Horror Queers

Grab your clear raincoat, your overnight bag and your reservation at Dorsia! The boys, along with special guest Eric Charmelo (co-creator/showrunner of The CW's Ringer and co-screenwriter of The Perfection) time travel back to the 80s to revisit Mary Harron's masterful satire of Wall Street capitalism and sociopathy just in time for its 20th anniversary.The threesome collectively lose our memory recall (who is the star of this movie? What is the name of the film Bale and Mathis co-starred in later? What is Eric's social media handle?), but find plenty of praise for Bale, Witherspoon, the soundtrack and Harron's writing/direction. Also: debates about why certain characters survive, whether Bateman is homophobic (or just a control freak) and a book vs film comparison of the notorious threesome murder sequence.Plus: Rabbit hole tangents about food porn, the benefits of charcoal, gunkata and why you shouldn’t use the word “asshole” during sex.Questions?

Who's ready for a few good pranks?The boys hit the Canadian West Coast for a weekend retreat at the palatial island home of their Vassar friend, Muffy St. John , but the weekend doesn't go quite as planned. There are secret abortion cassettes, utterly unfathomable sex positions and some of the worst 80s fashion we've ever seen. Oh...and murder.There's something unusual about this late entry slasher and it's not just that actor Griffin O'Neal "Rebecca Gayhearted" (or is it "Brandied"?) a member of the Coppola family. There's also a secret alternative ending, a subtle queer read and no shortage of logistical questions about the plot. Plus: waterskiing, nurse shoes, and plenty of comparisons to the Friday the 13th franchise...including the game?!Questions? Comments? Snark?

We're heading over to New York City (or is it Los Angeles?) to party it up with a vampiric Grace Jones in Richard Wenk's 1986 comedy horror film Vamp! Riding shotgun is Cecil Baldwin, the narrator of Welcome to Night Vale!Join us as Cecil educates us on the goings-on of 1980s New York City, which is not actually filled with green and magenta lighting. We finally make our way to the emptiest strip club ever: the aptly named "After Dark Club". While there, we chat with Dedee Pfeiffer (sister of Michelle) before being seduced by a Kabuki'd out Grace Jones and her hypnotic performance art striptease.We also try to label all of the films Vamp references/inspires (Adventures in Babysitting, The Warriors, Fright Night, etc.), while commending the film for not making Gedde Watanabe's Duncan a racist stereotype (even if the movie does forget about him after the first act).Oh, and does Trace make yet another Lizzie McGuire connection? You betcha!Questions? Comments? Snark?

In their attempt at social distancing, the boys abandon the city and head deep into the woods. Along for the ride is Girls, Guts & Giallo's Annie Rose Malamet, who schools the boys on all things punk (and Lisa Frank) so that they can understand the annoying teens in Jenn Wexler's The Ranger.Are you ready for two films in one? On one hand, we've got an 80s slasher throwback featuring punks vs authoritarians. On the other hand, we've got a (secret?) rape/revenge with lead character Chelsea (Chloë Levine) potentially being abused by her uncle (veteran director Larry Fessenden) or the titular Ranger...or both.Up for discussion: what drug are these kids doing? What's up with the wolf symbolism? Why does the film's pacing suffer when the kills begin? And why doesn't the film lean harder into punk?Finally: Trace opens up about an unsettling encounter tied to the film that initiates a frank discussion about film festival reviews, as well as the relationship between directors, critics and the production of art.Questions?

Happy (early) Friday the 13th, y'all! We're celebrating the holiday with a return trip to space (following our episode on Hellraiser: Bloodline last month) with a festive viewing of the much-maligned Jason X.Join us as we say hello to a cameo-ing David Cronenberg before traveling 4.55 centuries into the future to board the vessel Grendel. While aboard, we will lament the outlawing of hockey in 2024, ponder the "Microsoft Conflict" and cheer on Janessa (Melyssa Ade) as she earns some sextra credit by employing some some super tame nipple play. Also, why is UberJason only in the last 14 minutes of this 87-minute movie? Why are the sets of this $11 million-budgeted movie derivative of the 1999 Disney Channel Original movie Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century? Did Harry Manfredini rip off John Williams' Raiders of the Lost Ark score for his "Birth of the UberJason" track? And will Trace find yet another way to bring up The Lizzie McGuire Movie? (The answer is yes.)But hey, it's not all bad! There's still that super clever VR sequence in the third act, Lisa Ryder's delightfully kooky android KM-14 and a truly awesome kill involving liquid nitrogen and a scantily clad scientist's head (seriously, why are all of these female scientists baring their stomachs?).Questions?

The boys don their mullets and leather jackets for a one way trip to Arborville and something pink, purple and gooey! Along for the (motorcycle) ride is fellow Bloody Disgusting writer Meagan Navarro, who is a huge fan of the practical effects wizardry in what is arguably one of the best horror remakes ever.This film has EVERYTHING: small character moments, subversion of expectations, and a plethora of gnarly deaths/set pieces. Plus: Trace's love of Shawnee Smith, an extended conversation on the value of a locked door, discussion of those FX and a death that Trace and Meagan can't believe Joe missed!Questions? Comments?

Here's a sneak peek at our all new full-length Patreon bonus episode on The Invisible Man (2020), Leigh Whannell's very well-received remake of the Universal Monster classic that tackles domestic abuse and gaslighting, and features an all-time performance by everyone's favorite *sigh* Scientologist Elisabeth Moss.Like what you hear?

In honor of Trace's 31st birthday, we're closing out February with a discussion of one of his favorite movies: Zombeavers! That's right, a movie that gifts us John Mayer in his feature film debut and one of the most salacious games of "Would You Rather" ever committed to film sends Trace into a non-stop flurry of giggle fits throughout the entire episode. Join us as we discuss this 77-minute-long film that features a plethora of beaver puns, Millennials scissoring each other to Lady Gaga, were-zombeaver people (and bears) and some very impressive zombeaver puppets. It's about as ridiculous (and entertaining!) as it sounds.Also up for discussion: severe penile trauma, a crazy faux Oscar campaign, a Frank Sinatra-style theme song and a delightful animated opening credits sequence!Look, this should be a one-joke movie that doesn't work, but it's actually a film with lots of jokes and it does work! That this admittedly juvenile film is non-homophobic and has equal amounts of nudity between its male and female characters is just an added bonus!

You asked for it (well, at least one of you did), and so we are finally covering the listeners' choice that was selected from our 2019 Listener Survey! That's right, we're discussing Pascal Laugier's controversial 2008 film Martyrs (aka the most anti-spoiler film ever made)! Big thanks to listener Brian Conmy for helping us pull the trigger on covering this masterful and deeply upsetting film.Major trigger warnings for anyone who has never seen Martyrs, because this film is one of the most disturbing films ever made. That's not hyperbole! Join us as we discuss what might be the most extreme example of white privilege ever put on screen (seriously, these people are so rich that they seemingly have all the time in the world to torture young women just so they can find out what happens after we die) and assign a few different readings to the film, including a very positive queer reading that might turn a few people around on it.We'll also try to answer questions that have followed the film since its 2008 release, including but not limited to: Is it torture porn? Is it misogynistic? Does it have a purpose? Why would someone make this endurance test of a film?Oh! And as an added bonus, both of us secretly watched the 2015 American remake without telling the other one, so we spend a little bit of time comparing the two films (hint: the original is better).Lastly, here are all of the articles we reference in the episode: The New Extremism in Cinema: From France to Europe (eds: Tanya Horeck & Tina Kendall) Films of the New French Extremity: Visceral Horror and National Identity by Alex West Martyrs: Evoking France’s Cinematic and Historical Past by Daniel Totaro Martyrs by Scott Tobias The Philosophy of ‘Martyrs’: Transcendence in Torture by Andrew Couzens Keep Doubting: Why Martyrs is One of Horror's Most Biting Critiques on Systems of Violence and Oppression by Angi Martyrs (2008): Movie Plot Ending Explained at ThisBarry.com Questions?

We're kicking off Women in Horror Month with a confusing and frankly boring erotic thriller about a threatening lesbian roommate, written by a gay man, for straight male audiences. Joining us for the ride are the two Amys (Kasio and Ketchum) of Double A Horror Highway, who help to unpack the film's mushroom cut hairstyles, portable computing devices and why neither Bridget Fonda or Jennifer Jason Leigh's characters own any furniture.Also up for discussion: un-sexy sex clubs, showing (but not using) the incinerator, whether Heddy is a true lesbian or mentally ill (or a mentally ill lesbian) and speculation about why the film tries to redeem every terrible character, including the rapist played by Stephen Tobolowsky!So little of Single White Female makes sense that we struggled to retain even the most basic plot points.

Anniversary month is dead! Long live Birthday month! To get the ball rolling, Joe has selected a terrible (read: great) film from his beloved Hellraiser franchise. Of course he opted for the fourth film - the one in space! - directed by none other than fake DGA moniker Alan Smithee (actually FX master Kevin Yagher).Folks, we have yet another super complicated production timeline, including a rumoured 112 min cut, multiple directors and reshoots that completely alter the film's meaning. And yet...there's still so much fascinating stuff mixed in with the hot garbage, including a compelling battle of the sexes, a bizarre (immediately discarded) trans mention and an actress that Trace is CONVINCED is secretly Noomi Rapace. Strap in for Pinhead quips, the return of Meryl (Kim Myers) and Joe's impassioned defence of the film and, by extension, the Hellraiser franchise. It's a birthday miracle!Questions? Comments? Snark?

Grab your first edition copy of The Iliad, because we're closing out our anniversary month by covering Rob Cohen's (The Fast and the Furious, xXx) The Boy Next Door, an erotic thriller that is neither erotic nor thrilling! Joining us for this riff-fest is noted The Boy Next Door defender (and fellow Bloody Disgusting columnist) Matt Donato, and he's brought along a raw chicken for all of us to share!Join us as we commend Lopez for using her own clothes to cut down on production costs, but lament how the film completely wastes Kristin Chenoweth (despite her awesome "Can I Speak to Your Manager?" haircut).Also on the docket: we try to figure out why people hate Lopez and why all of the male characters in the film going through crazy mood swings. Trace goes to bat for one of the film's deleted scenes, Joe is confused by the concept of a penis purse and Matt can't get over all of the references to The Wiz.Finally, we attempt to list off the multitude of Chekhov's items in the film (EpiPen, Engine, cookies, etc.).Questions?

Anniversary month continues as the boys head back to high school, bitches! Along with special guest PRIMO the ALIEN, we're digging into co-directors Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson's remake of their own film, which is itself a franchise non-starter (Part One, you say? Show us the receipts!)Despite a killer opening, this film certainly did not "blue our balls" with its mish-mash of tones, weird pacing and poor editing. Thankfully there's jokes to be made about butt plugs, vagina freezers and Trace's improv skills.Plus: is this film part of the Eli Roth dude bro school of lesbianic filmmaking, or is it subverting the male gaze and offering up a pro-queer reading? We're honestly not sure!Questions? Comments? Snark?

The boys are making a return trip to Slovakia to discuss a film that no one wanted to guest on! That's right, they're discussing Eli Roth's controversial and (dare they say it?) feminist sequel Hostel: Part II!Join them as they discuss the rapid decline of the torture porn sub-genre between 2006 and 2007, the accusations of misogyny lodged against the film, and Roth's progressive decision to make the protagonist of his sequel a lesbian (whom he doesn't objectify!) while casting out-and-proud lesbian Heather Matarazzo as the character who gets the film's most brutal death (in a scene that got the film banned in several countries).Also, Trace tries to come up with a synonym for the word "castration," Joe gives a brief oral history of the word "cunt" and they both try to figure out why Jordan Ladd needs so much sleep.Questions?

Hi! No, we really mean it. Hi! After nearly a year of waiting, the time has come for Trace and Joe to dig into the best film in the Scream franchise and arguably the best horror sequel of all time. Join us as we praise the film's dedication to further developing its main trio, its willingness to kill off Randy and, of course, Laurie Metcalf's totally unhinged performance as Mrs. Loomis (or is it Ms. Loomis? Try to keep track of Joe's pronunciations).Also on deck: wisdom from Wes Craven's audio commentary, details from Kevin Williamson's original leaked script, and a plethora of line readings, including Trace performing several scores. Plus: deep dives into two of the best sequences in modern horror!Don't wait for video because this episode is (British accent) "a good one."Questions? Comments? Snark?

Just in time for the last episode of the year before the holidays, the boys hit the time machine and travel back to Briarcliff Manor circa 1964 to party with the oppressed queers of American Horror Story: Asylum. Joining us for the fun is Vox's Emily VanDerWerff, who actually recapped the series back in 2012!The second season of the FX anthology series is basically a Stefon skit: it has EVERYTHING! Aliens, Nazis, serial killers, lesbians, and even sexy, possessed nuns. Plus, in the three episodes we're watching, Anne Frank (episodes 4-5) and a killer Santa (episode 8).We're digging into the Ryan Murphy-ness of it all with a debate about the quality of AHS, whether Murphy is a true queer ally, as well as how Emily came to love Sarah Paulson and why that terrible aversion therapy scene is so difficult to watch.Also: is this show suggesting that Ian McShane's Leigh Emerson became a killer Santa because he was gang-raped by five men?!Questions?

Just in time for the 45th anniversary of Bob Clark's iconic 1974 original film and the release of its second remake, the Horror Queers are celebrating the holidays with some eye bolas masquerading as Christmas tree ornaments in Glen Morgan's 2006 remake of Black Christmas! Joining them for this festive event is Alex Wiggins, the Acquisitions Supervisor for World of Death, who shares his traumatic experience of a hate crime that intruded on his first viewing of the film.Join them as they dive deep into the Weinstein shenanigans that plagued the film (not to mention those absolutely insane post-production shoots meant exclusively for the trailer), the jaundice-y and incest-y backstory of the film's male killer and the odd decision to have the film's female killer be played by a male actor.Oh, and why can't Andrea Martin's Mrs. Mac find any presents underneath that goddamn tree?This Week's Game: Which group of sorority girls are more equipped to survive a murderous psychopath?

Now that Trace has officially recovered from our 50th episode festivities, it's time to deal with an escalating vampire threat in David S. Goyer's Blade: Trinity, the whimpering conclusion of the groundbreaking (original) Marvel superhero trilogy.On the docket: why is a film filled with comedians so painfully unfunny? We speculate about the origin of the feud between Goyer and star Wesley Snipes (hint: racism), and discuss the badly-aged homophobic dialogue, which is sadly common ground for mid-2000s action films. Plus: Ryan Reynolds and Dominic Purcell's bodies (obvs), as well as random connections to Scream 3, Charlie's Angels and The Matrix!Be sure to stick around to the end of this supersized episode as the boys tackle gayness, body dysmorphia and Hollywood's obsession with Adonis beefcakes. It all gets a bit confessional, but hopefully it's helpful.Questions? Comments? Snark?

The Horror Queers are celebrating their 50th episode with a Very Special Episode discussing.....pedophilia? And The X-Files? If that sounds like a weird combination, it's because it is. Luckily, they have Trace's better half (i.e., husband) and X-Files stan Ari Drew helping them through this momentous occasion!What's the best way to reward your fans that have been watching your show for nine years? According to series creator Chris Carter, it's to release a completely standalone film that eschews the series' mythology in favor of trying to earn new viewers! Oh, and let's have very undeveloped and un-nuanced discussions about major issues like pedophilia, stem cell research and head-transplanted Frankenstein monsters that walk some murky areas on transgender issues.Oh, and Trace apologizes in advance for his incomprehensibility in the last half of the episode. He thought it would be a good idea to drink a very large glass of whiskey (on an empty stomach) during the recording. It wasn't.

Everything is peachy fucking keen as the Horror Queers take a field trip to Reagan High to figure out the mystery behind Liz Purr and the mysterious jawbreaker lodged in her throat! In what is admittedly an unusual film to cover in a horror podcast, Joe and Trace grab their Big Sticks and dive into the legacy that Darren Stein's Jawbreaker has left behind.How did this critical and commercial failure become the cult phenomenon that it is? Did it really rip off Heathers? Or was it ripped off by Mean Girls? Does it really matter? Why is Rose McGowan so perfect? And what if it had been a horror film, as Stein originally intended?Want to be entered for a chance to win the opportunity to pick one of our 2020 episodes (to be released in the first quarter)?

It'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.

With 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?

You'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?

As 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!

As 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?

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?

The 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?

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!

The 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.

The 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?

In 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?

The 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.

Joe 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.
