they discuss queer trailblazer Rupert Everett's fall from leading man status, the film's comic origins and reference Brandon Routh A LOT. Finally, the sexist nature of the film's online reviews prompts Trace to make a listener request that should turn Twitter into an R-rated raunchfest for the next week.Questions? Comments? Snark?

The Curse of La Llorona (Patreon Clip)
trailerEIn the second Patreon exclusive episode of April, the boys discuss the sixth instalment of The Conjuring franchise...or is it a random stand-alone since Warner Brothers has seemingly walked back on that designation?There's also discussion of the shoddy plotting, the film's treatment of POC and why Linda Cardellini is great, despite being the white lead in a bland appropriated story that deserved (and would have been better served with) a Mexican actress. Come for the dressing down of the film (Joe is extra profane) and stay for Trace's ranking of The Conjuring vs the Insidious franchises and where we think Annabelle Comes Home and The Conjuring 3 will go.This episode is for patrons only!

Ep 16Psycho 2 (1983) feat. Michael Varrati
EAfter 23 years of driving, the boys pick up Dead For Filth's multi-hyphenate Michael Varrati en route to a charming motel run by Anthony Perkins' Norman Bates. The trio discuss the film's categorization as a long in-development sequel, a slasher released during the height of the 80s craze and a cash grab.Along the way they suggest that Meg Tilly's tough, but thankless "tofu" role as Mary is a mirror image of Norman and propose that Psycho 2 succeeds where Halloween (2018) fails by truly investigating grief and trauma.Come for the ridiculous number of sidebar references/jokes about Psycho 3 and stay for the game, which asks Michael and Trace to cast a sequel to Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake. Who does Trace name drop that irks Joe so much that Trace is banished to the corner? You'll have to listen to find out! Questions? Comments? Snark?

EWho would have ever thought a movie about a killer mirror could actually be A) good and B) scary? That's right, the boys are discussing Mike Flanagan's 2014 film Oculus! Join Joe and Trace as they gush (pun intended) over Flanagan's oeuvre and discuss the role a sibling (or siblings) can play in the coming-out process.Plus, the boys decide which killer mirror movie is better: Oculus or Alexandre Aja's Mirrors? Hint: it's not the one with Kiefer Sutherland.We've even got some homework for our more devoted listeners this week!1) Share your sibling's (or siblings') role(s) in your coming-out story.2) Send us your Oculus sequel ideas.3) And for those of you who don't like Oculus or find it difficult to relate to the characters: Why?Questions?

Pet Sematary (Patreon Clip)
trailerEIn the first Patreon exclusive episode of April, the boys discuss whether a personal connection to the material is necessary to grasp the horror, Joe proposes that the material is "grief for dummies" and Trace goes to bat for Amy Seimetz's performance as Rachel.Other topics on the table: can this new film stand on its own feet, or is it doomed to suffer comparisons to previous iterations? How much of a deal breaker is that grim ending? And who is screenwriter Jeff Buhler fucking to grab all of these high profile projects?This episode is for patrons only!
