The Hunger (1983): "Eternal Lover Girl" ft. Queer Cinema Catchup

Happy Pride, Spookies! It's that time of year again where we become our strongest, gayest, most fabulous selves, and this month we're celebrating with Homoerotic Thriller Pride. To kick things off, we're covering The Hunger (1983), a bloodsucking bisexual romp featuring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon. And since Pride is all about community, we also invited our pals from Queer Cinema Catchup to come help us out! Join us on a new Spooky Tuesday as we debate relationship dynamics, discuss that studio-altered ending, and inevitably start making Twilight references. 

Follow Queer Cinema Catchup on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Check out Allison and Joe's new episodes every Thursday on Apple and Spotify.
