The Mummy (1932)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:05:00 +0000

Don't open that sarcophagus and prepare the fainting couch because we're discussing Karl Freund's The Mummy (1932).

Continuing the tradition of Universal Monster films, this Boris Karloff chiller is short and sweet, but we think it has one of the best female characters in Zita Johann's Helen/Princess Anck-es-en-Amon.

Plus: hating on David Manners' Frank; comparisons to Stephen Sommers and Tom Cruise's remakes; Karloff's painful (but great) make-up effects; and a queer reading about hiding who you are to pass in society.

Slither (2006)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 8 Apr 2026 07:05:00 +0000

Pack your box lunch and hand us a piece of that possum over there because we're talking James Gunn's hilariously goopy directorial debut Slither (2006) for its 20th(!!!) anniversary!

Join us as we lament the box office bomb status of this clever little creature feature (you better believe we were both in the theater back in 2006, though!) and laud the impressive practical effects on display.

Plus: marveling at the Brenda blob, gagging (literally) at the Society-esque Grant Grant blob, laughing at squid stickers and learning all about cooters.

Critters 2: The Main Course (1988)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 1 Apr 2026 07:05:00 +0000

Prep your Critter ball because we are celebrating Easter with Mick Garris' feature directorial debut, Critters 2: The Main Course (1988).

Two years after the events of the first film, the town of Grover's Bend is once again beset by alien Critters and bounty hunters, but this time the fight expands to include the whole town and Lee has adopted a sexy Playboy image (we have thoughts!)

Plus: Justice for skeleton man, death for little Cindy, statutory rape charges for Megan, practical FX from the Chiodo Brothers, and a Canadian vodka detour from Joe.

We might be delirious for this one.

The Wicker Man (1973) feat. Sean Abley

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:05:00 +0000

Remove your clothes, jump through that fire and dance around the maypole because we're finally discussing Robin Hardy's 1973 folk horror classic The Wicker Man! Tagging in for the conversation is writer/director/producer Sean Abley, co-author of the recent book Queer Horror: A Film Guide!

Join us as we go all in on the three different versions of this stealth musical(!!!) and find ourselves in deep philosophical waters as we parse through its heady themes.

Plus: phallic symbols galore, jars of foreskin, a cross-dressing Christopher Lee (who has rarely been better), and debating the intent vs. impact when it comes to sacrificing a man for the good of the crops (it's always for the crops, isn't it?).

Redux: Ready or Not (2019)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:05:00 +0000

Lace up your yellow chucks and rip that wedding dress because we are revisiting Radio Silence's Ready or Not (2019).

Starring Scream Queen Samara Weaving (in her break-out role), the "Explode The Rich" horror comedy is as good as ever (Trace) or even better than before (Joe).

Plus: Grace as a "Final Girl", a cast of Canadians, speculations about the mythology, and the original ending that would have been completely unacceptable.

Friday the 13th Part III (1982)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 07:05:00 +0000

Blast that Hot Ice, flip that switch on your van's reserve gas tank and put on your 3D glasses because we're talking Steve Miner's Friday the 13th Part III, the only entry in the franchise with the audacity to kill a pregnant character!

Join us as we discuss the many, many problems the 3D filming caused for the production before defending maligned characters like Shelly and Chris, the latter of which proves herself to be a very capable final girl in the film's extended climactic chase scene.

Plus: a random Kill Bill connection, an absolute banger of a disco theme, and discussing the differences between "theme park 3D" and "cinematic 3D."

Thesis (1996)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 4 Mar 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Hide your camcorder and don't drop out of film school because we're talking Spanish writer/director Alejandro Amenábar's 1996 feature film debut, Thesis (or Tesis)

The snuff film thriller is led by an enterprising College student surrounded by hot men, any of whom might be the balacava-wearing killer seen on screen. And while the reveal isn't exactly a whodunnit, the 2+ hour film is never boring.

Plus: Amenábar's queer and Franco fascism influences, 90s technology, and a sexy murder dream

Scream VI (2023)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Grab your ladder because we're headed to NY to ride the subway with the Core Four in Radio Silence's sequel to the requel, Scream VI (2023).

Obviously this is a megasized episode because we have *thoughts.* Thoughts on the killers, thoughts on who survives, thoughts on the best chase sequences and how much (or little) each character gets to do.

Plus: an absent Sidney, the return of Skeet Ulrich, the Stab shrine, and all of those homages to Scream 2. Who gives a fuck about movies?!

The Witch (2015) feat. Becky Darke

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Bring your baby-sized mortar and pestle and cherished silver cup to the party because we're discussing Robert Eggers' feature directorial debut: the audacious folk horror film The Witch (2015)! Joining us for the conversation is Hammer Time podcast co-host Becky Darke!

Join us as we marvel at all of the research Eggers did to ensure maximum authenticity, crafting a period film thats as scary as it is stomach-churning. That it all ends in a (somewhat debatable) "good for her" ending is just the icing on the cake.

Plus: big witchy tits, inky darkness courtesy of all the natural lighting, being "allergic to exposition," and a ringing endorsement from the Satanic Temple.

Doppelganger (1993)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Cue the green & red lighting and the KNB effects because we are talking about the absolutely *wild* 1993 film, Doppelganger.

Starring 17 year old emancipated minor Drew Barrymore, writer/director Avi Nesher's curious oddity is "DePalma meets Argento in the guise of a Lifetime film". Filled with gay extras and capital-A acting from the supporting cast, Doppelganger is one bizarre creative decision after another from beginning to (absolutely gonzo) end. Go in cold if you can!

Plus: underage nudity; Drew's troubled relationship with mother Jaid; gay Breakfast at Tiffany's; ties to 1991's Popcorn; and Leslie Hope's rapid-fire screwball comedy dialogue.

Sphere (1998)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 4 Feb 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Watch out for those jellyfish and be nice to Jerry the alien, because we're talking Barry Levinson's misguided 1998 adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Sphere!

Join us as we try to figure out just what went wrong with this thing. From the lackluster direction to the hectic editing to the uneven performances (Sharon Stone innocent), it's hard to find one single reason for Sphere's badness. Hell, we can't even determine when we turn on the film, as the first chunk of it is pretty damn engaging!

Plus: criticisms of the film's overuse of title cards (seriously, why?!), comparisons to Annihilation, and wondering why we never see the giant squid.

Micro Queers: Tamara (2005)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Mon, 2 Feb 2026 08:05:00 +0000

For its 20th anniversary, we're revisiting screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick (Final Destination)'s succubus film, Tamara (2005/2006).

This one is...perplexing. The script fails to establish how the characters know each other, it punishes them unfairly and in a bizarre order, and the ending is baffling.

But it's so trope-y, it's an easy watch, star Jenna Dewan is having a blast, and there's a mean streak that we appreciate.

Plus: peak 2005 fashion; all things Canadian; and a gay rape scene that we don't entirely know how to discuss!

Come on down to the Dreamland Theater because we're turning a trio of turkeys into a memorable moviegoing feast with director Mark Herrier's 1991 slasher Popcorn.

Starring a bunch of horror royalty and featuring three movies-within-a-movie, this cult title is a fun slice of entertainment with some great mask FX!

Plus: queer actor Tom Villard, a himbo with head injuries, remake potential, and debate about whether the film is meta or not.

Split (2016)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Look out the "window" and invite all the alters to the party because we're discussing M. Night Shyamalan's hugely successful but somewhat controversial 2016 thriller Split!

Join us as we parse through the film's questionable handling of dissociative identity disorder and sexual assault, while lauding Shyamalan's creative return to form and James McAvoy's stellar performance.

Plus: Wheel of Fortune tactics, debating whether or not Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley) is a good therapist and discussing the Unbreakable (and Glass) of it all.

Micro Queers: Anaconda (2025)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Gather your closest group of friends and get ready to head to the Amazon rainforest because we're discussing Tom Gormican's (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) 2025 reboot of Anaconda. Unfortunately, our anacondas don't want none of this, hun.

Join us as we try to figure out who thought this was a good idea (though judging by the box office numbers, the gamble seems to have paid off). Its reliance on juvenile humor, subpar thrills in the snake attack department and complete lack of a meaningful plot make this one big misfire for us.

28 Years Later (2025)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 08:05:00 +0000

Run across that causeway because we're opening the Patreon vault and diving head first into Danny Boyle's unexpectedly weird 28 Years Later (2025). It's Act I of a planned trilogy, but does it stand on its own?

Join us as we discuss the Brexit allegory, lament the predictable zombie fare and laud the emotional gut punch of the third act. Also: take a shot every time we say "maybe we'll find out in the sequel(s)."

Plus, prosthetic penises, Predator-like decapitations, Ralph Fiennes' boney art installation and addressing the Jimmy Savile of it all.

We're kicking off a new year with Alex Garland's feature directorial debut, Ex Machina (2014). Joining us for the ride is Garland mega-fan Miss Sinclair from Talk Movie To Me podcast.

This prescient film has aged incredibly well: from its portrayal of an entitled tech billionaire to its naive-meets-incel "white knight" protagonist to questions about the ethics of AI. It's a film filled with questions, which has us posing a number of our own!

Plus: Oscar-winning FX, Ava's "Alicia Vikander drag", Joe's queer cuckolding read, and why we're planning a trip to Norway

Night School (1981)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Pull that severed head out of the aquarium and grab a pomegranate to take with you into the shower (seriously) because we're discussing Ken Hughes' Boston-set slasher Night School (1981)!

Join us as we go all in on this forgotten film, from its original title of Terror Eyes (get it?) to its notorious status as a video nasty. And on top of everything, it's got a predatory lesbian character to boot!

Plus: lauding that "is the head in the pot?" diner sequence, wondering why no one gets killed at the titular school, and debating whether or not the killer's M.O. counts as cultural appropriation (spoiler alert: it does).

P2 (2007) feat. Stuart Ross

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Take off your heels and prep your taser because we're stuck in a cold parking garage for Christmas with Franck Kalfoun's P2 (2007). Along for the joyride is Stuart Ross from Another Gay Horror Podcast, who's watching the film for the first time! C/W: Sexual harassment

Join us as we praise leads Rachel Nichols and (an admittedly typecast) Wes Bentley, as well as a fantastic flooded elevator sequence.

Plus: beautiful businesswoman Angela's conditioned response to misogyny, fixing the opening, breaking high rise windows, and "debate" about security guard Karl's death.

Micro Queers: Dust Bunny (2025)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Ride that hippo and stay off the floor because we are talking about Bryan Fuller's feature directorial debut, Dust Bunny (2025).

Starring a perfectly cast Sophie Sloan as a young girl who hires a nameless hitman (Mads Mikkelsen) to kill the monster under her bed, this is a throwback to classic gateway horror films from the Amblin era.

Plus: Sigourney Weaver (and her gun heels), praise for balancing so many genres/tones, homages aplenty, and a new reason to get excited about The Vampire Lestat (hint: it's Sheila Atim).

Jumanji (1995)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Grab those dice, Sonny Jim! Roll with the punches and and pray they read 5 or 8 because we're talking Joe Johnston's original gateway horror creature feature Jumanji (1995) for its 30th anniversary, or as it could also be called: 'Daddy Issues: The Movie'.

Join us as we go all in on the film that made Trace a fan of creature features to begin with. From its dark tone (especially when compared to the newer Jumanji films) to its scary imagery (will anything be more terrifying that watching little Alan Parrish get sucked into the game?), they just don't make kids' movies like this anymore!

Plus, animatronics vs. CGI, the "cruel torture" subjected to actor Bradley Pierce during the production, our many, many issues with the ending, and why the film needs more Bebe Neuwirth.

CORRECTIONS: Trace makes 2 errors in this episode:

Christopher Daniel Barnes (Greg in the Brady Bunch movies), voices Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, not Aladdin in Aladdin.
Laura Bell Bundy did not win "Legally Blonde: The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods". She originated the role of Elle Woods in the original Broadway production, with Bailey Hanks winning the reality show and replacing her.

Chronicle (2012)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Touch that alien rock and film yourself doing *everything* because we are talking about Josh Trank's superhero (villain?) film, Chronicle (2012).

This found footage film features strong performances by Dane DeHaan and a charismatic Michael B. Jordan, as well as a clever explanation for the usual "why/how are they filming everything" issue.

Plus: shitty teen boys, aborted sequels, and Trace's worst performance on a game to date!

Interview: Bryan Fuller on Dust Bunny

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Mon, 8 Dec 2025 08:05:00 +0000

In this episode, we chat with writer/director Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me) about his feature directorial debut: the R-rated gateway horror film Dust Bunny.

Topics include our bafflement at that R rating, discovering the origins of the project and diving into Fuller's maximalist style (which he attributes to his "untethered f****try").

But wait! There's more! We also get updates on his planned fourth season of Hannibal(!!!) and his planned third season of Pushing Daisies(!!!!!!!!!!!).

The Sentinel (1977)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Get ready for a bunch of all-star cameos (Christopher Walken! Jeff Goldblum! Beverly D'Angelo! John Carradine! Ava Gardner!) and one truly bonkers climax because we're discussing Michael Winner's 1977 chiller The Sentinel!

Join us as we go all in on this messy little film, albeit one with a lot of great ideas. It's one of the rare times you'll hear us say that a movie is too short, because it seems like there are full scenes missing from this thing. Still, it's got some great effects (that nose slice!), courtesy of industry vet Dick Smith (The Exorcist).

Plus: defining "tasteful" masturbation, trying to figure out the logistics behind the Catholic church's grand master plan and the bizarre lack of consent it entails, and Trace not only learning what a sentinel is, but majorly flubbing Joe's game.

Misery (1990) feat. Roz Hernandez

tracedthurman@gmail.com (roz hernandez) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Squirrel away those pills and burn that manuscript because we're talking about Rob Reiner's adaptation of Stephen King's Misery (1990).

Joining us for the discussion is comedian Roz Hernandez, who has begun (but maybe never finished?) every King novel.

We're talking Kathy Bates' Academy award winning performance as Annie Wilkes, a horny Sheriff & Deputy combo, and multiple fiery manuscripts.

Plus: toxic (queer) fandom, Lauren Bacall's smoker voice, the FX we do - and don't - see, and pranking Barnes & Noble employees

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) feat. Zoë Rose Smith

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Wipe that shit-eating grin off your face and heed all of the content warnings (seriously), because we're discussing Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious anti-fascist 1975 film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Tagging in for the conversation is Zoë Rose Smith, the co-host of the Tainted Love podcast!

Join us as we do a very deep dive into this controversial film, beginning with a Pasolini primer before parsing through the film's graphic depictions of sexual assault, torture, sadomasochism and coprophilia. This is an extremely challenging film, but dare we say we admire it?

Plus: debating the queer representation in the film (can it be both positive and negative?), comparisons to our current political climate and discussing whether or not the film qualifies as porn (it doesn't).

Micro Queers: Anapidae (Call Me) (2025)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Arachnophobes beware: we're discussing writer/director Mathieu Morel's 44 minute film Anapidae (Call Me), which is about an unusual graveyard caretaker who befriends the grieving widow of his dead lover.

Oh, and he also has a pet tarantula that appears to be growing larger (metaphor alert!)

Plus: what we like and dislike about this "novella", a Yann Gonzalez (Knife + Heart) connection, and making heads and tales of the dream-like sequences in the film.

The Skeleton Key (2005)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Lay down a line of protective brick dust and scream "I don't believe!" because we are discussing Iain Softley's 2005 Southern Gothic thriller, The Skeleton Key.

Starring Kate Hudson and Gena Rowlands, this Ehren Kruger joint has a great twist (or is it a reveal?) that may or may not have dicey racial implications.

Plus: not trusting Peter Sarsgaard, Black character exposition, the difference between hoodoo and voodoo, and the ending we still can't believe a studio signed off on!

Frankenstein (1931)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 08:05:00 +0000

Toss that girl in the pond and break out the good champagne because we're discussing James Whale's seminal horror film Frankenstein (1931) to celebrate the release of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (2025)!

Join us as we discuss how Frankenstein's success (along with that same year's Dracula), helped kickstart a series of Universal monster films. We also discuss what made this film so terrifying for audiences in 1931, despite the fact that the creature itself is one of the most sympathetic characters in horror history.

Plus: another lesson in German Expressionism, lamenting the uselessness of Elizabeth (Mae Clarke), heaping all the praise on that dummy shot, and recounting a funny anecdote about....hard-boiled eggs???

The Witches of Eastwick (1987)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Spit out that cherry pit and get ready to meet a horny little devil because we're discussing George Miller's 1987 adaptation of John Updike's satirical feminist(?) novel The Witches of Eastwick!

Join us as we go all in on the production troubles this film had. From the studio putting the pressure on Miller to some casting snafus with Susan Sarandon and Cher, it's a wonder this thing turned out as well as it did!

Plus: Jack Nicholson's scene-stealing performance, gagging over cherry pit-laden vomit, debating sequel ideas, and wondering why Michelle Pfeiffer has nothing to do in this movie?

The Orphanage (2007) feat. Shelagh Rowan-Legg

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Don your mask for the treasure hunt because we're discussing J.A. Bayona's The Orphanage (2007) along with Spanish horror scholar (and returning guest) Shelagh Rowan-Legg.

Join us as we praise Belén Rueda's lead performance, the film's unsettling set pieces, its curious lack of Spanish cultural signifiers, and speculate on the film's use of HIV in the plot.

Plus: the film's obsession with jaws, Joe's suspicions of Carlos' infidelity, and multiple interpretations of the bittersweet ending!

Micro Queers: I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 07:05:00 +0000

We're headed to the cottage for some R'n'R (that would be rape/revenge) with screenwriter Stuart Morse and director Steven R. Monroe's 2010 remake of I Spit on Your Grave for its 15th anniversary.

Beyond asking who is this for and why are there no female creatives involved (!), we're digging into the revenge, questioning the gaze, and talking about queer actor Daniel Franzese dropping his voice to play redneck.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) feat. Paul Farrell

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Wipe that popcorn off your jacket and take the longest shower ever because we're discussing the queer-leaning throuple at the center of Stephen Chiodo's cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)! Tagging in for the conversation is Dead Ringers Podcast co-host Paul Farrell!

Join us as we dive into this plot-lite gem of a film, thanks to some impressively resourceful practical effects and set design, courtesy of the Chiodo Bros.. It's a gateway horror film that aims to entertain, and at that it most definitely does.

Plus: The Dickies' super fun theme song, "Klown mayhem," debating the usefulness of Debbie and why Trace can't stop laughing over the line "big boobs!"

Shivers (1975)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 8 Oct 2025 07:05:00 +0000

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, we're revisiting David Cronenberg's classic "sex slug" film, Shivers (1975). C/W: sexual assault, statutory rape

An isolated Montreal apartment complex comes under attack by a parasitic aphrodisiac venereal disease in the famed Canada director's genre debut, which a) nearly went to Hollywood and b) was publicly attacked because the movie was funded by taxpayer dollars.

Plus: searching for a protagonist; low-fi FX that hold up; the nonchalant acceptance of the rape of a minor; threatening queer sexuality; and an all-timer ending in the pool!

Grab a chainsaw because we're slicing into writer Joe Knetter and director Marcel Walz's homage to classic rural horror titles like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.

We're mixed on this one, which has one of the best deaths of the year (file under: gloryhole sounding) and tons of queerness, but has terrible pacing/editing and a confusing message.

To Die For (1995)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 1 Oct 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Strap on your ice skates and check your makeup because we're talking Gus Van Sant's whip-smart satire To Die For for its 30th anniversary! After all, you're not anybody in America unless you're on TV, right?

Join us as we heap all the praise on Nicole Kidman's Golden Globe-winning (but not Oscar-nominated) performance as narcissistic sociopath Suzanne Stone before going all in on the film's troubled road to release (so many test screenings!).

Plus: Danny Elfman's jarring score, baby Joaquin Phoenix (in one of his best roles), assassin David Cronenberg and why there's no point in doing anything if nobody's watching.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 07:05:00 +0000

This week we're opening the Patreon vault to discuss The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024) in anticipation of Renny Harlin's long overdue sequel, Chapter 2.

We have a lot of thoughts about this first film, its negative reception, and how to evaluate what is really 1/3 of a single film.

Plus: Rural horror, comparisons to the Fear Street trilogy and the Cabin Fever remake, groaning at inhaler drama, debates about character stupidity, our favorite jump scares, and the perils of late night fridge repair.

Bonus Drinking Game: Trace sighs or Joe says "exciting"

The Birds (1963)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Alma! We're covering another Alfred Hitchcock film with 1963's The Birds.

It's Hitch, so prepare to get technical with Trace's production history and thanks to another essay from It Came From the Closet, Joe has a compulsory Melanie & Annie queer reading on deck.

Plus: the one scene that doesn't work; our favorite pieces of editing; why bitchy Melanie is our fave; and this week's game: sequel or remake!

Akira (1988)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Hop on your motorcycle, avoid that "child" in the road and slide to a stop because we're discussing Katsuhiro Otomo's seminal anime Akira (1988)!

Join us as we offer a primer on all things Akira, as well as its influences on, uh, everything. We then work our way through its very, very dense plot, which somehow condenses hundreds of manga pages into a 2-hour runtime. This includes a queer read for Kaneda and Tetsuo, as well as debating whether or not the film has a "woman problem."

Plus: raisin-faced "children," singularities, and one horrifying sequence involving malevolent stuffed animals (and a lot of "milk").

Micro Queers: O Fantasma (2000)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Mon, 8 Sep 2025 07:05:00 +0000

We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of queer director João Pedro Rodrigues' controversial erotic drama O Fantasma (2000).

There's a lot to unpack in this movie with very little dialogue or narrative tissue, as we follow protagonist Sérgio (Ricardo Meneses) from sexual encounter to sexual encounter. It's a strange (and occasionally very, very hot) film that left us a bit perplexed, but we can't deny that it fascinated us to no end.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 3 Sep 2025 07:05:00 +0000

For Episode 350 (!) we decided we wanted a party, so we're headed south of the border to hang out at the Titty Twister with the Gecko brothers in Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn (1996).

From an epic game that lasts the whole episode to a little bit of drunken slurring by the end, this is a good time through and through.

Plus: Quentin Tarantino's screenplay and how this collaboration anticipates 2007's Grindhouse (see previous episodes), worshipping Santanico Pandemonium, Trace's pitch to watch the TV series, and the many, MANY titles that we may cover in the future. Grab your crotch gun and jump in!

The Toxic Avenger (1984)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Get the kid and the bike because we're heading to The Mexican Place to check out Troma Entertainment's crown jewel: The Toxic Avenger (1984). Just in time to celebrate the release of Macon Blair's remake, too!

Join us as we offer a primer on all things Toxie before diving into this ridiculously silly (and charming!) little film. The Toxic Avenger feels like a live-action cartoon that's been dumped in a vat of extremely transgressive toxic waste, and it all (mostly) works!

Plus: an unexpected gang of queers, masturbating to photos of dead children, "Body Talk", and swapping out human heads for cantaloupes.

CW: Dog death, child death, attempted sexual assault and the use of many, many slurs.

Serial Mom (1994)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Keep an eye out for pussy willows and don't wear white after Labor Day because we're talking about John Waters' most "accessible" film, Serial Mom (1994).

Featuring an all-time performance by Kathleen Turner and the usual Waters' stable, this satire of true crime and horror films is a great introduction for Dreamland novices.

Plus: the best comedic bits, a primer on Patty Hearst, more of Trace's favorite Waters films, and why you *do not* want to mention Annie around Joe.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Check your watch you little ignoramus because we're talking Peter Weir's seminal Australian mystery Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975).

Join us as we dive into this mythic piece of "true" crime from the bush, with an unsolved mystery that still perplexes people to this very day. Add in some repressed lesbianism and some hauntingly ethereal vibes for good measure, of course.

Plus: pan flutes galore, gorgeous crimson cloaks, and why book author Joan Lindsay is a massive troll.

Psycho Beach Party (2000)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 6 Aug 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Beware of circles and phallic surfboards because we're talking Robert Lee King's adaptation of Charles Busch's stage play Psycho Beach Party (2000) for its 25th anniversary!

Lead by HQ fave Lauren Ambrose, this homage to sexual repression, Gidget and beach/surf movies is very silly, very queer, and very fun.

Plus: a primer on the origin of "teen films", the stacked cast, Swedish accents, and constipation = apprehension about bottoming?

Oldboy (2003)

Swallow that octopus and run away from those ants because we're discussing Park Chan-wook's 2003 masterpiece Oldboy!

Join us as we discuss the origins of Oldboy, from its manga source material to the changes Park applied to this adaptation, before going all in on this spider's web of a revenge plot. It's a film known for its big twist, but there's so much more to appreciate here!

Plus: that hallway fight scene, Manic Pixie Sushi Dream Girls, questionable CGI, death by CD-ROM, hypnosis as a plot convenience (but who cares?) and debating whether or not this is a "film bro" movie.

Phenomena (1985)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Assemble your spear and follow the fly in the box because we're discussing Dario Argento's 1985 giallo fairytale, Phenomena.

Starring Jennifer Connelly, Donald Pleasence and Argento's frequent collaborator, Daria Nicolodi, this movie is wild (seriously: take a shot every time we say the word). From questionable disability representation to a Friday the 13th-inspired climax, from chimps to bugs, Phenomena kinda has it all.

Plus: Trace tackles the multiple cuts, Joe's fantasy double bill, a "sleepy" Connelly, maggot baptisms, and debate about who committed the murders and why.

The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) feat. Dana Piccoli

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Check the temperature of that pizza and close the damn refrigerator because we're finally (finally!) discussing the female-written and female-directed 1982 slashic The Slumber Party Massacre. Tagging in for the conversation is Dana Piccoli!

Join us as we go all in on this Frankenstein's monster of a slasher film that showcases some feminist themes, while courting to Roger Corman's demands of boobs, butts and blood. That it all began with a parody script from noted queer feminist Rita Mae Brown makes it all the more interesting!

Plus: P.E. representation (huh?), comedic match cuts, gratuitous shower scenes, debating Courtney's intended age, and #JusticeForCoachJana.

Fascination (1979)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 9 Jul 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Show your tits and grab that scythe because we're talking our very first Jean Rollin text: 1979's Fascination.

The lesbian vampire film is gorgeous and dreamy with several subversive twists, including the fact that this is not actually a vampire movie.

Plus: women in control, a truly shitty man, sheer veils, connections to porn and struggling with the feminist/class readings.

Jaws (1975) feat. Jenn Adams

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Horror Queers) — Wed, 2 Jul 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Karate chop those picket fences and watch out for that severed head because we're discussing Steven Spielberg's Academy Award®-winning blockbuster 'Jaws' (1975) for its 50th anniversary! Tagging in for the conversation is Joe's Murder Made Fiction co-host Jenn Adams, making this a super-sized podcast crossover event!

Join us as we go all in on this gem of aquatic horror history, from the source novel's origins (including a review from Fidel Castro???) to the infamously troubled film production and the real-life stories that inspired the story.

Plus: a queer reading of our three male leads, discussing the importance of John Williams' score, sympathy for Mr. Mayor (huh?), and the ultimate question: can sharks commit murder?

Stick your fingers in the ooze and prep your one-liner because we are "celebrating" the 30th anniversary of a Trace fave with Bryan Spicer's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995).

Piloting the Falcon Zord alongside us is The Evolution of Horror's Mike Muncer, who was also a fan of the show as a kid.

Plus: a troubled production, a homophobic crew, Arne Olsen's terrible script, 90s CGI, a queer-coded villain and...why is Joe putting Zordon on a watchlist?

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.

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!

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 5 Jun 2025 07:05:00 +0000

We're celebrating the 10th anniversary of queer director Ted Geoghegan's feature debut, We Are Still Here (2015).

This is a quiet indie film with some serious star power (Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden, Monte Markham, and Lisa Marie?!), as well as great FX. But a decade later, it's the quiet depiction of grief that we appreciate a great deal more.

Deliverance (1972)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Jun 2025 07:05:00 +0000

Prep your canoes and don't anger the locals because we're discussing John Boorman's (in)famous 1972 thriller Deliverance and all the baggage that comes with it.

Join us as we take a look at a film whose reputation precedes it, from its male rape scene to its portrayal of rural mountain folk. There's plenty to unpack here!

Plus: Burt Reynolds' lamb bone, squealing pigs, raping landscapes, and the poignancy of watching a grown man weep.

Frankenhooker (1990)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 May 2025 14:39:00 +0000

"Got any money?! Wanna party?!" For the second time this year, we're checking out a Frank Henenlotter text as the indie director's Frankenhooker celebrates its 35th anniversary.

Expect plenty of praise for Patty Mullen's (too brief!) comedic performance, talk of the film's exploitation elements, and debate about Jeffrey's likeability.

Plus: sequel vs remake, a trans reading, and why exploding dummies are always funny.

Plus: an unexpected queer reading involving bears (the animal kind), debating the best carpet in the Overlook (it's Room 237's carpet) and how Doctor Sleep retroactively affects rewatches of The Shining.

Join us as we discuss the Clarice of it all before heading to Italy to check in with everyone's favorite cannibal. There's no denying it: this is just a weird movie. Be it Gary Oldman's prosthetics or Ray Liotta's brain sac, there's a lot here that mainstream audiences weren't ready for 20+ years ago!

Mind the glass shards and mushrooms because we're talking Lee Haven Jones' eco-horror film, The Feast (2021).

It's a rare horror film in Welsh (apologies for any mispronunciations!) as well as a capital M message movie, but this one has grown on us since its festival circuit run.

Plus: colonizers, politicians and farmers, a slow burn en route to a Grand Guignol climax, and house porn...in the wrong way?

Join us as we attempt to offer a reappraisal of this weird little film, which certainly has its flaws but also has so much going for it. Be it Sigourney Weaver's magnetic performance as Ripley 8 (you'll hear no "not my Ripley" cries from us) or the ooey gooey practical effects, we still like this one!

Plus: Xenomorph nail polish, breathalyzer door locks, that underwater sequence, a monologuing Brad Dourif and the hazards of regularly eating lemon slices.

It's "shitty teen boys, the movie" as we discuss toxic masculinity and male entitlement, Arnie and Dennis' homoeroticism, and the film's inability to name its female lead.

Plus: book to film comparisons, debate about Arnie's complicity, lamenting the thin characterizations, and a "King adaptations of the 80s" game!

Join us as we go all in on this film's extremely troubled production (seriously, it's bad!) before diving into the plot of this extended episode of The X-Files.

Monitor your blood sugar and watch the motion sensor lasers because we're diving into David Fincher's Panic Room (2002), along with Queerty's Cameron Scheetz.

We think this David Fincher "popcorn" flick doesn't get enough respect, particularly for queer leads Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart.

Plus: a scary Dwight Yoakam, Leto's cornrows, slow motion set pieces, and the film's troubled production history which includes...Nicole Kidman?!

Join us as we go all in on the male-directed and male-written film that satirizes, well, men. From the Playboy Bunny origins of the Stepford wives to conflicting thoughts on Walter, there's a lot to discuss!

Plus: praise for Bobbie (Paula Prentiss), a lesson in female fashion and Raymond Chandler for Trace, thinking about Stepford dogs, and wondering if Easy-On Spray Starch really does save you half an hour a day (at least!).

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

Prepare to shriek because we're talking about Philip Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) for week 3 of 'Doppelgänger and Deception' month.

There's a lot to unpack in this technical masterpiece, including the vital early character work, the amazing practical effects, and that fatalistic ending.

Plus: directing bukkake, debating Leonard Nimoy's Kibner, the "Me Decade" of the 70s, one of cinema's most devastating deaths, and comparison to the other Body Snatcher remakes.

Cam (2018) feat. Ariel Powers-Schaub

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 07:10:00 +0000

Finish that whole steak on your fork and keep an eye on that Top 50 list because we're continuing our theme month of doubles and doppelgängers in Daniel Goldhaber's 2018 gem Cam! Tagging in for the conversation is horror author Ariel Powers-Schaub.

Join us as we praise Madeline Brewer's fearless lead performance, as well as the exceptionally authentic screenplay written by Isa Mazzei, who drew upon her own experiences as a sex worker when writing the film.

Plus: clit-destroying Vibatrons, emphasizing the "work" part of sex work and a very insightful lesson on tulpas from our guest.

Black Swan (2010)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 08:10:00 +0000

Break in your ballet shoes and for God's sake, let this girl climax (!) because we are talking about Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.

From Natalie Portman's Oscar winning performance to this stacked cast to its immersive handheld camera, Black Swan is a big fave, even if Nina's passivity can be frustrating to watch.

Plus: debate about Thomas' sexual assault, lauding Ryder's profane Beth, sheet cake meltdowns, the desire for perfection, and exquisite mirror work.

Micro Queers: Dr. Caligari (1989)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 08:10:00 +0000

Pull out your sheep trotters and dance with that giant tongue door because we're discussing Stephen Sayadian's 1989 pseudo-sequel Dr. Caligari!

Join us as we try to piece together just what is going on in this bizarre little movie. From forced transitions to horny cannibals, we don't think the director of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari could have ever foreseen this coming out of his classic silent film. It's wild. It's weird. We can't quite say we'd recommend it, but we certainly won't forget it!

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 08:10:00 +0000

Stay away from that sideshow attraction and watch out for murderous sleepwalkers because we're discussing Robert Weine's classic 1920 silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, believed by many to be the first true horror film ever made!

Join us as we go on a tour of pre-WWII German history and learn about German Expressionism to see how Caligari came to be. But more importantly: to acknowledge the importance of this seminal film that has influenced countless film directors in the 105 years(!!!) since its initial release.

Amityville 1992: It's About Time (1992)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 08:10:00 +0000

Considering Joe's relationship with the "franchise", it's about time...we covered an Amityville film! To coincide with the release of Oz Perkins' The Monkey, we're checking out the "haunted clock" entry of the Amityville "series" and this one is a hoot. C/W: the dog dies

Up for discussion: Rusty's "delinquency", VPL, surprisingly gnarly practical FX, a Final Destination-style death, ugly 90s interior decor, and debate if this is a secret Hellraiser film.

Plus: Trace plays Real or Fake with 10 Amityville titles and Joe gives his top recommendations

Put on your abstinence ring and head over to the local swimming hole because we're discussing Mitchell Lichtenstein's 2007 horror comedy Teeth!

Join us as we go all in on this seemingly forgotten relic of the aughts, praising its handling of some admittedly difficult subject matter while masterfully balancing the tone without sacrificing sincerity.

Plus: digging into Teeth's mishandled release, its 2024 off-Broadway musical adaptation and wondering why lead actress Jess Weixler never became the Parker Posey of her generation.

Nocturnal Animals (2016) feat. Ari Drew

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Feb 2025 08:10:00 +0000

Apply the darkest shade of red lipstick you own because we're discussing Tom Ford's sophomore feature Nocturnal Animals (2016)! Tagging in for the conversation is Trace's better half Ari Drew!

Join us as we discuss the revenge of it all in this somewhat polarizing film. From Amy Adams' unlikable protagonist who often stares off into space to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's poo-on-the-porch sequence, there's a lot to unpack here!

Plus: sassy elevator operators, Laura Linney's bouffant, one incredibly effective jump scare and a controversial opening sequence involving nude, fat dancers.

Tabitha! We're taking Carrie White to the prom with a look at Stephen King's first feature film adaptation: Brian De Palma's 1976 classic, Carrie.

Up for discussion: debate over Carrie as Monster, a satire of religion, our love of Miss Collins, Pino Donaggio's score, and why Trace implores everyone to watch Chris' death scene in the 2013 remake.

In anticipation of our Carrie (1976) episode, we chatted with Jawbreaker writer/director Darren Stein about how De Palma's film influenced his pitch black 1999 high school horror comedy.

Speaking of Jawbreaker, we've got the scoop on what that E! TV series would have looked like! Or maybe you wanna hear about Stein's plans for a film version of the Jawbreaker musical? Or a possible requel in the vein of Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2?! Listen for the tea!

Micro Queers: We Kill Them All (2025)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 08:10:00 +0000

Look for wooden magpies and beware of barbed wired because we're talking Jeremy Drummond's We Kill Them All (2025). C/W: brief attempted sexual assault

We're not sold on this indie queer thriller which pits girlfriends against a trio of rapey criminals at a deserted resort. The dialogue is particularly off-putting, some set pieces are ok but it's often quite repetitive and the messaging about queer identity & agency is...messy.

Proceed with caution!

Brain Damage (1988)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 08:10:00 +0000

After years of requests, we're ready to tackle Aylmer, the film's gay and/or drug allegory, and why Barbara should have just fucked the brother.

Plus: incest, bathhouse towels, sub/dom, and who could direct a remake of this exploitation classic?

Up for discussion: the creative team's pedigree, disabled women in jeopardy films, an unnecessary romance, Razzie nominations, comparisons to Carpenter's Someone's Watching Me! and Elizabeth Ashley's iconic queer villain performance.

From the debates about the film's feminist messaging to Tarantino's own disillusionment with the film, we have a lot to say! Plus: dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue, discussing the rest of the fake trailers, why Arlene/Butterfly (Vanessa Ferlito) is Joe's favorite character and one Hell of a final shot.

Into The Dark: New Year, New You (2018)

We're #manifesting a happy New Year's with our best influencer friend courtesy of Sophia Takal and Adam Gaines' "New Year, New You" (2018).

The all-female entry of Into The Dark is all about toxic (female) friendships and anticipates a ton of 2022 "Influencer" horror titles, particularly Sissy.

Plus: praise for Carly Chaikin, questions about Suki Waterhouse's career, debates about social media advertising and complaints of "wokeness", and sly commentary (maybe?) by Takal and Gaines about the importance of Black, queer and fat people in white women's stories.

You didn't think we'd abandon you for Christmas, did you? For our final Main Feed episode of 2024, we're tackling Damien Leone's Terrifer 3 (2024) AKA the highest grossing unrated film OF ALL TIME!!!

Plus: Leone's rebuttal to accusations of misogyny, horror cameos, debate if Art is Vicky's sidekick, the wonky death that doesn't work for us, and how Art has broken into the mainstream.

Celebrate the holidays with one final Micro Queers as we check in on prolific Aussie filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay's latest, Carnage for Christmas (2024).

We really enjoy watching Mackay develop as a filmmaker, though the film could benefit from a few less characters and storylines. Still, Carnage for Christmas has a unique killer mask, some great gore, and one badass lead protagonist in podcaster Lola.

Beware of pigs on the road and hide your wedding dress because we're talking Marisa Crespo & Moisés Romera's queer Christmas horror film, You Are Not Me (2022).

Spoiler alert: this is a great companion piece to The Invitation, complete with cults, and a consideration of class and cultural stereotypes. It's also shot really well!

The Phantom of the Opera (2004) feat. Bartees Strange

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 08:05:00 +0000

Prepare yourself for bloat and bombast because we're discussing Joel Schumacher's 2004 adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera for its 20th anniversary! Tagging in for the conversation is queer musician Bartees Strange, who provides some much needed musical insight on the film.

Join us as we try to figure out why this movie doesn't sing (sorry) the way it should. It's a constant war of style vs. substance, with a lot of visuals that look great....but mean nothing. Adding insult to injury is the perplexing decision to cast non-singer Gerard Butler as the Phantom, who makes some questionable decisions regarding the villain's characterization.

Plus: Emmy Rossum's breakout role, Patrick Wilson's Lord Farquad haircut, reprise after reprise after reprise, golden arm candelabra holders and a runaway chandelier.

***Episode Correction: During his prodcution history, Trace says that the stage production of The Phantom of the Opera premiered in 1968, but it was actually 1986.

We're celebrating director Adam Randall's under seen puzzle film I See You (2019) for its fifth anniversary.

From the film's terrible marketing to its plethora of twists, there's a lot to discuss, including a potentially uncomfortable reading about (implied) sexual molestation.

Plus: queer writer Devon Graye, Helen Hunt's return, phrogging in horror, and *that* score!

Wield your clippers and marvel at your Scalp Shrine because we're discussing Jill Gevargizian's feature directorial debut The Stylist (2020)! Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and resident wig expert) Lindsay Traves!

Join us as we dive into the mind of protagonist Claire, played wonderfully by Najarra Townsend while lauding Gevargizian's stylish (heh heh) filmmaking techniques. Plus: a discussion on salon etiquette, some supremely squelchy foley work and the world's cheapest wedding hairstyle ($65?! Really?!).

Log onto 'Encounters' and dust off your Peachfuzz mask because we're talking Creep 2 (2017). Along for the ride is The Queer Quadrant co-host Brooke Solomon, who finds plenty to appreciate in a sequel that is more complex than its predecessor.

Plus: Praise for both Duplass and bisexual co-star Desiree Akhavan, debating male vs female nudity, dismissing claims that Sara is "dumb", Coppola wine, and speculation about Shudder's The Creep Tapes

The Thirteenth Guest (1932) feat. Amanda Jane Stern

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 08:05:00 +0000

Prepare to get "potted" because we're discussing not just any murder, but a good murder in Albert Ray's confusing as all get-out 1932 murder mystery comedy The Thirteenth Guest! Tagging in for the conversation is Amanda Jane Stern, the co-writer/star of the new psychosexual thriller Perfectly Good Moment.

Join us as we try to figure out just what the hell is going on in this convoluted little film, which features an early Ginger Rogers performance (in a dual role, no less!). From electrified telephones to mysterious rooms without trap doors, there's just too much crammed into this film's extremely brief 69-minute runtime for it to make any kind of sense.

Plus: an absolutely horrifying colorized version of the film, a brother and his "roommate," and souls that look like the inside of vinegar bottles. Oh, and who in the hell is the titular thirteenth guest???

For our final week of Gay Divas and Anniversaries, we're revisiting Wes Craven's iconic 1984 franchise starter, A Nightmare on Elm Street for its 40th anniversary.

From discussions about why Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is *the* Final Girl to Fred(dy) Krueger's challenging backstory to the film's financial issues, this is the perfect capper to our two month theme.

Plus: Sta Awake & a carafe full of coffee, the possibility of a new entry in the series, Marge's ties to Black Christmas' Mrs. Mack, and NoES' perfect homage to The Shining. This film truly has it all!

Death Becomes Her (1992)

Spoon that icing out of the can and get ready for a lot of time jumps because "it" is awake in Robert Zemeckis' Death Becomes Her (1992). It's a smorgasbord of bitchery and high fashion in this delectable black comedy.

Join us as we marvel at the Oscar-winning special effects that are anything but "cheap" in this hilarious film starring two of Hollywood's greatest actresses (Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn) and a scene-stealing Bruce Willis.

Plus: fat suits, rock-like tits, floating nuns, beekeeper couture, and sex. Sex. Sex. En garde, bitches!

Ditch the school dance and come party with Angela because we're talking Kevin S. Tenney's Night of the Demons (1988).

Not a lot of character or plot in this one, but it's a really fun time with some stylish direction and great FX.

Plus: Angela as a dancing (nepo) icon, Linnea Quigley's line deliveries, Rodger as a rare black 80s horror survivor, and subverting the "good boy/bad boy" trope with Jay and Sal.

Join us as we do a deep dive into one of Elvis Presley's favorite films (yes, really!), praising Queen Barb (Margot Kidder) and marveling at the sheer progressiveness of the film. From abortion subplots to discussions of female agency, Black Christmas is one pretty, piggy picture that's a classic for a reason!

Micro Queers: Inherit The Witch (2024)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Mon, 7 Oct 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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.

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.

Birth (2004)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 22:15:00 +0000

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 Shults

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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!

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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.

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)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Sep 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Mon, 2 Sep 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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.

They discuss what constitutes a "Millennial Nasty," why the term Torture Porn should be retired, and how the 40+ titles in her book are connected by "Six Degrees of Saw-peration."

Critters (1986)

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 Scary

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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 Chambers

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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.

Along for a journey on The River is Serena Whitney, who remembers seeing the OG Unfriended back when it was called Cybernatural!

Plus: casual queer representation, a disabled damsel in distress, why none of these characters are stupid, the best/meanest death(s), a PSA about fake movie news, and - cue the Clue music - our ranking of all 4 endings.

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.

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!

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)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 07:05:00 +0000

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.

Micro Queers: Slay (2024)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 5 Jul 2024 07:05:00 +0000

What do you get when you cross From Dusk 'Til Dawn with To Wong Foo... or Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? Apparently you get Jem Garrard's better-than-it-should-be drag queen vs vampires Tubi film, Slay (2024). Spoiler: We both highly recommend this.

This is just fun! From four great RPDR queens playing actual characters, to beloved locals, to heartfelt (but not soap box-y) messaging, it's wild how well Slay works.

Plus: Adjusting to Crystal Methyd's Bella, ride or dying for Earl and Sheila, paying out for WAP, and our hopes for a sequel.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Jul 2024 12:15:23 +0000

Strap in for an aural assault because we're checking out Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) for its 35th anniversary. C/W: the cat dies.

This 67 minute black and white, nearly dialogue-free film is a wild and intense experience. It's also surprisingly queer! From a sexually dissatisfied hetero couple to men checking each other out during sex to M/M assimilation to jizzy fluids, it's not a reach to say the salary man and the metal fetishist are into each other.

And that's without even getting into the metal dick drill of it all!

Micro Queers: Birder (2023)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Mon, 1 Jul 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Burn your clothes and seek consent because we're talking about director Nate Dushku's sophomore feature, Birder (2023). Spoilers: we strongly recommend this one.

Think American Stranger by the Lake, complete with full frontal nudity and dangerous sex. But there's also plenty of dark comedy here, as well as sex positivity and diverse representation.

Plus: Michael Emery's amazing lead performance, a twisty in media res beginning, snapping turtles, and an ending that raises the film a whole half star.

Planet Terror (2007) feat. Bloody Broads

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Break out your good spring water and raise those limp wrists because we're talking the first half of Grindhouse in Robert Rodriguez's endlessly entertaining Planet Terror (2007). Bazooka-jumping into the conversation are Jamie and Bhavna of the Bloody Broads podcast!

Join us as we do a deep dive into the legacy of this film, including its notorious box office flop status, before heaping all the praise on its badass female characters (Rose McGowan and Marley Shelton). From changing history with Osama bin Laden to pushing all the limits of good taste, we've never seen anything like this film before....and we've been to Morocco!

Plus: that iconic machine gun leg, debating "bro films," plenty of pus (and pustules) and one hilarious child death.

Along for the ride is returning guest Dani Bethea, who has a Frightgown history with Elmore and this very fun film.

Strap in because not only does Joe have a surprising queer read, but we're fully defending the film's controversial Pinbacker/"slasher" last act.

Plus: a deep bench of international actors, Boyle's incredible visuals, a three year production development, and speculation about why this film was such a flop.

Join us as we dive in (ha ha) to this tale (ha ha) of a young girl who starts turning into a mermaid after getting her first period. From angsty teen antics (CW: sexual assault, self-harm) to questionable dietary changes, Blue My Mind is a fascinating journey into the mind of the teenage girl.

Plus: questioning some countries' ages of consent, one strict foreplay mantra, Joe's history as an arsonist(????) and the transgressive nature of on-screen menstrual blood.

Alien (1979)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 May 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Grab Jonesy the cat and prep the explosives because we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979).

This film is all about reproduction and gender (roles) from Sigourney Weaver's iconic performance as Ripley to the male rape of Kane to the evolving form of the Alien.

It's also an incredible technical feat, a take-down of capitalism, and a reason why you should never trust Ian Holm when he's dissecting.

Look out for UFOs and stay away from Froot Loops because we're discussing Gregg Araki's tender-yet-traumatizing adaptation Mysterious Skin (2004). Tagging in for the conversation is RogerEbert.com Assistant Editor and The Spool founder & EIC Clint Worthington.

Join us as we have many difficult conversations about a film filled to the brim with controversial subject matter. From Joseph Gordon Levitt and Brady Corbet's heartbreaking performances to the accurate depiction of the long-term effects of child sex abuse, there's no shortage of things to talk about.

Plus: a defense of the single working mother, praise for Michelle Trachtenberg, MPAA woes (again) and the journey of Scott Heim's source novel from page to screen.

Qualms about Sam Reid's accent aside, this show has everything: hot sex, unabashed queerness, race and class critiques, and Bailey Bass is as Claudia.

Joining us for the conversation is disability documentary filmmaker Ariel Baska, who has a love/hate relationship with the film and its contribution to "cripping up."

The Mummy (1999) feat. Bright Light Bright Light

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 May 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Don't read from the Book of the Dead and definitely don't pick up any of those Scarab jewels, because we're discussing Stephen Sommers' masterful action-adventure-horror-romantic-comedy The Mummy (1999), just in time for its 25th anniversary! Tagging in for the conversation is Welsh singer-songwriter Rod Thomas, aka Bright Light Bright Light!

Join us as we go all in on this summer blockbuster spectacle. From the bisexual energy of a perfectly cast Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz to a rather wild and incredibly lengthy production history (Clive Barker was involved???), we've got you covered on all things The Mummy!

Plus: how Babe: Pig in the City almost ruined Universal, an educational conversation about Rotten Tomatoes, and one major disagreement over a drunk acting scene!

Chucky Queers: S03E07 "There Will Be Blood"

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 07:05:00 +0000

In Chucky's penultimate season 3 episode, everyone is up to speed on all things Chucky, but it's time to check in with the man himself: Charles Lee Ray (the ghost version)! Things are looking pretty dire for everyone as we head into the finale, but we have thoughts!

eXistenZ (1999) feat. Vannah Taylor

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Lube up your industry standard bio-port because we're playing David Cronenberg's eXistenZ (1999) with someone friendly: Vannah Taylor!

David Cronenberg's meditation on the dangers of gaming and simulation is the middle entry of an unofficial trilogy. It's also a film that gets real confusing, real fast, so good luck figuring out if we're still in the game!

Plus: criticisms of a "bland" game world, praise for Jennifer Jason Leigh, Canadian royalty, comparisons to Serenity, disgusting gristle guns, and Pikul getting his back blown out (several times!)

Chucky returns for Part 2 of S03 and while we're unsure what the title "Death Becomes Her" refers to, we like this as a reintroduction.

There's a bit of Tilly, some cherry popping and some eye gouging.

Plus: is First Lady Charlotte gonna fuck Pryce? Will Henry team up with Caroline? And will Devon or Grant make it to S04?

An American Werewolf in London (1981) feat. Xero Gravity

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Try not to wolf out because we're talking about John Landis' classic, An American Werewolf in London (1981). Backpacking along with us is Xero Gravity, who went on a werewolf binge and has recommendations!

Up for discussion: Alex's underdeveloped character, urban set pieces, dirty movie theaters, and British rural horror.

Plus: a queer reading of David and Jack's relationship, Jewish horror, an unsexy sex scene, and extended tangents about werewolf anatomy.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) feat. Jordan Gustafson

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Apr 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Scratch out that passport photo and don't be boring because we're discussing Anthony Minghella's 1999 adaptation, The Talented Mr. Ripley! Tagging in for the conversation is Jordan Gustafson, the co-host of the Queer Quadrant Podcast!

Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's classic novel, from Matt Damon's stellar performance as evil twink Tom Ripley to Jude Law's massive cakes. The film also puts a heavier emphasis on Tom's queerness, so you know we'll have a lot to say about that!

Plus: homoerotic bathtub chess matches, a lengthy tangent on the Oscars, and a compulsive need for more Cate Blanchett.

The Invisible Man (1933)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 07:05:00 +0000

Strip naked and knock over a baby carriage because we're gleefully covering the Universal Monster with the biggest ego and the largest body count: James Whale's The Invisible Man (1933).

Hear about all of the adaptation problems with H.G. Wells' source material! Gasp at the way the FX were accomplished! Groan whenever Flora is onscreen doing absolutely nothing!

Plus: MVP Una O'Connor, Kemp's tragic/hilarious death, and a "dick out" queer reading

Join us as we celebrate all things Scooby-Doo with a deep dive into the film's plethora of monsters (including some that didn't make it into the final cut!), ponder what could have been in the cancelled Scotland-set third film, and debate whether or not this is actually a stealth prequel to the first film.

Plus, Velma's lesbian erasure, Seth Green's affinity for dating queer women, a controversial pay cut from Freddie Prinze Jr., a potential transphobic read and many, many more fart jokes.

We like this fine. The story is a bit too familiar, but the technical elements make up for that.

Plus: Julian Sands' last role, a gnarly kill scene, and wishing the Harbinger had more to do.

We're back in Hitchcock territory talking about queer villains again with 1951's Strangers on a Train.

In addition to queer author Patricia Highsmith's source material, we've got lead actor Farley Granger (Rope), obsessive stalking, "I like you" and shirt buttoning, plus climactic fucking on the carousel.

Plus: a tense tennis match, a reflective murder, slutty Miriam, frequent subversions, surprising comedy, and MVP Pat Hitchcock as Babs!

Personal Shopper (2016) feat. Ari Drew

Do not take your phone off Airplane mode because we're heading to Paris to discuss Olivier Assayas' Personal Shopper (2016). Helping us sift through this fascinating, dense film is Trace's better half (and frequent returning guest) Ari Drew!

Join us as we heap all the praise on Kristen Stewart before diving into all things supernatural (and technology!), linking the film to the recent wave of liminal horror films.

Plus: Joe "raps" (yes, really), fade-outs galore, the necessity of on-screen nudity, silly conversations about gorillas and one of the scariest scenes to come out of the 2010s.

Greta (2018) feat. Rachel Scanlon

Leave a purse on the subway and stick with us like chewing gum because we're talking about Neil Jordan's May/December stalker film, Greta (2018).

Hanging out in a trunk with us is comic Rachel Scanlon, who appreciates the film's sapphic hand play and lesbian dog-adopting energy.

Plus: wishing the film would go harder, Isabelle Huppert dance memes, texting thrills, useless men, comparable films, and Maika Monroe's Erica as the best roommate/wannabe girlfriend.

The Skin I Live In (2011)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 08:05:00 +0000

Try to keep up with all the plot twists and turns because we're discussing Pedro Almodóvar's genre-defying 2011 thriller The Skin I Live In. Heed all of the content warnings on this one, folks!

Join us as we discuss our relationship with Almodóvar before parsing through this complex film with a look at the accusations of misogyny, transphobia and transmisogyny that have been lobbied against it. It's an admittedly heavy conversation about a very challenging film (and we'd expect nothing less from Almodóvar).

Plus: unethical super skin, an actual Chekhov's Gun, book-to-film comparisons, gray moral areas and a rare instance in which we wish the film were longer!

Keep those stupendous fake tits out of the field of pot because we're talking Platinum Dunes' 2009 remake, Friday the 13th.

Joining us to tackle perfect nipple placement, underwhelming kills, and all things Willa Ford is filmmaker Amir Moini.

Up for discussion: is the remake really that bad? Are the tunnels a dealbreaker? Is *anyone* surprised that Whitney survives and Jenna dies?

Plus: praise for Aaron Yoo, the ~24 minute opener, blood and nudity in the "Final Cut," and a third swinging light death sequence!

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) feat. Amanda Jane Stern

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 7 Feb 2024 08:05:00 +0000

We apologize for the intelligence of our remarks, but we're delving into every gay man's worst nightmare (aging) in Albert Lewin's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Tagging in for the conversation is writer and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern, who turns out to be an enormous fan of the source material!

Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's only novel, but not before discussing the tragedy that is Wilde's life. We then discuss Hollywood's "straightening" of this very queer story, and bask in the glory of what is Angela Lansbury's third film role.

Plus, one very cruel Slut Test™, four stellar Technicolor shots (seriously), a presumably enormous confetti budget, Egyptian cat magic, one extremely unnecessary narrator and an even more unnecessary Gladys.

Re-Animator (1985)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 08:05:00 +0000

It's time to revisit H.P. Lovecraft with a dip into horror comedy/exploitation territory and Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator (1985). C/W: sexual assault and the cat dies (again and again)

We're praising Jeffrey Combs' perfect performance, the tricky tonal balance (including the Dr. Hill/Megan assault), and the gory practical FX in this mad doctor film.

Plus: a queer reading of Herbert and Dan, multiple editions, naked fight scenes, and why the film deserves to be seen with a crowd.

The Roommate (2011) feat. Ali Chappell

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 08:05:00 +0000

Put on your best fedora and pull that cat out of the dryer because we're discussing Christian E. Christiansen's teeny-bopper ripoff of Single White Female, The Roommate (2011)! Tagging in for the conversation is one of the film's superfans: Ali Chappell.

Join us as we try (TRY) to figure out who thought this movie was a good idea, because nearly nothing in this shameless ripoff works. From it's incredibly stupid lead character to its complete lack of tension, it's a real misfire. God bless Leighton Meester, though, who at least tries to do something with a nothing role.

Ultimately, The Roommate feels more like a business decision than an artistic one, which is a bummer given the cast that its working with. But hey, we've still got a semi-decent shower scene and a semi-thrilling climactic battle so....there's that?

The Covenant (2006)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 08:05:00 +0000

Q: What do you get when you cross The Lost Boys with The Craft but make it awful?

A: J.S. Cardone and Renny Harlin's The Covenant (2006), which features hot boy witches throwing globs of CGI semen at each other!

We have so much to say about this nonsense, including its overly complicated mythology and self-serious tone, villainous bisexual king Chase (played by Sebastian Stan), thankless damsels in distress, and addiction/gay allegories (paging Buffy S06).

Plus: insects vs spiders, throwing the script supervisor under the bus, and why Stephen McHattie should have had a bigger role!

Killer Condom (1996) feat. Josh Hurtado

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 08:05:00 +0000

Watch out for squeaky condoms and religious bigots because we're checking out Troma's German acquisition, Killer Condom (1996). Joining us for this wild ride is Josh Hurtado, who caught the film on the big screen back in the 90s!

Together we're unpacking 32 cm of cock, writer Ralf König's source material, the Mackeroni/Billy relationship, Babette's pronouns, Psycho homages, ridiculously stereotypical names, and the surprising progressiveness of this 90s film.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) feat. Bryan Christopher

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Jan 2024 08:05:00 +0000

Put on your best white suit because we've got a date with a bloody mattress in Tony Randel's Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988). Tagging in for the discussion is our forever-Hellraiser guest: Bryan Christopher!

Join us as we heap all the deserve praise on Clare Higgins' Julia Cotton, who finally gets her due in this spectacular sequel. Hellbound astounds with a bigger budget and more world building, but sometimes suffers from an unfocused kitchen sink approach that the first film wisely avoided.

Plus: humanizing the Cenobites, discussing what a "sex movie" is, Trace's unlikely remake proposition, Ashley Laurence's excellent "WTF" face and Julia's America's Next Top Model vortex challenge.

We're wrapping up the year with a look back at 2023. How do we feel about the state of horror and this year's trends? Which films dominated the cultural discussion, killed at the box office or got buried on streamers?

Then we reflect on the state of our podcast (top episodes, ones that deserve more attention and our fave Patreon episodes). Finally, we break down our top 15 films of 2023, plus a few honorable mentions.

And because it wouldn't be Horror Queers without a couple of fuck ups, we have a whole bunch of bloopers. Have fun at our expense and we'll see you in 2024!

Anna And The Apocalypse (2017)

We're tired of pretending that there's no such thing as a Rom Com Zom Musical!

The time has finally come to discuss John McPhail's Anna and the Apocalypse (2017), which has charming Scottish actors, a Canadian choreographer, and three (?!) different versions.

Plus: Joe's issue with villainous Mr. Savage, our fave songs, the sad Ryan Gosling connection, nearly good queer representation, and why we need more horror movie musicals pleeeeease

Inside (2007)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 08:05:00 +0000

Watch the road and finish your knitting project because we're delving back into the world of New French Extremity with a festive look at Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo's 2007 home invasion film Inside.

Join us as we laud lead actresses Béatrice Dalle and Alysson Paradis for their visceral performances before putting the film's narrative into the context of the 2005 French riots that serve as the background setting of the film.

Plus: a very emotive CGI fetus, the deadliest scissors you'll ever see, and some very incompetent law enforcement officers.

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Dec 2023 08:05:00 +0000

It's Giallo time so we, along with film critic Shelagh Rowan-Legg, are headed to Italy for Sergio Martino's Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (1972). C/W: sexual assault, incest, racism, and the cat dies.

Shelagh offers plenty of political and cultural knowledge of women's issues from the period, while Trace refreshes our memory of Edgar Allan Poe's source material, The Black Cat.

Plus: tender queer sex, multiple killers, sheep eyeballs, costume dresses, and a fiery finish

Hide your ChapStick and get off the damn bridge because we're heading into the world of high strangeness with a look at Mark Pellington's 2002 chiller The Mothman Prophecies (2002). Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and Trace's better half) Ari Drew!

Join us as we offer a brief primer on cryptids and why us queers often feel a special connection to them, before going all in on this stealth Christmas horror film. It's a more philosophical episode than usual, but that makes for some fascinating conversations.

Plus: diving into the true story the film is based on, Mothman's cakes (the butt kind), Richard Gere's magical 2002, creepy phone calls from Indrid Cold and one great hidden scare.

Let's derange the world because the profile doesn't fit the profile, which means that we're covering Barbet Schroeder's 2002 film Murder By Numbers. Tagging in for this lively conversation are Patrick and Gena of the Kill By Kill podcast.

Join us as we go all in on this "thriller" that's filled to the brim with queer overtones (courtesy of a baby Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt), while trying to figure out which of the two main storylines is the more interesting one. Bullock is innocent, though!

Plus: one very random baboon attack, absinthe etiquette, Claire Redfield's jacket, showy psychos, curtain bangs and a mind-bogglingly huge $50 million budget.

Week 2 of Toxic Masculinity month brings probably our most divisive film ever with 2008's Deadgirl. Extreme C/W: rape (and the dog dies!)

Thankfully we're joined by two extreme horror fans, Dax Ebaben and Mary Beth McAndrews, who help us ask the important questions.

Questions like: Who is this film for? What was the intent? And, most importantly, is it successful?

It's an unconventional episode with no easy answers, but it's a great conversation.

Funny Games (1997) feat. Justin Nordell

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 Nov 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Buckle up because we're kicking off "Toxic Masculinity Month" with a doozy: Michael Haneke's polarizing 1997 home invasion film Funny Games (but it's okay if you watched the remake instead because they're the exact same film). Helping us parse through these waters is Justin Nordell!

Join us as we offer a brief primer on Haneke before going all in on this twisted and cruel little film that holds a mirror up to its audience and makes us question the responsibility of media when it comes to violence. From the fourth wall breaks to the infamous rewind scene, Funny Games is one of the most satisfying, if infuriating, viewing experiences you're ever going to have.

Halloween 2 (2009) Director's Cut

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Look out for Ghost Mama and avoid death-magnet Laurie Strode because we are talking about Rob Zombie's much maligned Halloween 2 (2009). C/W: the dog dies.

The film has problems, but we're fond of its all-star cast (Brea Grant! Margot Kidder! Nurse Octavia Daniels!), as well as the film's surprisingly nuanced consideration of Final Girl PTSD.

Plus: MVP Danielle Harris and Annie's powerful death scene, human caricature Dr. Loomis, a misogynistic strip club scene, and all of the changes that makes the Director's Cut an improvement over the Theatrical Cut.

Micro Queers: Herd (2023)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Don't give that kid your whistle because we're discussing Steven Pierce's queer zombie(ish) action horror film Herd (2023), which is currently available on VOD.

Join us as we discuss the ways in which the film subverts standard zombie tropes in favor of a more human-focused story, led by two solid performances from Ellen Adair and Mitzi Akaha. There's a few pacing issues, but overall this is a solid entry into queer horror canon.

It's time to play catch-up with Tiffany and Nica in what's essentially an episode made up of a long series of flashbacks. We also get to find out exactly why Chucky is in the White House this season, and it's about as ridiculous as you'd expect!

Apt Pupil (1998) feat. Jenn Adams

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Keep the cat away from that Nazi and get ready to separate the art from the artist because we're discussing Bryan Singer's 1998 Stephen King adaptation Apt Pupil! Joining us for the discussion is The Losers' Club podcast co-host Jenn Adams!

Join us as we discuss the long road to getting this adaptation made before delving into the Bryan Singer of it all in an admittedly difficult and heavy conversation. Plus: the tragedy of Brad Renfro, David Schwimmer and his mustache wig, Ann Dowd(?!?!) and the always excellent Ian McKellen marching in an SS uniform.

We are also offering a content warning for this episode because we do discuss the sexual assault allegations against Bryan Singer in detail, so proceed with caution. And if you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, help is available:

Pee Yew! It may smell bad in Jesse and Jade's van, but our brand new audio commentary - recorded live for Soho Horror Fest back in July - is as fresh as Tiffany's Swedish meatballs.

Watch along with us as heap praise on Jennifer Tilly, debate why actors and directors distance themselves from horror, talk dolls vs human stand-ins, Don Mancini's meta humor, and debate if we want to see Heigl and Stabile return to the franchise.

We're talking Alice's ice pick murder, gay actor Tom McBride, skinny dipping, shit panties, a bombastic Manfredini score, Miner's excellent direction, and Ginny's epic last act chase sequence.

Chucky Queers: S03E01 "Murder at 1600"

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 5 Oct 2023 07:05:00 +0000

With a new season of Don Mancini's Chucky, we're back on the recap beat.

S03 kicks off with a mostly White House-set episode that introduces President Devon Sawa (and Lara Jean Chorostecki as the First Lady!) with only brief moments with our trio of kids (who are all social media stars now?)

It's tough to guess where we're going, but we're anticipating The Omen III, pay-off on the dead sibling storyline, and a trip to the Capitol for Devon, Lexy, and a suddenly beefy Jake.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Oct 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Watch your head because we're kicking off spooky season (and our 250th episode!) with a look at Tim Burton's extremely Halloween-y classic Sleepy Hollow (1999)! From Johnny Depp's effeminate interpretation of Ichabod Crane to Miranda Richardson's devilishly campy climactic performance, this movie has it all!

Join us as we praise, well, pretty much everything about Tim Burton's ode to Hammer Horror (and Disney's animated version of the story). But hey, the movie kills a kid! Plus: Elfman's score, bad wigs, eating the rich, and Joe teaching Trace what a trompe-l'œil is.

Stranger by the Lake (2013)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 07:05:00 +0000

We're wrapping up Erotic Thriller month with the gayest text of all: French writer/director Alain Guiraudie's Stranger by the Lake (2013).

This is one of Joe's favorite queer horror texts because it covers so many topics: cruising, sex and death, voyeurism, body image, gay microcosms, STIs, toxic relationship, homophobia, and gay friendships.

And that's before we tackle the unsimulated sex, discuss using condoms for blowjobs, debate the ambiguous ending(s), and cringe over pervy Eric.

Plus: finding Franck frustrating, moustache inspirations, naturalistic lighting and sound, and why Henri is our favorite character.

Put on a coat and get home before midnight because we're discussing Jacqueline Castel's lesbian werewolf romance My Animal (2023).

Join us as we sing the praises of Castel's eye for aesthetics and Bobbi Salvör Menuez's lead performance, while lamenting the film's extended runtime and muted payoff. Still, there's enough here to earn a (slight) recommendation, as it features another solid performance from Bodies Bodies Bodies' Amandla Stenberg.

Bound (1996) feat. Kay Lynch

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Get ready for a world of wet because we're continuing our month of erotic thrillers with a look at the Wachowski sisters' 1996 ovinal queer classic Bound! Tagging in for the conversation is the founder of Salem Horror Fest: Kay Lynch!

Join us as we kick things off with a brief discussion on the differences between noir and neo-noir before going all in on the casting drama that nearly cost us Jennifer Tilly! Then it's all (and we mean all) fair game as we analyze this masterpiece of queer cinema.

Plus: plenty of frank sexual conversations, femme tops, threatened masculinity, overhead shots galore, and all the praise for Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon's lead performances. And remember: Don't force the snake. Slow and easy does it.

Micro Queers: The Latent Image (2022)

Grab your camera and retreat to a cabin in the woods because we're discussing the feature version of Alexander McGregor Birrell's The Latent Image (2022).

This is quite similar to the short of the same name, with a few tweaks and a boyfriend for lead Ben (Joshua Tonks, guest on our BtVS episode "Once More, With Feeling). But while we're big fans of most of the technical elements (direction, acting, lighting, and set design), Trace struggles with the over-reliance on dream sequences/hallucinations.

A Simple Favor (2018) feat. Emily Gagne

Joining us is Dread Central writer and We Really Like Her co-host Emily Gagne, who needed a second screening of the film to warm to its bisexual charms.

Up for discussion: "pretty" girls Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, shockingly casual incest, Henry Golding's career as a side piece, why this film qualifies as an Erotic Thriller, and *lots* of tangents about women-centric performances and films, including Letterboxd's High Risers, Cruel Intentions, and Legally Blonde.

Dressed to Kill (1980) feat. Elizabeth Purchell

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Sep 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Grab your blonde wig, sunglasses and straight razor because we're kicking off a month of erotic thrillers with the grandaddy of them all: Brian De Palma's 1980 masterpiece Dressed to Kill! Joining us for the conversation is Austin-based queer film historian Elizabeth Purchell!

Join us as we trace the film's journey from the mind of De Palma to a protested and picketed controversy among feminists and members of the queer community. It's a film that's all style and some substance, but we'd be remiss if we didn't tackle the film's more divisive aspects.

Plus: "beaver shots," plenty of gay porn discussions, racist stereotypes, and the film's connections to Cruising.

Stoker (2013)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Get ready to play the piano all sexy like because we're discussing Park Chan-wook's English-language debut Stoker, which is based on a screenplay from queer screenwriter (and actor) Wentworth Miller(?!?!).

Join us as we discuss the film's journey from a Black List pick to a botched marketing campaign to an even more botched release. This is a shame, because Stoker is a film that oozes so much style that it elevates its baby Dexter plot, even if it could have used about 100% more Nicole Kidman.

Plus: one incredible hair-to-grass transition, camera weaves for days, the most demented sand angel you'll ever see and incest: the last universal taboo.

Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Return to camp with Michael A. Simpson's Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988) which finds Angela killing according to Aunt Martha's conservative moral code.

We're talking about Pamela Springsteen's performance (and Felissa Rose's absence), our love of Ally, and the film's status as a self-referential horror comedy.

Plus: the lack of short shorts, poor editing, Molly's end, and debates if the laughs subvert the "trans killer" trope.

Joining us is returning guest Lindsay Traves, who unpacks all of the Jewish elements from Shiva coffee to accusations of "Jew Face."

Plus: Dianna Agron's "shiksa goddess" and Jewish beauty ideals, tackling the depiction of sex work and bisexuality, Jewish character actors, and Sugaring apps.

Pray you don't get lost in the fog because we're heading to Jersey Island to discuss spooky ghost things in Alejandro Amenábar's 2001 film The Others! Joining us for the conversation is Nichole Goble, the host of the Bodies of Horror podcast!

Join us as we trace the origins of the film through Tom Cruise(???) and Dimension Films(??????) before going all in on the atmospheric charms of this Gothic horror gem. From Nicole Kidman's powerful performance, to a look at the film through a lens of disability, we've got you covered.

Plus: much discussion on Catholicism and the afterlife, the not-always-clear rules of the film, and the happiest version of filicide you'll ever find in a horror film.

Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) feat. Carter Smith

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 2 Aug 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Grab your camera and get ready to scream because we're talking about Irvin Kerschner's Eyes of Laura Mars (1978). Joining us to discuss the fashion, the photography, and the hot 70s men is director and returning guest Carter Smith.

We're obsessed with the glitz and the glamor of this John Carpenter-scripted film, even if we have qualms about the romance between Faye Dunaway's title character and police officer Tommy Lee Jones.

Plus: wasting Raul Julia, lesbian models, real life famous fashionistas, Carter's experiences on set, and our contemporary Euro"peen"-set sequel.

All About Evil (2010) feat. Jesse Krempel

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Don't piss yourself while you stuff the corpses in the attic because we're having a gay old time discussing show business (the business of show) in Joshua Grannell's/Peaches Christ's 2010 horror comedy All About Evil. Joining us for the discussion is Jesse Krempel, the host of the Cult Cinema Circle podcast!

Join us as we revisit this campy gem that was very difficult to find until recently. We heap all of the praise on Natasha Lyonne's absolutely unhinged lead performance, while commending Grannell on his filmmaking craft.

Plus: Elvira out of drag, punny film titles, lots of Thomas Dekker worship, and wondering whether or not Trace knows the word "exorbitant."

Psycho (1960)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 07:05:00 +0000

After tackling its two sequels, we're finally crossing off a classic with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960).

Turns out we have a ton to say in this supersized episode, which makes sense considering the film is technically masterful, features iconic sequences and boasts two stellar lead performances.

Plus: a 'pregnant' production history, Baters and momism, Gus Van Sant's 1998 shot for shot remake, and a variety of (queer) readings of Norman Bates.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021) feat. Reyna Cervantes

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Be on the lookout for clues because we're headed back to Escape Room with Adam Robitel's sequel, Tournament of Champions (2021). With the help of returning guest Reyna Cervantes, we're discussing both the Theatrical, as well as the Extended Cut of the film (jump ahead to the ~1hr 10min mark to hear about the new beginning and end!)

Expect Minos-levels of conspiracy as we try to figure out the timeline and rationale for the two cuts.

Plus: our fave new characters and traps, retconning the original film's end, needing more Isabelle Fuhrman and James frain, and what we want in a possible third entry (and why it definitely *won't* be rated R)

Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) feat. The Boulet Bros.

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Jul 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Don't be a miserable, ungrateful bitch because we're discussing James Wan's 2013 film Insidious: Chapter 2 in preparation for Patrick Wilson's upcoming sequel Insidious: The Red Door! Tagging in for the conversation are the hosts of Shudder's most watched series The Boulet Brothers' Dragula: Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet!

Join us as we try to figure out why a horror film released in 2013 would repurpose the plot of Sleepaway Camp for a modern audience, while appreciating the camp factor of this fascinatingly wacky sequel. What makes sense? What doesn't? We try really hard to figure it out!

Plus: a dub job for the ages, baby stunts, cheating lesbian mamas, true San Francisco realness and some of the best embalming techniques you're likely to find in a horror film. It's gonna be a cisgustingly good time!

Micro Queers: Bad Girl Boogey (2022)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 4 Jul 2023 07:05:00 +0000

We're back with a fresh Micro Queers on Australian trans teen filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay's queer slasher film, Bad Girl Boogey (2022).

We would have liked more time with these characters (and maybe a longer runtime overall), as well as a stronger killer reveal, but the film's musicality, its DIY aesthetic, and the fact that Mackay has made an unapologetically queer film is worth celebrating.

The Hitcher (1986)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 07:05:00 +0000

Our mothers told us never to do this but we just couldn't resist so we're having an in-depth discussion of Robert Harmon's 1986 classic The Hitcher. Join us as we discuss the gay panic of it all in this queer-coded cautionary tale. From Rutger Hauer's predatory queer to C. Thomas Howell's virginal twink, The Hitcher has it all!

Plus: the film's origins as a 190-page(???) script, lots and lots of saliva play, ferryman/fairy man and getting your car all kinds of wet.

Bad Hair (2020) feat. Carolyn Mauricette

Don't wig out, but prepare for a whiter-- *ahem* WIDER audience, because we're discussing Justin Simien's horror comedy Bad Hair (2020)! Weaving her way into this discussion is Fantasia International Film Festival programmer and horror journalist Carolyn Mauricette!

Join us as we try to figure out the many, many things this film is trying to do, praising the intent behind most of the creative decisions while lamenting the confused execution. Is it self-aware camp? Is it self-serious horror? Is it wasting Vanessa Williams? ....Yes?

Micro Queers: Jagged Mind (2023)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 07:05:26 +0000

Micro Queers is back with a spoiler-filled dive into director Kelly Kali's Jagged Mind (2023), the Hulu feature adaptation of screenwriter Allyson Morgan's Bite Sized Halloween short First Date.

We're big fans of lead actors Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Shannon Woodward, who are imminently watchable in this time loop relationship thriller, though the narrative is a touch repetitive and we have questions about how the magic works.

Still: queer horror where the representation just is? It's a Pride miracle.

Hereditary (2018) feat. Girl, That's Scary

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 07:05:08 +0000

Avoid triangles and watch your head because we're talking Ari Aster's Hereditary (2018) aka the film that we named our horror awards after!

We're joined by mega fans Jazz and Kat from Girl, That's Scary, who love the film, but wonder if Aster is ok?

It's all about Toni Collette's "bad mom", but also shout-outs to Alex Wolff and Ann Dowd.

Plus: a trans reading of Paimon, Dante's Inferno, secret clues, skittering and turkey noises, and the perils of making deals with the 8th King of Hell

Join us as we explore the "intense science-fiction terror" (thanks, MPA) of a land in which dinosaurs are capable of changing their biological sex!

Plus: a look at the revolutionary effects in the film, lots of Marvel talk, Deep Blue Sea comparisons and some horrible attempts at imitating the velociraptor calls.

Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) feat. Erick Lorinc

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 31 May 2023 07:05:56 +0000

Prepare your tiny little puppet hands because we're discussing Stewart Raffill's cult classic Tammy and the T-Rex (1994). Along for the ride is director Erick Lorinc, who is such a super fan of the film that he's cried watching it!

This is a very funny, silly, and surprisingly heartfelt film with a genuinely good performance from Denise Richards.

Plus: gay best friend Byron and homophobic cops, ejaculating brains, worshipping Helga and Wendy, the Gore Cut vs the PG-13 cut, and sequels/spin-offs we would watch in a heartbeat.

Join us as we try our best to analyze this admittedly dense film, with discussions on how it works as an adaptation, the casting controversy, the likability of certain characters and (of course) that weird as hell climax.

Plus: refraction action, horrifying mutated bears, cancer metaphors and one giant soap bubble.

Elephant (2003)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 May 2023 07:05:20 +0000

Just in time for its 20th Cannes anniversary, we're talking about gay director Gus Van Sant's Elephant (2003) which takes a fictional docuseries approach to the Columbine massacre. C/W for anyone involved in a (school) shooting.

Expect a lot of talk about the film's technical elements: the long takes, the dispassionate violence, the use of non-professional actors in a real school, and the lack of a conventional beginning/middle/end.

Plus: nuanced queer inclusion, debate about Gus Van Sant's "message", praise for Ebert's review, and Trace's thoughts on Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine.

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962) feat. Tyrone Williams

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 May 2023 07:05:48 +0000

Chop up those rats and tomatoes and practice your vaudeville act because we're joined by guest Tyrone Williams to discuss Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962).

Obviously the "feud" looms large over this film, so Trace has done a mega deep dive into the careers of both Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, this production and what followed.

Plus: overusing the word "cloche", Oscar talk, a neat vs on the rocks hard liquor tangent, accusations of familiarity, a queer reading of Edwin, and debate about whether Blanche lives or dies.

Night of the Creeps (1986) feat. Patrick Walsh

Cindy! Brad's here! And don't let him fondle your breasts because the slugs are invading, which means we're discussing Fred Dekker's delightfully sweet sci-fi comedy horror film Night of the Creeps (1986)! Joining us for the conversation is Patrick Walsh, the host of the ScreamQueenz podcast!

Join us as we discuss the film's botched release before we go all in on a queer reading of JC (Steve Marshall) as the film's "gay best friend." Plus: disabled representation, two different endings, one very resourceful slug-infested dog and why "purée" is the gayest button on the blender.

Prometheus (2012) feat. My Bloody Judy

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 07:05:33 +0000

We're celebrating Alien Day with Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, Prometheus (2012), a film that sparks plenty of debate with guests Ian Carlos and Zach Patton-Garcia of My Bloody Judy.

This is a beautiful, divisive film, filled with heady philosophical questions about life and religion, and also scientists who take off their helmets on alien planets and can't run left or right.

Plus: Charlize Theron hate from Zach, mouth rape, Honest Trailer reactions, gays who can't do math, why Vickers deserved to live, and lots of talk about (former episode) Alien: Covenant and the two Alien vs Predator films.

Ganja & Hess (1973) feat. Brother Ghoulish

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 07:05:35 +0000

Grab your body glitter and avoid the shadow of the cross because we're talking Bill Gunn's Ganja & Hess (1973) for its 50th anniversary! Along for the ride is Brother Ghoulish himself, Ryan Kinney, who brings keen insight into the intersection between colonialism, vampirism and religion.

Plus: celebrating Marlene Clark's iconic performance, the film's visualization of black bodies, debating the villainy of the titular characters, Gunn's status as a black gay filmmaker in the 70s, and Trace's disgust over brushing your teeth in the bath.

The Hunger (1983) feat. Jess from Spinsters of Horror

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 07:05:27 +0000

Wipe that sherry off your tit and dust off those human husks in your attic because we're discussing Tony Scott's feature directorial debut: the 1983 lesbian vampire (and David Bowie!) movie The Hunger! Joining us for the conversation is Jess, one half of The Spinsters of Horror!

We aren't saying the word "vampire" (something something Egypt and aliens?), but who could care when the movie is such a vibe? We'll refute the claims of "style over substance," while marveling over the central performances of Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve.

Plus, David Bowie in old age makeup, making cigarettes look sexy, debating the male gaze and a lesson in serial monogamy and codependency.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Apr 2023 07:05:46 +0000

Ready for uncomfortable laughter? Welcome to the world of Yorgos Lanthimos and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017).

Pulling from Euripides' Greek tragedy "Iphigenia in Aulis," this divisive film deftly balances pitch black, absurd comedy (children falling! Uncomfortable sex talks!) with horrifying moral dilemmas and dread (children dying!).

Plus: misunderstanding kink and incest, monotone line deliveries, female passivity and male narcissism, bad (?) singing, and all of the times we laughed and probably shouldn't have.

Pull that metal rod out of your gut and embrace your queer rage because we're discussing Stephen Dunn's phenomenal(ly queer) 2015 film Closet Monster. Joining us for the discussion is Joe's good friend Jonathan Hough!

Listen as we sing all the praises for Connor Jessup, who commands the screen in all of his scenes. We also discuss the film's handling of internalized homophobia via body horror and argue about which of Oscar's parents is worse,

Plus: Buffy the hamster, how to pronounce Xavier Dolan's name, gay tests, lots of personal testimonies and some ticker ideas for Fox News should they decide to listen to this episode.

Ready for an original creature feature with practical effects and surprisingly great character work? Allow us to introduce you to (maybe queer?) director Toby Wilkins' Splinter (2008).

We're big fans of this film, which boasts charismatic performances from its central trio, great creature work and smart use of its mostly single gas station location.

Plus: camping talk, the rom com cut, music video editing, and zombie walks.

Wild Things (1998) feat. The People Under the Scares

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 07:05:46 +0000

Get ready for an episode filled with overshares because we're talking the hot & steamy sexual politics of John McNaughton's 1998 classic Wild Things! Joining us for the conversation are the hosts of the People Under the Scares podcast: Bobby Torrez and Mike Brown!

Put your thinking caps on as we try to pick apart this tangled web of a(n admittedly entertaining) plot while lamenting the exclusion of a key queer relationship and the inclusion of Neve Campbell's climactic wig. Oh yeah, and Kevin Bacon's iconic full frontal nude scene.

Plus: false rape accusations, prosthetic pussy, penis casts, cum vs. come and a deleted scene that completely changes the way you view the film (hint: it involves incest!).

The Haunting (1963) feat. Robyn Adams

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 Mar 2023 08:05:59 +0000

Lock the bedroom door and be mindful of whose hand you're holding because we're headed to Hill House with Robert Wise's 1963 adaptation of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting. Along for the ride is Robyn Adams, who is a huge fan of the material and brings with her vital knowledge of the book.

Up for debate: how predatory is lesbian Theo? Is Nell queer-coded? And is her relationship to Dr. Markway an attempt to throw off censors?

Plus: loving Mrs. Dudley, Joe's silver lining read of the sad ending, Trace's appreciation of rococo styling, and pushing back against complaints that the audience doesn't see anything

Wolf (1994)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 08:05:24 +0000

We're gonna get you, Stewart, because we're closing out Weird Sex Month with a look at Mike Nichols' sometimes boring, sometimes hilarious, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes slow motion and always baffling 1994 film Wolf.

Join us as we try to figure out how this thing got made, as it's a complete tonal and genre mishmash that doesn't always work, but it's never anything less than fascinating to watch. Don't worry, we go all in on the film's many production troubles.

Plus: watersports, penis POV, a miscast Jack Nicholson, Magical Indigenous Character, doggy style sexual assault (yes, really), publishing house drama and some very twitchy ears. This movie is...something.

We're cracking our knuckles in anticipation of Michelle Garza Cervera's feature debut Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022), which tackles pregnancy and post-partum in ways that are comparable to The Babadook and Hypochondriac.

Featuring a stunning lead performance by newcomer Natalia Solián, Huesera has great foley work, some good jump scares, and lots to say about queerness and motherhood.

Plus: a different kind of fridging scene and an ending that we want to hear from parents about

Yes, this is the infamous "Justin Long gets turned into a Walrus" movie and we have plenty of thoughts on his early douchebag performance, Michael Parks' epic monologues, the fetish-y Mr. Tusk skin suit, and...oh right, Johnny Depp's grating (or funny?) supporting performance.

Plus: what the hell is a sex fetish act called The Whistling Walrus?

Put down that carving knife and pull out that tentacle monster because we're heading all the way to divided Berlin to discuss Andrzej Żuławski's loud and proud 1981 masterpiece Possession! Joining us for the conversation is Losers' Club and Psychoanalysis Podcast co-host Jenn Adams!

Join us as we sing all the praises for Isabelle Adjani's mesmerizing performance (if you've seen the subway scene, you know why) before trying to pick apart every single bit of emotion that this film exudes. And it's...a lot.

Plus: hot Sam Neill, deranged rocking, gay detectives, dirty-ass feathers, a queer reading of Heinrich and so, so so many slaps. Are we dealing with Sister Faith or Sister Chance? You tell us!

Ready for invagination? For the first week of 'Weird Sex Month,' we're returning to Canada to discuss David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983), just in time for its 40th anniversary.

Expect body horror courtesy of FX master Rick Baker, communications theory courtesy of Marshall McLuhan, and oversharing about anatomy courtesy of Trace Thurman.

Plus: wanting more Debbie Harry, feminist and trans readings of Max's situation, talk of the alternate ending, Canadian history lessons, and just how many Americans have guns?

Micro Queers: L.A. AIDS Jabber (1994)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 08:05:02 +0000

We're dropping a special bonus review of Visual Vengeance's new Blu of 1994 thriller L.A. AIDS Jabber.

Up for discussion: is this exploitation film sleazy enough and is it good or bad that queer people don't seem to exist?

Plus: low budget filmmaking, changing characters and motivations, Joe's husband's odd personal connection, and how an HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence.

Micro Queers: Exploited (2022)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 08:05:36 +0000

Cover your webcams and watch out for tasers because we're talking Jon Abrahams' Exploited (2022). C/W: sexual assault.

This indie film features male nudity in two minutes, boys in singlets and Leah FUCKING Pipes running around in lingerie. It's also got about 12 storylines, uneven acting and far too many twists in the surprisingly dark last act.

Basically: she's a messy bitch that tries to tackle too much, but Exploited is so explicitly queer, pro-sex and unabashedly wild that we had to cover it. It won't be for everyone, but if you're willing to take the ride, we hope you enjoy the batshit insanity.

House of Wax (2005)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 08:05:10 +0000

We are not here to see Paris die but we are here to discuss Jaume Collet-Serra's mean and stylish 2005 remake House of Wax (and yes, we know it has more in common with Tourist Trap)! Wanna see what happens when a really dumb slasher script gets a $40 million budget thrown at it? This is it!

Join us as we discuss the film's controversial "See Paris Die!" marketing campaign (and the emotional toil it may have taken on Ms. Hilton) before going all in on this 2005 time capsule that fell in that awkward period for horror between post-Scream slashers and torture porn.

Plus: twincest, Penny Can, sexy super glue blowing, a fiery finale and an unexpected(?) queer reading of Chad Michael Murray's Nick.

Oh, and here's the link to the 5-part documentary series Movie Life: House of Wax that aired on MTV the month before the film was released. It's...something.

Crimson Peak (2015) feat. Greg Mucci

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 08:05:58 +0000

Don't drink the tea and always listen to ghosts because we are crossing the pond to discuss Guillermo del Toro's Gothic Romance film, Crimson Peak (2015).

Along for the ride is returning guest Greg Mucci, who loves this film, but can't deny that the love and mystery portions don't always work.

Plus: aggressive hand-jobs, Stephen King pull quotes, gorgeous set and costume design, Mimic slander, and did Trace and Joe even watch the movie?

Safe (1995) feat. Andrew Scahill

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 08:05:49 +0000

Why do you think you're sick? Well you better find out because we're discussing Todd Haynes' (not Todd Solondz's) 1995 AIDS allegory Safe! Joining us for the discussion is returning guest Andrew Scahilll!

Join us as we discuss Julianne Moore's heartbreaking performance before going all in on the social commentary that Haynes weaves into the film. From the mundane aspects of suburban life to the dangers of joining a cult built around the concept of self-blame, we've got it all! Plus: milk vendettas, all fruit diets, Beth Grant(!!!), igloos and allergic reactions to heteronormativity.

The Perfection (2019) feat. Mae Shults

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Jan 2023 08:05:36 +0000

Don't adjust your feed: we're redoing Richard Shepard's twisty 2019 secret rape/revenge film, which drew criticism when we covered it in our first year.

Joining us is musician and Halloweenies editor Mae Shults for a discussion that veers between heavy, confessional and dumb. We're talking real life sexual assault, pooping our pants and guessing the pop culture moment the film's wig reveal is referencing.

Plus: debating the responsibility of art (and other criticisms from reviews), praising the performances, and questioning the catharsis of the ending

Into the Dark: "Midnight Kiss" (2019)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 08:05:11 +0000

Surprise! We're celebrating New Year's by unlocking the Patreon vault and releasing our 2019 episode on the gayest slasher film ever made: Hulu's Into the Dark entry "Midnight Kiss" (yes, it's even gayer than Hellbent).

Directed by former Horror Queers guest Carter Smith (see our episode on The People Under the Stairs) and written by queer screenwriter Erlingur Thoroddsen (Rift), "Midnight Kiss" follows a group of gay friends and their "fruit fly" as they are stalked by a mysterious killer wearing a pup mask!

Up for discussion is, well, a lot. We're talking condoms, PrEP, gay stereotypes, Grindr, cocaine, molly, gay sex positions and so much more! So grab the nearest bottle of poppers and join us for this wild ride!

The Human Santapede feat. Scarred for Life & Brother Ghoulish

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 23 Dec 2022 08:05:17 +0000

We're celebrating the holidays with a dramatic reading of selected excerpts of Adam Millard's 2014 ebook The Human Santapede, which is pretty much exactly what you expect. Featuring the vocal talents of Terry Mesnard and Mary Beth McAndrews of Scarred for Life and Ryan Kinney of Brother Ghoulish's Tomb, strap in for an offensive romp as Krampus tries to destroy Christmas and his nemesis, Santa, by constructing an (In)Human Santapede. Plus: Enjoy the flubs and fuck ups!

Big thanks (?) to HQ Book Club member Juha for bringing this to our attention.

The Last of Sheila (1973) feat. Michael Varrati

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:05:03 +0000

Give us a glass of water and a couple of lesbians because we're joining two iconic queens Anthony Perkins (yes, that one) and Stephen Sondheim (yes, that one) for an evening of games, bitchery and murder in 1973's The Last of Sheila! Joining us for the conversation is the co-host of the Midnight Mass Podcast: Michael Varrati!

We go all in on this complex murder mystery/Hollywood satire filled with a cast of pretty reprehensible characters (in the words of our guest: it's a problematic scenario populated by problematic people) while admiring the sheer audacity of Perkins and Sondheim's clever script.

Plus: hot Ian McShane, Angela Lansbury tea, Raquel Felch, a "little child molester" who technically wins the movie, and a surprising fact about Joel Schumacher!

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 08:05:46 +0000

Zip up your ski jackets and look for the sanitarium on the ridge because we're talking about the origin story of the Hillicker brothers with Declan O'Brien's 2011 prequel, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings.

Don't worry if you haven't seen the other films; the most confusing part of this movie is keeping its cast of generic (white) actors apart (Vincent or Kyle? Jenna or Kenia?) Thankfully we've got great practical gore to make up for terrible acting and characterizations.

Plus: the shocking truth about the CGI, explicit lesbian sex scenes, Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions, and why we mean it as a compliment when we say this film is stupid fun.

25 Reasons We Love Scream 2

We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Scream 2 (1997) with a special bonus episode outlining twenty-five random reasons we love the horror sequel.

From the obvious quotes and iconic chase sequences to the unusual sound cues and songs that Trace can't remember, it was hard to narrow the list down to just 25.

But we're guessing that - unlike Mickey's claim - you will be able to see our #1 choice coming.

Batman & Robin (1997) feat. Kill By Kill

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 7 Dec 2022 08:05:53 +0000

Please don't send us to the cooler because we're continuing an annual December tradition by covering a Batman film! Only this time it's Joel Schumacher's 1997 disaster Batman & Robin. Joining us for the conversation are return guests Patrick and Gena of the Kill By Kill podcast!

Join us as we try to figure out exactly what happened with this *waves hands frantically* thing. We go all in on what works (Uma! Colorful lighting!) and what doesn't (pretty much everything else) about this much-maligned Batman film. Stay cool, everyone!

Cat People (1942) feat. Dr. Heather Petrocelli

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 08:05:40 +0000

Get ready for Big Cat action because we're tackling another Val Lewton film: 1942's Cat People. Joining us with incredible insights courtesy of her (forthcoming) book Queer For Fear is Dr. Heather Petrocelli.

We're talking about the power and legacy of subtextual queer horror, how Otherness intermingles with queerness, why you shouldn't hate Alice too much (but Oliver needs to die), and the infamous Lewton bus and pool scenes.

Plus: film noir lighting, the return of The Seventh Victim's predatory Dr. Judd, and comparisons to the 80s remake (Tits! Incest! Malcolm McDowell!)

Chucky S02E08: 'Chucky Actually'

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 08:05:13 +0000

We're wrapping up S02 of Don Mancini's Chucky with a new slate of cliffhangers and questions, including: was GG voiced by Seed of Chucky's Billy Boyd and will we ever see Lachlan Watson again? Is Devon and Jake's relationship on sturdier ground (and why didn't they fuck?!) Will Caroline be aged up or killed off?

Plus: the second best death of the season, thoughts on the Dr. Mixter retcon, questions about the heart of Damballa and playful references back to the original Child's Play

Addams Family Values (1993) feat. nicksaysboo

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 08:05:36 +0000

Make sure you've got a Ballerina Barbie instead of a Malibu Barbie because we're going toe-to-toe with the delicate and graceful Debbie Jellinsky in Barry Sonnenfeld's superb sequel Addams Family Values (1993)! Joining us for the discussion is Nick of the nicksaysboo YouTube reaction channel!

After we briefly discuss the first film's production woes, we go into the many reasons how the sequel improves upon nearly every aspect of the already wonderful original film. This is, of course, mainly due to Christina Ricci's expanded role and the introduction of a delightfully unhinged performance from Joan Cusack.

Plus: political commentary, the joys of being privileged, reading the Addams's as a queer family unit, and what might be the best Thanksgiving play ever put on stage. Don't trust Sarah Miller, y'all.

We're continuing our coverage of S02 of Don Mancini's Chucky with a discussion on the penultimate episode which, to be honest, feels like a season finale! So many loose ends are tied up in this episode, but how does it all come together? We have thoughts!

Perfect Blue (1997) feat. Jenny Nulf

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:05:56 +0000

We're dipping into the world of animation with Satoshi Kon's gorgeous debut feature, Perfect Blue (1997). Joining us is returning guest Jenny Nulf, who schools us on Japan's Pop Idol culture. C/W: sexual assault

Get ready for doppelgängers, disorienting dream-like imagery and commentary on the male gaze and fandom. Plus: multiple readings of the ending, tracing how language shifts over time, Trace's struggle with nudity & mature content in animated fare, and more on Joe's childhood imaginary friend.

Chucky S02E06: 'He Is Risen Indeed'

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 08:05:45 +0000

We're barreling towards the Chucky S02 finale as the characters come together. But is it all happening too quickly? We're still trying to figure out the endgame as several characters are dispatched, Dr. Mixter makes her move, and Kyle, Nica and Glenda hit the road.

Plus: our apprehension about the Sister Ruth development, Don Mancini's delight in hurting the adult cast and how we feel about that final death.

Starship Troopers (1997)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 9 Nov 2022 08:05:22 +0000

Grab your bug spray because we're heading to the alien bug planets of Klendathu and Planet P to satirize the fascists in Paul Verhoeven's adaptation of Robert Heinlein's controversial novel Starship Troopers!

Join us as we go over the film's lengthy (lengthy) production history before diving into the film's political commentary that 1997 critics and audiences just didn't seem to detect. Is it subtext? Or is it text? We aim to find out!

Knives and Skin (2019) feat. Princess Weekes

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 2 Nov 2022 07:05:55 +0000

Prep your 80s New Wave acapella and your dead girl tropes because we're talking Jennifer Reeder's Knives and Skin (2019). Helping us search for the body is The Mary Sue's Princess Weekes, who offers invaluable insight into the costuming of WOC in this female-centric text. This is an unconventional episode for an unconventional film, which is much more of a vibe than a straightforward murder mystery.

Plus: why Mrs. Harper is so empathetic, messy clown sex, Reeder's interest in female agency, wet ass pussy papers, admiring a film even if you struggle with it, and smelling teen boys' t-shirts.

Interview: Author Kier-La Janisse on House of Psychotic Women

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 07:05:37 +0000

In honor of the 10th anniversary expanded edition of her iconic text House of Psychotic Women, we sat down with author Kier-La Janisse (also the award-winning documentary filmmaker of Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror). Our connection was shaky (hence some spotty audio), but we asked Kier-La about the reception (then and now) of the book, which films readers should prioritize and why we're unlikely to see a HoPW documentary series in the future.

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) feat. Jinkx Monsoon

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 07:05:32 +0000

Happy Halloween, everyone! Load up your leopard-print convertible because we're heading to the good, decent town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to appraise Aunt Morgana's house, book and dog in 1988's tit-filled camp classic Elvira: Mistress of the Dark! Joining us for this delightful conversation is two-time RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon!

Join us as we give an Elvira primer before discussing the origins of Mistress of the Dark and diving into its botched release that all but assured we'd never get an Elvira sitcom (where the fuck was Fox???). But hey, at least she's not just a great set of boobs. She's also an incredible pair of legs!

Plus, evil Russian wizards, magical rings, demonic dogs, babies born with makeup, penis snakes and the joys of a queer, feminist icon who owns her sexuality. Déjà Vu!

The Invitation (2015)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 07:05:08 +0000

We're celebrating episode 200 with a five star film: Karyn Kusama's masterful The Invitation (2015).

Every aspect of this film is sheer perfection (direction, editing, score, lighting, screenplay and acting). We're obsessed with the layered and nuanced depiction of grief, Will as an unreliable protagonist, terrifying character actor John Carroll Lynch and the glorious house porn.

Plus: speculation about the after life, why Kira wins Best Girlfriend, good queer representation, as well as blow and blowjobs. Oh, and Trace ruins the film with a Claire tidbit. It's a masterclass!

Porno Queers: 'The Ring' Parody 'The Hole' (2003)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 07:05:11 +0000

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

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Ring (2002), we're checking out Wash Westmoreland's gay porn parody, The Hole (2003), starring Tag Eriksson, Josh Hammer, Jason Adonis, Derec Lang, Adam Killian,T.J. Hart and Trent Atkins as Gangbang Boy.

Join us as we break down this 1 hour 50 minute (!) narrative, which features a future Bravo reality TV star, an Anthony Starr from The Boys lookalike, a "cum!" chanting bukkake scene and gently homophobic and/or hilariously satirical take-downs of gay culture and stereotypes. Plus: the soft core version and why the bisexual fantasy scene works best for us!

Chucky S02E02: 'The Sinners Are Much More Fun'

We're in disagreement about the second episode of S02: Trace likes how quickly things are advancing, while Joe is frustrating by the lack of Devon & Jake content. All of the "Jennifer Tilly" & Nika stuff, though? Comedy gold! And what to make of Nadine and the arrival of Glen/Glenda?

Basic Instinct (1992) feat. The Queer Quadrant

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 07:05:42 +0000

Check under the bed for ice picks because we're tackling Paul Verhoeven and Joe Eszterhas' notorious 1992 Erotic Thriller/neo-noir, Basic Instinct. Along for trips to the gay bar and the beach house are Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson from The Queer Quadrant podcast, who provide a very welcome bisexual perspective in a film accused of biphobia and misogyny.

Plus: our obsession with the sequel Risk Addiction, ties to The Silence of the Lambs and Cruising, cocaine and cum, Catherine (and Sharon Stone) as a queer icon, a stacked cast of male character actors, and why you can't wear a sweater to the gay bar!

A Chucky Extravaganza! feat. Don Mancini

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 07:05:19 +0000

Sorry, Jack...Chucky's back! With the second season of Chucky premiering on SyFy next week, we thought we'd take a look back at the franchise that spawned the successful television series. And who better to walk us through memory lane than the creator of the franchise himself: Don Mancini!

Join us as we do a deep dive into the franchise with Mancini (specifically the entries from Bride of Chucky and onward), covering all manner of topics like, oh, we don't know, turning one of the biggest horror franchises into a super queer empowerment story?

We discuss things like "too much Jennifer Tilly" (what?!), the return of Glen/Glenda (and why they've been absent from the franchise for almost 20 years), retcons, Britney Spears, Katherine Heigl and how Hannibal paved the way for the Chucky series. Not watching Chucky? Chucky says "move your ass" and hop to it!

Prepare your red rope costume and spread open that chest vagina because we're heading to divided Berlin in 1977 to discuss Luca Guadagnino's remake of Dario Argento's classic horror film Suspiria! Joining us for the conversation is Trace's better half Ari Drew, who is cashing in his annual guest spot ticket!

Join us as we go all in on the film's disastrous release strategy before providing a crash course on the film's historical context that absolutely enriches the dense and layered text. Then we'll offer up a plethora of different interpretations of the film's themes and plot developments.

Plus: our thoughts on Argento's original film, juicy matriarchs with baby arms, Volk, Tilda's triple threat and...lots of Disney connections (specifically Hercules and Sleeping Beauty)???

The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program: Night at Howling House

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 07:05:09 +0000

Here's a taster of the latest series from The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program entitled "Night at Howling House." The pod hails from our guest Cat Blackard (recently heard on 'The Lighthouse').

If you like what you hear, check out https://cthulhumystery.com/ or listen anywhere you get podcasts.

Here's the description:

The lazy days of summer are at an end and school is about to begin... but for five Arkham youths, reading, writing, and 'rithmetic is the least of their worries. They're spending the night in a notorious abandoned house and local legends say no one has ever lived to tell the tale.

Of course, no sane schoolkid would dare to trespass in Howling House, but twelve-year-old Tenderfoot, Tommy "Woods" Northwood, his precocious kid sister Chelsea, and a forlorn little boy known only as "Dirt" don't have a choice. Roger Simmons, the neighborhood bully, and his protégé, Joey Davenport, have the leverage and pugilistic prowess to make a very convincing argument.

Will they survive to see the sunrise, or is there something sinister waiting for them in that decrepit domicile?

Hellraiser (1987) feat. Bryan Christopher

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 07:05:24 +0000

Come to daddy and solve that puzzle box because we're revelling in the queer, cosmic horror of Clive Barker's Hellraiser (1987)! Tagging in for the discussion is returning guest (and Hellraiser franchise super fan) Bryan Christopher, who we can only assume is a masochist at heart.

Join us as we go all in on the queer subtext that Barker injects into his directorial debut before heaping all the praise on Claire Higgins' performance as the complex Julia Cotton. There will be discussions of BDSM and consent, the torture porn label that is unfairly applied to the film, and all things Cenobites.

Plus: Frank's precious goo, shoulder pads for days, one rude-ass nurse, an angry pet store lady, and the ultimate question: why aren't these characters diarrhea-ing all over themselves at the sight of some of this shit? And to think that Ebert said this film was a "bankruptcy of imagination"! Jesus wept.

The Lure (2017) feat. Jessica Scott

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 7 Sep 2022 07:05:35 +0000

It's time to reel in the catch of the day: Polish coming of age mermaid musical horror film The Lure (2015 or 2017).

Along for swim lessons is Jessica Scott, who helps to clarify that Silver's storyline does *not* complicate the film's feminist reading.

Plus: the clear trans allegory, our fave musical numbers (and how the film connects to Burlesque), ties to both Disney and Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid and why Mietek SUCKS.

Tremors (1990) feat. Cooper S. Beckett

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 07:05:50 +0000

Be wary of seismic activity because we're discussing Ron Underwood's 1990 creature feature, Tremors with the help of author and podcaster Cooper S. Beckett.

Let's get this...er...straight right off the top: this is a very queer film! Not only are Val and Earl totally in a relationship, but Rhonda is lesbian-coded.

Plus: horrifying deaths, practical Graboid effects, the politics of survivalist couple Burt and Heather, short pole-vaults and what the fuck is homosociality?!

Micro Queers: Griffica (2021)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 07:05:07 +0000

Our second Micro Queers short this month is Griffica (2021), written and directed by CJ Arellano. This short is unique because it's told entirely in voice over, which we praise for allowing us to focus on the clean, modern visuals. Is the idea of a boyfriend so perfect he must be demon appeal more to gay men and our stunted development? We debate!

The Lighthouse (2019) feat. Cat Blackard

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 07:05:58 +0000

We know yer fond of our lobster because we're talking about Robert Eggers' 2019 treatise on homoeroticism and toxic masculinity, 'The Lighthouse.' Joining us to discuss yet another wet'n'wild island movie is The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program's Cat Blackard.

We discuss Eggers' trademark dedication to technical precision, shooting conditions in Nova Scotia, Androeroticism, defending Robert Pattison (and his accent), 'The Lighthouse' as rom com (with farts) and Cat’s own epic monologue around the 43:30 minute mark.

Bonus: On Being a Critic

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 07:05:55 +0000

Welcome to our special bonus minisode on what it's like being a critic! This minisode was part of a conversation that we had in this week's episode on Michele Soavi's Stage Fright, but it was a bit too off-topic so we decided to cut it out and release it as its own special episode! Get a peek behind the curtain as we chat with this week's guest Rachael Nisbet about the highs and lows of what it's like to be a critic.

Stage Fright (1987) feat. Rachael Nisbet

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 07:05:41 +0000

Get ready to sell your ass in the men's room because we're getting locked in a theatre with a theatre troupe in Michele Soavi's giallo-cum-slasher Stage Fright (1987)! Joining us for the conversation is Arrow Video contributor and Fragments of Fear co-host Rachael Nisbet!

After trying to figure out why Stage Fright is included in lists of gialli, we go all in on Soavi's directorial debut and discuss how his tutelage from Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava fueled his creative vision for this film.

Plus, a subversive opening scene, another dull final girl, a delightfully sassy gay character, horny orderlies, one enormous skeleton key, face-level glory holes and...toilet troubles? Hoot hoot, bitch.

Micro Queers: Innocent Boy (2020)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 12 Aug 2022 07:05:14 +0000

In the first Micro Queers of the month, we head to Texas with Brock Cravy's Innocent Boy (2020). We discuss Karissa Liecht's neon cinematography, the gross/disgusting vibe reminiscent of Rob Zombie and TCM, a desire for more narrative and Joe's frustration with issues of representation.

Nightbreed (1990) feat. Leigh Monson

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 07:05:21 +0000

After years of requests we're finally heading to Midian to hang with Boone and Button-Face in Clive Barker's Nightbreed (1990)! Joining us for the conversation is super-fan Leigh Monson (see previous episode on Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II).

In this episode, which premiered at last year's Frightgown Film Festival, we discuss the film's arduous production and incredibly troubled post-production before going all-in on the queer allegory with the monsters of Midian (aka the "Nightbreed").

Plus, why is Boone so boring? Just how many different cuts are there (and which version is the best one to watch)? Do we like Lori's musical number? Oh, and David. Fucking. Cronenberg.

Brush up on your stalking laws because we're heading to the City of Angels to discuss our very first TV movie in John Carpenter's Someone's Watching Me! (1978), which aired on NBC just one month after the release of Halloween!

Join us as we do a crash course on the status of television movies in the '70s before analyzing Carpenter's subversion of the Final Girl trope and then rightfully praising the groundbreaking positive queer representation in Adrienne Barbeau's Sophie (before lamenting her inclusion in the "bury your gays" trope).

Plus, plenty of Scooby-Doo connections, all kinds of gazes, the "right" way to come home from work and the ultimate question: Is Forth Worth, TX some sort of lesbian haven?

Sleepaway Camp (1983) feat. Ten Backe

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 07:05:29 +0000

For the last entry in our Camp series, we're finally tackling Robert Hiltzik's Sleepaway Camp (1983). Along for the short shorts and Judy of it all is returning guest - and big fan of the film - Ten Backe.

The big question is whether this film is homophobic and transphobic. Hiltzik doesn't have a lot of thoughts on the matter, but we, and many trans film critics, do. Is Sleepaway Camp worthy of praise and (re)appropriation by the queer community?

Plus: comparisons to Friday the 13th, thoughts on Judy's curling iron death, Art the pedophile cook, and the need for short shorts and male nudity!

Flesh For Frankenstein (1974) feat. Reyna Cervantes

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 07:05:28 +0000

Week 4 of the Summer of Camp finds us fucking life in the gallbladder with Flesh For Frankenstein (1974). Along for the ride is returning guest Reyna Cervantes, who loves Paul Morrissey's X-Rated satire, which could never be made today!

After Trace provides a quick crash course on Andy Warhol and The Factory, we dive into the 3D, the Mafia (!) and the incest/necrophilia of it all (C/W by the way).

Plus: hot Udo Kier, the destruction of the nuclear family, asexuality vs gay vibes, debates about male full frontal nudity, and James Cameron?

Female Trouble (1974) feat. Andy Scahill

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 07:05:32 +0000

The Summer of Camp rolls on as Professor Andy Scahill returns to discuss our very first John Waters film, Female Trouble (1974). This is a great introduction to Waters, the Dreamlanders and Divine in a film that defines bad taste and trash.

Come for the discussion on why Christmas is hard on queers, our love of Mink Stole and how the film evokes Waters' counter culture approach to indie filmmaking. Are you offended? Good!

Nurse 3D (2013)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Jul 2022 07:05:22 +0000

Grab your vecuronium and prepare to get bottomless because week two of the Summer of Camp is tackling Doug Aarniokoski's Nurse 3D (2013). This is just...what is this? It's Paz de la Huerta acting in a completely different film than the stacked cast around her. It's lawsuits and delays. It's fetish costuming, shitty 3D post-conversion and the wildest voice-over you've ever heard.

Trace offers a recap lesson while Joe questions the poorly incorporated rape plot (C/W) while drawing a surprising number of comparisons to our Showgirls episode.

But is it camp? We're still not sure what this film is; all we know is that we love our fucking jobs.

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) feat. Amelia Emberwing

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 07:05:44 +0000

Oh crap oh crap oh crap! The swan ate our baby and the most smartest tapper needs to go to state! That's right, we're discussing Michael Patrick Jann's seminal dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) with IGN's streaming editor Amelia Emberwing. Think we can do it? Amer-I-CAN!

Join us as we track the film’s journey from a script called Dairy Queens to a box office and commercial failure to a stone-cold cult classic beloved by (and offensive to) many. We’re laughing at eating disorders, mental disability and pedophilia. How did this get made?

Plus: non-stop praise for this outstanding cast, discussing the on-set tensions between the writer and the director, debating the effectiveness (or lack thereof?) of the third act, and an It Takes Two tangent? Ding! Fries are up!

The New Mutants (2020)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 07:05:51 +0000

Surprise! We're opening the Patreon vault to deliver an episode on a film with one of the most infamously troubled production histories of all time. That's right! After years (literally years) of waiting, we are discussing Josh Boone's adaptation of The New Mutants and it's.....fine?

After spending a good amount of this episodes runtime going through the film's laborious production history and discussing the racist accusations lobbied against the film, we educate ourselves on the source material before doing a deep dive into the film itself.

We've got a front-and-center queer romance, lots of garbage CGI, teenage trauma porn, mostly solid accent work and a blessed 86-minute runtime. Does it all work? Absolutely not. But it's not as bad as it could have been, so we guess that's something?

Dahmer (2002)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 07:15:56 +0000

In this special bonus minisode celebrating the film's 20th anniversary, we discuss 2002's Dahmer, starring a pre-fame Jeremy Renner. The film - and Renner - is quite good and would make a good double bill with My Friend Dahmer (another film we'd recommend).

This month on Micro Queers, we're working the late shift at the fast food joint with David Jancove's I Love Your Guts (2021). We're talking great female friendships, violence vs gore, comparisons to Buffy's 'Doublemeat Palace' episode, and why we don't want to see a feature version of this short.

Def By Temptation (1990) feat. Zena Dixon

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 07:05:38 +0000

Warm up Fistina and Palmette because we're heading to NYC circa 1990 to discuss the sinister succubus at the center of James Bond III's Troma classic Def By Temptation! Joining us for the conversation is DBT superfan (and Bloody Disgusting Podcast co-host) Zena Dixon!

Join us as we give a bit of a Troma primer (it's our first Troma film!) before jumping into the film's treatment of its queer character, as well as a discussion of the dreaded AIDS Mary urban legend. Oh, and all the praise for Kadeem Hardison's K.

Plus, debating Joel's effectiveness as a protagonist, Samuel L. Jackson(!), stockings vs. tights and the ultimate question: would you jump in them drawers?

Scooby-Doo (2002) feat. Gory Cory

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 8 Jun 2022 07:05:17 +0000

We hope you've got the scrote for this job because we're heading to Spooky Island to solve the mystery of the zombified co-eds in Raja Gosnell's 2002 live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo! Joining us for the conversation is noted Scooby-head Cory McCullough!

Join us as we trace the film's journey from a PG-13 (or R-rated???) Brady Bunch Movie-style parody of the classic Scooby-Doo cartoons to a compromised but joyous, family-friendly(???) celebration of all things Mystery, Inc. We wouldn't expect anything else from screenwriter (and Troma alum) James Gunn, would we?

Plus, on top of a feminist Daphne, a stoner Shaggy and a queer Velma & Fred, we've got Pamela Anderson(???), "horrific" CGI, body (and gender)-swapping shenanigans, plenty o' farts and the ultimate debate on Scrappy Cornelius Doo. Oh, and who can forget that absolute banger of a soundtrack?

Spoiler-Free Review: Carter Smith's 'Swallowed' [Overlook 2022]

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Sat, 4 Jun 2022 23:31:14 +0000

We're dropping a mini-review of Carter Smith's new queer horror film Swallowed, which just had its world-premiere at the Overlook Film Festival! Since the film is still seeking distribution and thus can't be seen by most audiences, this a completely spoiler-free review. We will release a longer (spoiler-filled) episode on the film when it gets released.

Starring Jena Malone (The Ruins, The Neon Demon) and Mark Patton (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge), Swallowed is a pulse-pounding tale of two best friends on what might be their final night together. A drug deal gone wrong finds them at the center of a chilling queer body horror full of shocking violations.

Perdita Durango (1997) feat. Kay Lynch

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 Jun 2022 07:05:05 +0000

Make sure those human fetuses are refrigerated properly because we're hitting the road with Rosie (fucking) Perez and Javier Bardem in Álex de la Iglesia's controversial film Perdita Durango (1997), which only just saw the release of its uncut version last year! Joining us for the trip is Salem Horror Fest's Festival Director Kay Lynch!

Join us as we look at the film's origins as a sequel to Wild at Heart (yes, really) before discussing the films taboo and challenging subject matter. Rosie Perez's career-best performance forces us to rationalize loving a character who commits so many heinous acts.

Oh, and content warnings aplenty for this one because we've got filicide, f-slurs, voodoo rituals, copious amounts of cocaine, blood sacrifices, corpse mutilations, grave desecrations and, in the words of the director himself, consensual rape??? And that's all just in the film's first hour!

Incident in a Ghostland (2018) feat. Xero Gravity

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 May 2022 07:05:09 +0000

This week we're covering our second Pascal Laugier film, 2018's Incident in a Ghostland. C/W: misogyny, transphobia.

Along for the ride is Blerdy Massacre co-host Xero Gravity, who joins us in getting increasingly aggravated with the Martyrs director the more we learn what he thinks he's doing with this film, which includes a lot of teen female abuse, a caricature trans woman villain and unabashed love for HP Lovecraft?!

We're more forgiving of the twist, as well as the performances of Emilia Jones and Taylor Hickson (whose disfigurement on the film's set is another controversy Trace unpacks).

Plus: TCM-meets-giallo production design, a sly police subversion, a groan-worthy typewriter and dolls everywhere.

Wake in Fright (1971) feat. A Nightmare on Fierce Street

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 May 2022 07:05:52 +0000

Brush up on your two-up and watch out for them kangaroos (oh, God, the kangaroos!) because we're heading Down Under to discuss Ted Kotcheff's famed "lost film" Wake in Fright (1971)! Joining us are A Nightmare on Fierce Street co-hosts Sharai Bohannon and Trent Reese!

First thing's first: this film has a 10-minute-long sequence featuring Cannibal Holocaust levels of real-life animal violence (it's the kangaroos), so major content warning for that. Consider yourself warned.

Anyway, after a brief musical theatre tangent, we discuss the film's journey from novel to film to lost film to restored masterpiece before going all-in on its portrayal of masculinity. It all leads up to a discussion of a gay sex scene that, quite frankly, we were shocked to see!

Plus, shirtless Donald Pleasence (nips o' plenty), one spicy hotel receptionist, a very serious conversation about Bloody Marys and (the ultimate question) is Janette a slut? Would you expect anything less from the director of Weekend at Bernie's?

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 May 2022 07:05:11 +0000

It's another Friday the 13th, so we're back on the Jason Voorhees beat with Jason Lives (1986), the sixth entry in the franchise and also its smartest? That's the argument Trace makes, though Joe is less certain about its humor.

What we both agree on is that the Tom McLoughlin film has a (mostly) great final girl in Megan, a hot Tommy Jarvis, and Jason's got a tight heinie.

Plus: the Camp Blood card game (here are the rules), the film's best death and scariest sequences, and justice for Sissy and Paula, who deserved more screen time than those corporate paint ballers!

We're All Going To The World's Fair (2021) feat. Mary Beth McAndrews

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 May 2022 07:05:32 +0000

This week we're covering non-binary trans filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun's screen life film, We're All Going To The World's Fair (2021).

Along for the ride is Dread Central's Editor-In-Chief - and found footage expert - Mary Beth McAndrews, who praises World's Fair as a great example of a hybrid screen life film.

Using interviews and quotes from Schoenbrun's director statement, Trace adds context to this ominous tale of internet celebrity while Mary Beth shares details of her childhood online, which includes catfishing!

Plus: debates about what is real online, predatory behavior vs smart teens, Joe's fascination with Lonely Girl 15, Internet memes and creepy pastas, and our multiple interpretations of the film's ambiguous ending

Note About The Director's Pronouns: We use she/her pronouns to refer to director Jane Schoenbrun in this episode, which was released in May 2022. At the time, those were the pronouns that they used. They officially switched to they/them pronouns in November 2022, as evidenced by this Tweet from Schoenbrun.

Strap in because we're discussing our first Mexican film and boy is it a doozy! We're going to be discussing all the internalized homophobia and tentacle alien monster sexcapades in Amat Escalante's 2016 film The Untamed!

Join us as we try to figure out what the tentacle alien monster represents while lauding the film for its realistic (and graphic!) depiction of gay sex and then jump right into adding a new letter to the LGBTQIA acronym (someone alert GLAAD!).

Plus: meat-eating as a sign of masculinity, the importance of breaking tradition, questionable police interrogation rooms and a crater of copulating creatures.

We're not bad, we're just drawn that way! And we're headed to Toontown to discuss Robert Zemeckis' looney tune-y cinematic masterpiece (and every child's nightmare fuel) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)!

Join us as we worship at the altar of Jessica Rabbit before applying a queer reading to Judge Doom (Don't be a sourpuss! He's a quintessential self-hating queer figure that might fall into the queer killer trope).

Plus: our lengthiest production history yet, discussing the film's incredibly dark source material, sexy Patty Cake, and oh my God it's DIIIIIIIIIIIIIP! All this for a freeway? You bet! And we're gonna handle it JUST. LIKE. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!

Let The Right One In (2008) feat. Chandler Bullock

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 07:05:24 +0000

It's time for another gorgeous vampire film as we finally tackle Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In (2008). Along for the ride is The Beauty of Horror's Chandler Bullock, who connects deeply with the depiction of bullying in the film. Expect all three of us to get very candid!

In addition to bullying, we unpack a multiplicity of trans readings for Eli, the eternal 12 year vampire, as well as debate at length whether the end of the film is a tragedy, a love story or both.

Plus: Trace's thirst for child blood, Chandler and Trace's take on the stage production, a missed Oscar opportunity and Joe fills in the gaps between the book, the Swedish film and its American remake (for a lot more on that, check out his YA adaptation podcast Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr which did a tie-in episode)

Near Dark (1987) feat. Kyle Adam Foster

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Apr 2022 07:05:28 +0000

Black out your car windows because we're driving through the American West with Jesse Hooker's gang in Kathryn Bigelow's seminal vampire Western Near Dark (1987). Joining us for the trip is Kyle Adam Foster!

Join us as we dive into all the hoops Bigelow had to jump through just to get this film made (a woman doing "man movies?" Who'da thought?!) before diving into the film's bungled release, which led to its commercial failure and "flop" status.

Plus: an in-your-face AIDS allegory, questionable blood transfusions, Bill Paxton worship, an uninteresting central romance, and that awesome bar fight set piece. Near Dark has it all, folks!

Piranha 3D (2010) feat. Megan Sunday

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 07:05:25 +0000

Slather that sunscreen on your nose and get those boobies ready because we're doing Spring Break a little late this year as we discuss Alexandre Aja's incredibly fun and incredibly gory Piranha 3D (2010). Joining us for the fun is Megan Sunday, the co-host of the Let's Get Weirding podcast!

Join us as we discuss the film's shockingly troubled post-production process (leading to some no-so-great CGI), the film's treatment of women, the dicks of both Jerry O'Connell and Adam Scott, and that nude, lesbian, underwater ballet sequence.

Plus: More Weinstein woes, #JusticeForDanni, Trace's geography struggles, and Dina Meyer done dirty (again!). Oh, and and how about the fact that this almost became an Alan Smithee film?

Peeping Tom (1960)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 07:05:57 +0000

We're jetting back to 1960 to check out Michael Powell's classic Peeping Tom.

First: forget Psycho (ok, we can't help but make comparisons!). But really, this film deserves more attention and recognition, and not just because it's a trivia question in Scream 4!

Joe is adamant that the film is about more than gendered violence, while Trace has all of the medical deets about scopophilic fetishism aka voyeurism.

Plus: a Scorcese save, penis tripods, films within films (Singin' in the Rain!), the film's interest in disability, and our love of these female characters, especially Moira Shearer's Vivian.

Death Drop Gorgeous (2021) feat. Tom & Lorenzo

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 07:05:03 +0000

For the final entry of our "underrated or underseen" theme, we're talking DIY drag horror film Death Drop Gorgeous (2021). Joining us are fashion and culture bloggers and podcasters Tom & Lorenzo, the married couple who literally wrote the book on RuPaul and queer lifestyle.

This hilarious conversation repeatedly observes the way that only gay men could have made this film. Plus: in defense of sissy femme stereotypes, celebrations of big mouthed drag queens, memories of Joe’s time working in the gay bar, using wigs as cum rags, googling Pup play, and why this film is Holiday Horror.

Spiral (2020)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 9 Mar 2022 08:05:57 +0000

What's better than escaping from the city and moving out to the country? Well, if it's 1995 and you're an interracial gay couple, almost anything. That's the story at the heart of Kurtis David Harder's queer horror film Spiral, our 2020 entry in our "Underseen or Underrated?" theme.

Join us as we discuss this unabashedly queer horror film that manages to combine supernatural horror with very real horror to great effect. We'll discuss the hate crime that opens the film (and compare it to a similar opening in It Chapter Two) and we'll also discuss internalized homophobia, in a conversation that hits a close to home for Trace.

Plus, polyamory, leaving your doors unlocked in suburbia and PTSD. It's a heavier episode focused on on an admittedly heavy film, but never fear: our trademark humor is still here in spades!

Climax (2019) feat. Matt Cipolla

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 2 Mar 2022 08:05:22 +0000

Put on your spandex, avoid the sangria and stay out of the electrical closet because this week's "underrated or underseen" entry is Gaspar Noé's Climax (2019).

Joining us on this (acid) trip is writer Matt Cipolla, who brings a wealth of Noé knowledge, as well as nihilist philosophy like E. M. Cioran's aphorisms.

We discuss Noé as a troll and why the film is (or isn't?) political and racist, as well as the unorthodox & collaborative production, child murder and more than a few drug stories.

Plus: why Trace will never watch this again, speculation about who lives and dies, and the comfort of rewatching the dance sequences.

Asssassination Nation (2018) feat. Dani Bethea

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 08:05:11 +0000

It's trigger warnings for alllllll the things this week as we discuss the lulz in Sam Levinson's (Euphoria) controversial, confrontational and very, very timely film Assassination Nation (2018)! Joining us for the discussion is writer Dani Bethea!

Join us as we discuss the film's approach to violence (where is the line between empowerment and re-traumatization?), its unusual (but intentional) lack of slurs, its commentary on empathy and that awesome single-take home invasion sequence that serves as the centerpiece of the film.

Plus, Chekhov's Daddy, fisting Oscar the Grouch, Joe's lesson on the film's opening sequence, Trace's comparisons to Detention and why "if you weren't The Nun, you weren't gettin' none!"

mother! (2017) feat. Ghouls Next Door

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 08:05:37 +0000

Grab your crystal heart and prepare for combustion. For 2017's "underseen or underrated" entry, we've recruited Gabe & Kat of Ghouls Next Door to discuss Darren Aronofsky's big budget flop: mother!

The Jennifer Lawrence movie is more endurance experience than film and features a messy mix of religious, environmental and creative allegories that definitely contributed to its F Cinemascore.

Needless to say, there's lot of unpack, including plenty of Biblical connections (why is Michelle Pfeiffer's Eve such a c*nt?!), conservation pleas (get off the damn sink!) and potential autobiographical ties (Aronofsky's treatment of J. Law, his former girlfriend and muse). It's a lot...just like this movie!

Boys in the Trees (2016) feat. Aaron Dries

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 9 Feb 2022 08:05:38 +0000

Blast your '90s music and prepare to get vulnerable with your masculinity because we're talking Nicholas Verso's 2016 coming-of-age drama Boys in the Trees! Joining us for this discussion (one that Joe's been waiting two years for) is Aussie author Aaron Dries (Dirty Heads, House of Sighs)!

Join us as we discuss the film's handling of some admittedly sensitive subject matter (CW: sexual assault) before discussing the creative process that removed any explicit queer content from the film. Expect plenty of comparisons to Stand By Me, The NeverEnding Story, Bridge to Terabithia and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.

Plus: Whip-its/nangs, trading bullying stories (watch out for shaving cream!), toxic fire extinguisher snow and some lessons in Australian culture. Oh, and Joe and Aaron have a meet-cute!

The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) feat. Matt Monagle

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 2 Feb 2022 08:05:20 +0000

Bow down before the furnace because we are talking about Oz Perkins' 2015 debut film The Blackcoat's Daughter. Joining us is mega-fan Matt Monagle from Certified Forgotten, who counts this as his #1 horror film.

After Trace takes us through the botched release schedule (with a few jabs at A24 and DirecTV), we dig into this intimate, dread-filled film which features three fantastic female performances and oozes atmosphere.

Plus: Joe's "dumb dumb" first watch reactions, the tragedy of Rose never realizing she's in a horror film, Lauren Holly's one take wonder, more Emma Roberts appreciation, and the lingering effect of those final scenes.

Plus: Famous Amos, a lesson on how to navigate Rotten Tomatoes, Trace learns about commonwealths (and Coronation Street!) and Joe's real-life New Zealand horror story involving....an apple?

Don't go into Apartment 5! For 2013's "underseen or underrated" we're joined by Boom Howdy's Adrian Torres to talk about Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem.

There's no shortage of things to discuss, including Zombie's divisive reception by horror fans and accusations of nepotism for casting wife Sheri Moon in his projects (we like her, so back off!).

Plus: questions about who the villain is, praise for the low budget production design, the "cunty" three witches, Joe fangirls over Meg Foster and Ken Foree, Trace's grim reading of Heidi's fate and debates about just how blasphemous this text is.

Also: 1, 2, 3, 4, Mambo #5

What exactly happened with those script leaks during the production of Scream 2?

Which part of his Scream 4 script is he most bummed didn't make it into the final cut?

Porno Queers: 'Scream' Parody 'Cream For Me' (2016)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:15:26 +0000

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

To celebrate the arrival of Scream (2022), we're checking out Bromo's gay porn parody, Cream For Me (2016), starring Tom Faulk, Tobias, Vadim Black, James Parfitt and Brad Banks as Ghostface.

Following an overview of our experiences with porn, we break down this four part series scene by (lazy) scene. It's all up for discussion: cheap production values, power bottoms vs slow fucking, 4K buttholes, straw taints, and incest & rape fantasy. We're not trying to yuck anyone's yum, but we demand better! Thankfully Joe has some (future?) recommendations.

Join us as we discuss the film's influences before picking apart the mixed messaging of the film (feminist themes, destigmatization of the body modification community) and having another candid discussion about rape in cinema.

Plus, more Lizzie McGuire, Dr. Alan Grant (no, not that one), controversial off-screen antics, fancy doctor barn lofts and plenty of uh...flesh squelches.

Plus: our reactions to the increased gore, Joe's continued disdain for Britt Robertson, Trace's fave Ghostface & Jill line readings, debates about Robbie's queerness and why this film is the gift that just keeps giving.

Join us for the rare episode in which Joe is crude and Trace is a prude as we go all in on the sexual chemistry between the film's straight male protagonists Jim (Todd Allen) and Brandon (Stephen Nichols) before lamenting Tawny Kitaen's lack of chemistry with either of them.

Plus, bizarre pregnancy symptoms, the glory that is Kathleen Wilhoite's Zarabeth and her fringe, bullet hole-riddled Ouija boards and a fun game of "Choose Your Own Deathventure"!

Batman Returns (1992) feat. Alex Hall

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 08:05:15 +0000

Happy holidays, Bats! We’re heading back to Gotham City to discuss Batman Kills…wait…no…Batman Cameos…wait…still not right…Batman Returns! Joining us for the conversation is Alex Hall, a film writer who specializes in queer & lesbian horror cinema!

Join us as we laud the queer-coding of Catwoman and the Penguin before trying to figure out just how this dark, campy and horny “family” movie got made (Tim Burton’s expert negotiation skills and bringing on the Heathers screenwriter probably has something to do with it).

Plus, erogenous zones blown sky high, resurrection via pussy, a nose-biting castration, Poodle Lady appreciation, a lesson in vichyssoise, and just how epic and amazing is Danny Elfman’s score? Mee-OW.

Interview: Professor Harry M. Benshoff, Author of Monsters in the Closet

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 08:05:00 +0000

In this special Frightgown exclusive from June 2021, Joe interviews the godfather of queer horror, Professor Harry M. Benshoff, about his definitive text, Monsters in the Closet, as well as why queer horror has exploded in recent years, iconic films from each decade and his favorite under the radar queer horror text (hint: it's an early pre-cursor to Saw?!)

FYI: The interview was done on Zoom so the audio isn't great. If you want to see the video, hit up our YouTube channel.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 8 Dec 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Pack your parka and fine-tune your hacker skills because we're heading to Sweden to discuss David Fincher's 2011 adaptation of Stieg Larsson's global phenomenon of a novel: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo!

Join us as we offer all the praise to Rooney Mara, who really had the deck stacked against her when it came to taking on the role of Lisbeth Salander (she's great in this film) before diving into the complicated mystery at the center of the film and question Daniel Craig's penchant for queer-coded torture scenes.

Plus, Joe's hilarious theater-going anecdotes, a James Bond-ish opening credits sequence, Trace's complete and total lack of awareness of NIN (and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and two very candid (and unedited!) conversations about rape revenge.

We're back with another minisode on Don Mancini's new series, Chucky (2021)!

Fear No Evil (1981) feat. Movie Oubliette

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 Dec 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Dress in your best antichrist drag because we’re talking about the absolutely wild (and frequently nonsensical) Fear No Evil (1981). Along for the ride are Dan and Conrad from Movie Oubliette, making this a truly international podcast experience across four countries and three continents. C/W: the dog dies.

Up for debate: is this film homophobic or is it a condemnation of the damaging effects of religion? Is it a Christmas or an Easter movie? Is director Frank LaLoggia using the film to work out some personal issues? And can we find something nice to say about Kathleen Rowe McAllen’s bee stung lips and atrocious acting?

Plus: bloody baptisms, satin Grease jackets, gun vaginas, death by dodgeball, animal cruelty, Gynecomastia and Dendrophilia, and many, MANY male asses, including one Trace deems so perfect, you could hold a tea party on it.

Oh, and we end things with a quick round of Mooblie Awards!

The Seventh Victim (1943) feat. David Demchuk

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Stay away from the wine because we, along with celebrated queer author David Demchuk, are covering our first Val Lewton film:The Seventh Victim (1943).

The HEAVILY queer coded text is a nice alternative to our Universal Monster films, though we recommend having a comedy for when you finish because this movie is grim and nihilistic! Also, should we become Satanists? Because the Palladists don't seem that bad!

Up for discussion: disdain for the male characters, Lewton's classic "cat jump" sequence, and Frances' emotional outburst as confirmation of a lesbian relationship.

Plus: Joe gushes over Jean Brooks' performance, Trace cannot remember the poet's name, and David questions Redi's decision to put the logo of her secret society on a perfume bottle.

Heads up: we recorded this before it was announced Fiona Dourif was playing Charles Lee Ray in flashbacks

Creep (2014) feat. Devin Baldwin

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Pull out your best Peachfuzz-wear because we're talking about lots of awkward situations in Patrick Brice's Creep (2014)! Joining us for the conversation is Devin Baldwin, co-host of the Kill the Dead Podcast!

Come along for the ride as we discuss the gay panic that the film has the potential to induce (just depends on how gay panicky you are as a viewer!) while comparing our respective sets of social skills to see who would be out of the house first.

Plus: mumblecore, social awkwardness, the thunk of an axe meeting a skull, a bestiality misunderstanding and one really creepy story from Trace.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 'Once More, With Feeling' (2001) feat. Josh Tonks

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Give us something to sing about! In celebration of the 20th anniversary of one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's greatest episodes, we're revisiting the 2001 musical episode 'Once More, With Feeling' (S06E07) along with guest and musical theatre expert Joshua Tonks.

Buffy is an important text for women and queer viewers who see themselves represented in the Scooby gang’s Chosen family and Buffy’s strength. And while Joss Whedon is a POS (yes, we know!), we’re highlighting the work of everyone who stepped up IN SEASON SIX to make TV’s best musical episode.

Following a Buffy primer for the uninitiated, we go into a detailed production history about how this Very Special Episode got made. Then it’s a song by song break-down, complete with Karaoke renditions.

Plus: how the writing fails Dawn, praise for Tony winner Hinton Battle, a fun new way to troll Trace, Josh’s walks us through musical subgenres and the importance of the show’s lesbian relationship (and unsubtle ode to cunninlingus).

The Lost Boys (1987) feat. Marisa Mirabal

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Nov 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Grab your leather jackets and shape up your mullet because we're celebrating our 150th episode with a seminal queer vampire text in Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys (1987)! Joining us for the discussion is Marisa Mirabal, a co-host of the Black Magic Coven podcast!

After taking a look at the historical context of the film's release (height of the Reagan era, AIDS crisis, the Moral Majority), we'll go all-in on this time capsule of the '80s, which originated as a sort of "Goonies Go Vampire" before Schumacher stepped in and sexified everything up.

Plus, "Cry Little Sister" (a lot), vampirism as a metaphor for oral sex, Kiefer Sutherland's "dance bars," a late-in-the-episode discussion of the film's two sequels and an anecdote about how The Lost Boys tricked Trace into reading Mormon propaganda.

Clue (1985) feat. Good Mourning, Nancy

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 07:05:00 +0000

The Comedy Queers are in the house! We're joined by Abbey and Gracie of Good Mourning, Nancy to unpack the hilarity of Jonathan Lynn's adaptation of Clue (1985) aka one of the best comedies ever made.

We discuss our relationship to the game, Trace goes long on the complicated production history, Abbey equates Miss Scarlet with a particular vegetable, and we each take a go at Madeline Kahn's famous improvised line.

Plus: a debate about who is the best actor/character, Clue as a "gateway" film for both mystery and comedy, Joe provides historical context for the Red & Lavender Scares and we unpack our complicated feelings about Mr. Green (Michael McKean)'s changing sexual orientation. Oh, and laughs. LOTS of laughs.

Chucky S01E01: 'Death By Misadventure'

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 07:05:00 +0000

We're temporarily setting aside our exploration of queer horror shorts so that we can do weekly coverage of Don Mancini's new series, Chucky (2021).

In our spoiler-filled discussion of the first episode, we discuss the focus on pre-teen characters, the use of the F-slur, homages to classic horror and why we're totally fine with the show not being "realistic."

Halloween (2018) feat. Richard Newby

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Pull your phone out of that pudding because we're heading to Haddonfield to revisit David Gordon Green's 2018 sequel to Halloween titled...Halloween! Tapping in for the discussion is Richard Newby, the author of the horror short story collection We Make Monsters Here!

Join us as we take a deep dive into this legacy sequel that wants to remind us of every previous sequel in the franchise despite also wanting us to forget about them. We'll discuss the film's portrayal of trauma and how it compares to the portrayal in Halloween: H20. Oh, and how about the 30 minutes of deleted scenes (not all of which are on the Blu)?

Plus, Joe's magical talents, Creighton Duke, British Ellie Kemper, baby-killing, Bánh Mi, "Gotcha!" and.....is that the same wig from 1981's Halloween II just spray-painted gray? Oh, and we need to talk about Cameron...

Joy Ride (2001)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Oct 2021 07:05:00 +0000

We're cruising into October with our trusty CB radio in hand for a rewatch of John Dahl's Joy Ride (2001). The film features a pretty iconic scene of stars Paul Walker and Steve Zahn walking naked into a diner, but that’s not the only queer aspect of this highway horror film.

Using Eric Langberg’s Gayly Dreadful piece, we consider how the film is in conversation with the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard and how that opens up readings of hate crimes, gay panic and repressed sexuality in the film’s villain Rusty Nail (Ted Levine).

Plus: Trace’s hatred of pranks, fears of doxxing, the film's MANY endings, misusing Leelee Sobieski, and coming to grips with the fact that Fuller is actually an asshole.

Dracula's Daughter (1936)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Check your zoos for elephants that are seeing pink men because we're discussing the 1936 film (and direct sequel to 1931's Dracula) Dracula's Daughter! And boy do we have some things to say about the hetero nonsense in this movie.

First, we'll spill the tea on the film's dramatic road to production, complete with cameos from super-producer David O. Selznick, queer director James Whale and everyone's favorite Production Code Administration head: Joseph Breen!

Then we'll dive into all things queer in this underseen classic, including a third act whose sole purpose is to make the straights happy. But hey, it's not like director Lambert Hillyer didn't fit as much queerness in the film as possible (it's not even subtext, y'all).

Plus: an X-rated bow tie metaphor, personal space, Hedda Hopper(?!) and more analysis from everyone's favorite queer horror theorist: Harry M. Benshoff!

Mulholland Drive (2001)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 07:05:00 +0000

In advance of its 20th anniversary, we're dipping into the beautiful, surreal world of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive (2001).

In keeping with the film, the episode adopts a non-linear format as we track the Betty/Rita storyline, then double back to discuss Adam, before finally digging into the extra footage Lynch shot when the project switched from TV pilot to film.

Expect plenty of discussion about how great both female leads are, which Hollywood director Adam reminds Trace of, Joe’s ongoing obsession with Showgirls, and talk of how goddamn gorgeous this film is.

Plus: Speculation on a shared cinematic universe with Southland Tales and Alias S3, Trace's dislike of Noir, and the hilarious reason why Monty Montgomery’s line delivery as the Cowboy is so unnerving.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) feat. Mark O. Estes

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Just in time for its 30th anniversary, we're dipping back into the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise with a look at Rachel Talalay's 1991 entry, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.

Joining us to discuss his childhood favorite (and gateway into horror) is Mark O. Estes, writer and host of the Midnight Social Distortion podcast.

This film is...a lot, particularly how it balances laughs (Looney Tunes!), scares and camp. Is it paying homage to the franchise or simply doing a poor imitation of previous films?

Plus: discussion of "Final" entries in franchises, comparisons to Hellraiser: Bloodline, tangents on Paranormal Activity and Friday the 13th, films that that made us feel magical as kids, the subversion of John Doe's death and the film's treatment of sexual assault. Like we said: it's A LOT!

This week on Micro Queers, we're discussing Michael Rozanov's Watch Over Me (click the link to view the 13-minute short), in which Eitan (Guy Kapulnik) is taken out by mates from his army unit to celebrate his completion of the unit's training. An encounter with Shahar (Davidi Hoffman), who lives the way Eitan never dared, gives him a chance for a new beginning. But when he tries to go with the change, he discovers the ultimate price of his previous choices.

It Follows (2014) feat. Ari Drew

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 8 Sep 2021 07:05:00 +0000

After two years, we're FINALLY tackling a top request from listeners: David Robert Mitchell's It Follows (2014). Along for the ride is Trace's better half, Ari Drew, who has developed a special connection to the film during the pandemic.

Expect a lot of comparisons to Hereditary and other “slow burn/feel bad films”, including speculation about why horror audiences may struggle with these films, particularly on a first watch.

Also: how It Follows evokes a sense of timelessness, why the opening scene is a perfect short film, why Ari finds so much comfort in a dread-filled film, and how Joe has come around on the pool climax.

Plus: plenty of healthy debate about the ending, talk about shitty boys, and, finally, pondering the fate of Bait Bus.

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 Sep 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Grab your katana and white dress because we're heading over to a small German town to discuss the internal struggle of the queer cop at the center of Till Kleinert's surreal film Der Samurai. Joining us for the discussion is Transploitation co-creator Ten Backe!

Come along for the ride as we wade through the film's dream logic to interpret what this film is trying to say. We've got a look at small town queer life, coming out via baptism, questions surrounding gender identity and one very erect penis.

Plus, attacking queer culture through pink flamingos, decapitations galore, a town literally covered in blood, more Freeway plugs and our beefs with James Woods and Isaiah Washington.

Candyman (1992) feat. Brother Ghoulish

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 07:05:00 +0000

In anticipation of Nia DaCosta's sequel, we're taking the highway to Cabrini Green to revisit Bernard Rose's iconic 1992 film, Candyman. Joining us to unpack the white privilege, the racial critiques and the enduring appeal of Tony Todd is Ryan Kinney aka Brother Ghoulish.

Up for discussion: changes from queer writer Clive Barker's short story The Forbidden, the historical reality of the 80s housing crisis in America, Trace's theory about what Candyman represents, and Joe's reading of Virginia Madsen's Helen as a narcissist.

Plus: chunky peanut butter poo, poor Kasi Lemmons' terrible death make-up, Stacey's perky nipples, an extended Resident Evil tangent and Ryan's threat to take over the podcast.

Check the windows in your teleportation pod because we're heading up to Toronto to discuss all the gooey goodness in David Cronenberg's seminal horror remake The Fly! Joining us is Bloody Disgusting's lead critic (and co-host of The Bloody Disgusting Podcast): Meagan Navarro!

Join us as we trace the film's journey from page to screen (rewrites, Mel Brooks, tragedy and Total Recall) before discussing the film's possible AIDS allegory and, of course, all the praise for the film's outstanding and Oscar-winning special effects.

Plus, respect for the film's handling of abortion (in 1986, no less) normalizing the cock and references to Zenon: The Zequel and Cube 2: Hypercube. Hey, it wouldn't be a Cronenberg discussion if it wasn't weird!

Rope (1948)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Shut the antique wooden chest and choke your chicken because we're heading to a posh Manhattan penthouse for a classy dinner party in Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 technical marvel (and uber-queer film) Rope!

Join us as we kick off the episode discussing Leopold & Loeb, the real-life "perfect murder" case that serves as the inspiration for the film (among many others) before delving into just how queer this movie is. We've got a queer screenwriter and multiple queer actors and some truly bitchy 1940s dialogue.

Plus, stigmatizing tops and bottoms (boo!), a murder set piece doubling as a sex scene, a Jason Sudeikis/Hugo Weaving hybrid, a 50 Shades of Grey tangent and, of course, minding our p's and q's.

Happy Halloween/Friday the 13th/Jamie Lee Curtis' birthday, everyone! We're celebrating the occasion(s) with a discussion of the classic(?) 1981 horror parody Student Bodies, a movie that really gets us hot! Paperclips, eggplants and erasers, oh my!

Join us as we go through the film's production during the 1981 Writers Guild of America strike before going into a deep dive on the stages of genre evolution. Let's just hope the Breather gets stuck in some gum before he finds us!

Plus, mustard facials, Joe's penchant for dick cheese and did Trace even watch the movie! Either way, it's death before disfigurement for us!

Daniel Isn't Real (2019) feat. Terry Mesnard

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Open wide and brace yourself because we are going deep on Adam Egypt Mortimer's Daniel Isn't Real (2019). Joining us for the psychological thrill ride is Scarred For Life's Terry Mesnard, who provides plenty of art history education as we attempt to unpack the film's many readings.

Obviously we have to tackle the homoerotic elephant in the room, but there's also plenty to say about the film's complicated relationship with mental illness (sidebar: spoilers for Lights Out).

Plus: discussions of consent, deep throating jokes, wanting more Mary Stuart Masterson and which surprising Cronenberg film inspired the sex scenes

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Prep your cone hair and your swan screams because we're travelling back to the 30s to tackle another James Whale film. This time it's the iconic The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), which features no shortage of queer talent (Whale, Ernest Thesiger, Colin Clive) OR queer readings (the Creature as Other; Dr. Frankenstein and Pretorius as gay dads; Pretorius as corruptor/mentor to the Creature, etc).

We discuss the importance of the opening sequence featuring Elsa Lanchester as Mary Shelley, criticize the idiocy of Joseph Breen and the Hays Code, and touch on the film's connection to German Expressionism.

Plus: cum wrestling, praise for Una O'Connor's hilarious performance, a discussion of whether Whale intended the film to be read as queer, and speculation about why The Bride has become a horror icon (it's the lewk, henny!)

Surprise! We're bringing you a special bonus episode this week in the form of an interview with the Netflix Fear Street Trilogy's queer co-writer Phil Graziadei! In this revealing interview, we'll discuss all things queer in this explicitly queer adaptation of R.L. Stine's classic book series.

But first, we'll discuss some of the adaptation choices the film's make as well as the film's release strategy. Then, we'll dive into the likability of certain characters, discuss some of the films' queer coding and why it's so important to make a queer couple the face of a major horror franchise. We've got the scoop, y'all!

Raw (2016) feat. Dede Crimmins

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 7 Jul 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Pull that gravy-soaked cafeteria meat patty out of your pocket and get ready for a cannibalistic coming-of-age tale because we're doing a deep dive into Julia Ducournau's debut film Raw! Joining us for the discussion is film critic Dede Crimmins (just in time for her birthday today!).

Tag along as we endure what looks like one of the most intense and horrific hazing rituals ever put on film before lamenting the film's unfortunate vomit bag festival buzz that no doubt set up unrealistic expectations for viewers. We'll then pick apart the many, many metaphors contained within the film.

We'll also share a plethora of anecdotes, including but not limited to: bedbug experiences, public urination, hair-chewing, mirror-fucking, bikini waxes and Ducournau's secret trick to directing a dance scene

Plus, are the parents in the film the worst film parents ever? Is 7-Eleven pizza secretly amazing? And does Trace hate women? Tune in and find out!

She keeps receiving messages from H (Lucas Dutilleul) before finally succumbing to his charm and inviting him over. After all, we all need some contact now and then, right?

Sorority Row (2009) feat. Adrian Rodriguez

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 07:05:00 +0000

It's Theta Pi time, bitches! We're throwing a massive party to celebrate Stewart Handler's 2009 slasher comedy Sorority Row and along for all of the modified tire iron fun is Adrian Rodriguez of the Slash Her podcast, who loves the film as much as Trace.

Joe notoriously hated the film 4 years ago (Trace has the receipts!), but has come around on it. Still, expect plenty of debate about the balance between comedy and horror, particularly when it comes to the killer's reveal & motivation. We also worship at the altar of Jessica (Leah Pipes), comment on the film's very non-PC approach to sisterhood and sexual assault, and theorise why audiences hate Rumer Willis' Ellie.

Plus: why Carrie Fisher should have been the star, Adrian's Halloween QVC obsession and Joe elaborates why Chugs is the best

Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Pray you didn't forget your bug spray, because we're heading deep into the Amazon to hang with our favorite queer villain the Gill-Man in Jack Arnold's contribution to the Universal monsters: Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)!

Join us as we do an in-depth production history of this classic film before going on a brief tour of what it was like to be queer in the '50s (hint: it wasn't fun!). We'll then analyze the obviously queer relationship between Mark (Richard Denning) and David (Richard Carlson) while giving a queer reading to the Gill-Man himself.

Plus, a rundown of the many cancelled remakes, ass-squeezing swimsuits, underwater facials with creamy white goo and did Anaconda just completely rip off this movie (we have the receipts!)?

Bones (2001) feat. Carolyn Mauricette

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Prep your dogg jokes and don't go into the derelict old house because we're checking out Ernest R Dickerson's 2001 blaxploitation / slasher / Italian Gothic horror film Bones. Joining us is Carolyn Mauricette, Development Coordinator & Programmer of the Blood In The Snow film festival, who has a deep affection for both Pam Grier and Snoop Dogg.

This episode is, first and foremost, an apology for sleeping on the film, which is a ton of fun. We heap praise on Dickerson's direction, the film's litany of homages and its many visually stunning sequences. Bones has characters we actually care about, doesn't make a big deal about a mixed race relationship and invests a ton of screen time on Snoop & Grier's romance that other films would have cut out.

Plus: the agelessness of Grier and Bianca Lawson, undead decapitated heads, the film's questionable marketing, the lack of studio confidence in black horror and, finally, Carolyn's hilarious edible story.

Excision (2012) feat. Wren Crain

Prep your dream fantasies and your give no fuck attitude because we're checking out Richard Bates Jr's Excision (2012). Joining us to talk about Traci Lords and AnnaLynne McCord's powerhouse performances is Transploitation author and Sick Sad Monsters co-host Wren Crain, who contributes a candid and personal reading about mental illness in the film. CW: Necrophilia, Abortion

Up for discussion: why McCord's Pauline is a queer icon, the film's rude and crude comedy (hint: it's tied to abjection!), and age appropriate crushes on Jeremy Sumpter.

Plus: comparisons to May and Ginger Snaps, tangents about Gilmore Girls AND Monster-In-Law (?!), another sexually charged locker room scene and *a lot* of feelings about the ending.

The Wolves of Kromer (1998)

Grab your fur coat and tail because we're heading to the UK for a little Faerie Tale Queertre to discuss Will Gould's 1998 morality tale The Wolves of Kromer, which might be the only film we've covered with a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score!

Join us as we discuss the film's very specific aesthetic (think Vacation Bible School videos or PBS original programming) before delving into the film's admittedly on-the-nose allegories (wolves = queers) and try to figure out why Boy George only has a 5-second appearance in the opening scene.

Plus, murderous (and possibly queer?) old biddies who are horny for the Lord, a poppers anecdote and the revelation that Joe once worked at a gay bar?!

Oh, and why does this queer film's only sex scene have to be a straight one? We lycan't!

The Neon Demon (2016) feat. DeVaughn Taylor

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 May 2021 07:05:00 +0000

For this week's episode, we're headed to Los Angeles to become stars in the fashion industry with Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon (2016). Tagging along for the cannibalism and necrophilia is Bloody Blunts Cinema Club's DeVaughn Taylor who has a unique appreciation for spooky nonsense and has a pretty killer theory about what Ruby, Sarah and Gigi are really up to. CW: sexual assault, necrophilia

Up for discussion: connections to American Psycho, Abbey Lee and Jena Malone appreciation, why Trace finds the film so uncomfortable and a sprawling discussion regarding accusations about the film's misogyny.

Hello Zep, we want to play a game! So grab your blue filter and reverse bear trap because we're talking James Wan's debut film Saw! Joining us for the discussion are former guests Jenny Nulf (Fatal Frame and The Handmaiden) and Lindsay Traves (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm)!

Join us as we discuss the film's "torture porn" moniker and how it served as a reaction to 9/11 (and other things) during the Bush administration. We'll discuss the film's legacy and admire the franchise's adherence to its own continuity (for the most part).

We ask important questions like: Did Gordon actually cheat on his wife? Is Jigsaw actually a murderer? Would he be convicted in a court of law? What project management software does he use? And who shit in the toilet?

Plus, Jigsaw dioramas, sexy Billy the Puppet costumes, Trace's Cary Elwes impression and that. Fucking. Ending.

The Faculty (1998) feat. Pissi Myles

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 12 May 2021 07:05:00 +0000

We're sticking with high school outsiders as we revisit Robert Rodriguez's The Faculty (1998). We're joined by Pissi Myles of My Spooky Gay Family podcast to discuss all of the film's many, MANY queer elements, courtesy of screenwriter Kevin Williamson.

Aside from the homages to classic sci-fi, we tackle queer coding in Stokely and Casey, question why Zeke is such an asshole and absolutely rip into the terrible finale, which betrays nearly every character.

Plus: debating the Rodriguez vs Williamson elements, Joe bemoans how Usher was used by the Tommy Hilfiger tie-in campaign, the return of Trace's Elijah Woods thirst, and debating the ingredients in Scat.

Oh, and we get personal about our bullying experiences in the locker room.

Mirror Mirror (1990)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 May 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Prep your Lydia from Beetlejuice cosplay and channel your inner Carrie because this week were delving into Marina Sargenti's direct-to-video film Mirror Mirror (1990). CW: the dogs die.

Written by sisters Annette and Gina Cascone, the film is almost entirely made by and starring women, including the fabulously named Rainbow Harvest, Karen Black and The Munsters' Yvonne De Carlo (in a very Tangina from Poltergeist-esque role).

Up for discussion: being picked last for sports, shitty high school teachers (Tobo!), Karen Black's wigs, sex acts involving reflective surfaces and steam room titties.

Plus: Joe teaches Trace the rules of water polo and why we heartily recommend the film despite a so-so 2nd half and audacious, unconventional ending.

The Forsaken (2001) feat. Paul Etheredge

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 Apr 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Protect your wallets from suspicious drifters because we're ending April with a boring, unsexy vampire road trip movie: J.S. Cardone'sThe Forsaken! Joining us for this torturous venture is Hellbent director Paul Etheredge!

Join us as we try to determine whether the film is unintentionally homoerotic or just plain bro-y. We'll delve into Simon Rex's '90s porn career, discuss some of our own porn preferences and discuss the heavy vampirism-as-AIDS metaphor the film incorporates.

A discussion of The Forsaken can't be had without discussing kinda-sorta lead actress Izabella Miko and how the film mishandles her character. She's nude in her introductory scene, has maybe five lines of dialogue and isn't given a name until the end credits. Yay, feminism!

Plus, title card titties, Johnathon Schaech giving a performance, new (terrible) vampire lore, waitresses who are really concerned about the coffee bill and just how many times can these characters run out of gas? Spoiler alert: a lot.

Silent Hill (2006) feat. Pod Mortem

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 07:05:00 +0000

This week on the pod, keep an ear out for the air siren because we're headed to Silent Hill (2006) for its 15th anniversary. Along for the ride are Renee, Travis and John Paul of Pod Mortem, who provide both game expertise and disdain for the presence of Sean Bean's Chris (we love the actor, but why is he here?!)

Up for discussion: how director Christophe Gans scored the gig, how writer Roger Avary paid homage to AND overcomplicated the game's plot and grievances about the 2+ hour runtime.

Plus: compliments for the production design and monster choreography, issues with the depiction of sexual assault (CW) and questions about founding a child sacrificing cult in a small town.

Don't get excited! This isn't a full episode on Wes Craven's Scream 4 (2011). It's simply an acknowledgement that the film, which is very important to us, is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

And so, in advance of our full length episode next January, here's a taste of why we love Scream 4.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) feat. Reyna Cervantes

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 07:05:17 +0000

The lambs have stopped screaming so we're going all-in on Jonathan Demme's critically-acclaimed and Oscar-winning film The Silence of the Lambs. Joining us is Reyna Cervantes, the co-host of the Horror In Session podcast!

In what is an admittedly unorthodox episode for us, we eschew a traditional plot summary in favor of a more analytical episode, looking back at the film's development while tackling the transphobic elements of Buffalo Bill and the impact it has had on the trans community in the 30 years since the film's release.

Plus, feminist horror, intent vs. impact, and what would a 4th season of Hannibal look like with Clarice Starling?

Reference: 30 years in, The Silence Of The Lambs’ Jame Gumb still deserves better, Harmony Colangelo for The A.V. Club

The Innocents (1961)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 7 Apr 2021 07:05:00 +0000

This week on the pod, we're headed back to Bly Manor with Jack Clayton's 1961 classic, The Innocents (see also: last year's Patreon episode on The Haunting of Bly Manor). This classic Gothic Horror film is reminiscent of Diabolique, Rebecca and The Haunting and has a strong queer connection thanks to screenwriter Truman Capote, whom we discuss at length, including Trace’s hatred of Holly Golightly.

Plus: an influential 15th century picture book, Cinemascope challenges, the genesis of Austin Powers, and evil children. But the real question is whether Miss Giddens is going mad...or are there actually ghosts?

Load up your Hot Topic gift bag, prep your Swedish meatballs and blast some "Living Dead Girl" because we're finally covering Ronny Yu's franchise revival Bride of Chucky! Joining us for the discussion is Kelly Gredner, 1/2 of the Spinsters of Horror!

Join us as we all go gaga for Tiffany's trailer (seriously, we want to live in it), praise Jennifer Tilly's perfect performance (and her spectacular outfits) and debate the pronunciation of the French word for "orgasm."

Kelly connects the film to her teenage Goth years, Joe discusses his personal connection with the film's queer character David (thanks, Don Mancini!) and Trace has an orgasmic reaction to that waterbed set piece.

Plus, a Heart of Damballa-shaped franchise plot hole, Windows 98 nostalgia, Kathy Najimy, and.....a Never Been Kissed reference? Barbie, eat your heart out.

The Skulls (2000) feat. ImmortalGraves

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 07:05:00 +0000

We're in the mood for a trashy secret society thriller, which is too bad because Rob Cohen's The Skulls (2000) ain't it. Helping us overcome our amnesia about what exactly happens in this snooze fest is Twitch host extraordinaire Steffi (aka ImmortalGraves). Predictably things get a little silly as we tackle robot thesis projects, Leslie Bibb's career, and rich white people nonsense like rowing and lacrosse.

Plus: Commemorative film tattoos, dumbwaiter horror, and ridiculous character names that we can't keep straight (Percy & Grimace?)

But for real: why isn't this damn film more homoerotic?!

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 07:05:00 +0000

Take out your enormous contact lenses because we're discussing Henri-Georges Clouzot's seminal 1955 chiller Diabolique! Joining us for the conversation are Jazz & Kat of the Girl, That's Scary! podcast!

Join us as we laud this horror film/revenge drama/ghost story/queer-ish love story and praise one of its co-leads (the wonderful Simone Signoret), while we question the acting abilities of "Heart Attack Girl," aka Mrs. Véra Clouzot (in a role given to her by her husband: the film's writer/director).

Throughout the episode, we'll compare Christina to Julie James, plan a movie night with Diabolique, Bound, Wild Things and Thelma & Louise and (of course) talk about that incredible twist ending.

Plus: neematoads, child-slapping, gaslighting, ghost suits and a 1996 remake with Sharon Stone (spoiler alert: it's pretty good!)!

Joining us is super fan Greg Mucci, who has controversial franchise opinions, as well as helpful sexual dietary advice (you want spunk talk? Well, we're giving it to you!)

Join us as we complain about the million characters, the missing gore and the lack of closure between Tina and Dr. Crews. Plus: the indestructible Kane Hodder, justice for Maddy and Eddie, hating Robin and Melissa and why Trace finds the ending so damn unsatisfying.

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Mar 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Get your strong hands out because we're discussing our first full-blown parody with Keenen Ivory Wayans' 2001 crude spoof Scary Movie 2! Joining us for the discussion is "The Oprah of Horror" (and Horror Movies and Beyond host) Ivotres Littles!

Join us as we look at this wackadoodle time capsule into the types of comedies we were getting in the early aughts, note the differences between parody and satire, and try (TRY) to figure out which jokes work and which works don't. But hey, all humor is subjective, right?

Plus: why Scary Movie 2 couldn't be made today, how the film and its humor have aged, its incredibly rushed production timeline and (of course) all the praise for Anna Faris and Regina Hall.

Freeway (1996)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 08:06:00 +0000

This week, in honor of trick baby Trace's birthday, we're delving into Matthew Bright's Freeway (1996), a "white trash" exploitation/rape revenge/little red riding hood genre mash-up starring a very foul mouthed Reese Witherspoon and predatory perv Kiefer Sutherland. Content warning: pedophilia, sexual assault, suicide and racism.

We discuss the stacked cast, the line between satire, parody and offensive humor, and the film's surprisingly smart class critique. Plus: Trace's favorite lines, Joe's difficulty divorcing the film from recent events and Brooke Shields' earrings! This is basically "genre whiplash, the movie" - it's A LOT and it's amazing.

After discussing the tropes of the found footage sub-genre, we'll discuss Robitel's ties to the Paranormal Activity franchise, and how this film does and doesn't stand out from its peers.

We'll also try to answer the most common questions brought up in discussions of the film: is the conflation of mental illness with possession offensive? Should the film have steered away from using First Nations/Indigenous practices as a plot point? (Why can't it just be a white person murder ritual, Karen?) and should more be made about Sarah's sexuality?

Plus: old lady possession vs hot young girl possession (paging Jennifer Carpenter!), snake wrangler sex jokes, concerns about the number of attics in a single house and, of course, lezzing out over Sarah and Sheriff Tweedy.

And of course: our thoughts on that money shot scene.

My Bloody Valentine (1981)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Just in time for Singles Awareness Day, we're losing our hearts to the 1981 Canadian slasher, My Bloody Valentine...or at least Joe is. Trace is more lukewarm on the George Mihalka film, which suffers from an uninspired villain reveal and too many characters.

We discuss the size (and deliciousness?) of hearts, why TJ's narrative is important for small town Nova Scotians, the cost of dirtying up a mine and Joe's strange personal connection to one of the film's actors.

Plus: love triangles, the film's censorship woes, Scream Factory gore and Scooby Doo antics. Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!

Splice (2010) feat. Prince Jackson

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Feb 2021 08:05:00 +0000

Our month of 3s has ended, so we're kicking off February with a discussion of Vincenzo Natali's supremely messed up sci-fi horror film (and secret Dark Castle film) Splice, which also acts as an early celebration of Joe's birthday! Joining us for the chat is Prince Jackson, host of our sister podcast Knight Light!

Before we get to it, just a heads up if you've never seen the film: we're issuing content warnings for rape, animal death, incest and (depending on how you view Dren) pedophilia and/or bestiality.

Obviously, we've got to talk about that ending, but we'll also gush over Canadian national treasure Sarah Polley, debate the film's unlikable mad scientist protagonists and try to gauge audience reactions when this hit theaters 11 years ago.

Plus, discussions of bad parenting paired with comparisons to Renny Harlin's Deep Blue Sea and Francis Ford Coppola's Jack!

Alien 3 (1992) feat. Sade Sellers

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 08:10:00 +0000

Our month of 3s comes to a close with David Fincher's Alien 3 (1992), which may take the prize for most convoluted production history. Here to help us make sense of the Assembly Cut (not the theatrical cut) is returning guest Sade Sellers (see previous episode Orphan), who has issues with the film's treatment of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and sexual assault (content warning!)

Plus: our secret connections to the number three, the xenomorph as drag queen, the differences between the theatrical and assembly cuts and Charles S. Dutton as a sacrificial lamb. Also: Joe's love of Charles Dance, confusion over "womb stuff" and why Fincher needs to get over his hatred of his directorial debut.

Psycho 3 (1986)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 08:05:00 +0000

We're in our third week of 3s, and what better way to celebrate than with good ol' Norman Bates himself in Anthony Perkins' directorial debut Psycho III? Despite the film's iconic opening line, there has to be a God, right? otherwise we wouldn't have this darkly comedic entry in the Psycho franchise!

Join us as we delve deep into the closeted life of Anthony Perkins, look for queerness in his unique directing style (so many colors and fun transitions!), lament the rushed third act and become flabbergasted at one of the most incoherent exposition dumps ever put on film.

Plus, suicidal nuns, Jeff Fahey's teeth, bloody ice, strategically placed purple lamps, and the franchise's very own Gale Weathers in Roberta Maxwell's ambitious journalist Tracy Venable. This is a wild one, y'all!

Micro Queers: Flesh (2016)

This week on Micro Queers, we're discussing Monika Estrella Negra's short Flesh (click the link to view the 15-minute-long short), which follows a young, Black queer woman (Esther Matthews Alegria) in the DIY Punk scene in Chicago. Feeling entrapped by her own community, she seeks to destroy what ultimately is destroying her.

Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth (1992) feat. Bryan Christopher

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 08:05:54 +0000

Our month of 3s continues with Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, the third entry in the Hellraiser franchise and who better to join us than mega fan Bryan Christopher? In the 1992 Anthony Hickox-directed film, the action shifts from the UK to New York (cough North Carolina cough) as Doug Bradley's Pinhead channels Freddy and Wishmaster while tempting a playboy club owner, a homeless runaway and an ambitious reporter.

Expect another troubled production, the first use of CGI in a horror film and not one, but TWO over the top set pieces, including an infamous nightclub murder spree and a blasphemous church sequence. Plus: pillar jokes, kitchen fires and lots of tangents about the terrible sequels in the franchise's back half.

Scream 3 (2000)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Jan 2021 08:05:00 +0000

The third year of the pod kicks off with our annual tradition: a Scream film! Scream 3 (2000) is arguably the least popular film in the franchise, but it's due for a critical reappraisal as we unpack all of the its challenges, including no script, an in-demand Neve Campbell, post-Columbine timing, a move to comedic Hollywood and studio interference (The Weinsteins again!)

Thankfully we have Parker Posey, Patrick Dempsey's luscious hair, an ambitious - if misguided - attempt to retcon the root of all of Sid's trauma and a post #MeToo reckoning that makes the film quite prescient.

For a good time, throw in a game of toot it or boot it, Trace's confusion over the expression "Red Shirts", and a Meryl Streep blaxploitation film. Plus: how many times will we say the words Scooby Doo? Welcome to our third year!

Terror Train (1980) feat. Homos on Haunted Hill

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 08:05:00 +0000

Happy New Year, everyone! We're hopping aboard a party train to ring in the new year with Roger Spottiswoode's Jamie Lee Curtis-starring slasher film Terror Train! Joining us for the bash are Chris Moore and Kevin Jones, the co-hosts of the Homos on Haunted Hill podcast!

Join us as we discuss the slasher go-to of pranks being the reason for someone killing a bunch of horny dumb-dumbs, read into the queer coding of Doc (Hart Bochner....again!) and Mo (Timothy Webber) and instigate the #JusticeForMitchy movement.

Plus: yearbooks in college? Another cross-dressing serial killer? Lots of magic with David Copperfield! And how about that 2008 would-be remake starring Thora Birch?

Oh, and if you'd like to read the interview with Derek MacKinnon (Kenny Hampson) that we reference in the episode, you can do so here.

The Cell (2000)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 08:05:00 +0000

Happy holidays, everyone! We usually take this week off, but we had an extra episode in the Horror Queers archives that we recorded back in October for the Nightstream Film Festival, and we thought we’d release it as a little holiday treat for all of you. That treat comes in the form of a discussion of all things J. Lo in Tarsem Singh's The Cell!

Join us as we enter the mind of a killer and try to figure out whether the film really is "style over substance," defend Lopez against the haters and discuss the implications of giving a serial killer an empathetic backstory (especially one that involves potential queerness).

Plus, suspension masturbation, a Sindel cameo and another Lizzie McGuire connection! The Cell really is a better Nightmare on Elm Street sequel than, well, some of the Nightmare on Elm Street sequels.

Better Watch Out (2016) feat. Ariel Fisher

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 08:05:00 +0000

This week on the pod, we're wrapping up the holiday season with queer writer/director Chris Peckover's 2016 film Better Watch Out. We're joined by returning guest Ariel Fisher and...well let's just say that both the film and the discussion go places that you might not expect.

Big, flashing SPOILER WARNINGS for the film, as well as We Summon The Darkness.

Also: TRIGGER WARNING. We get into some heavy, uncomfortable, challenging topics, including rape, sexual assault, toxic masculinity and micro aggressions. Take care of yourself before listening.

It's not all doom and gloom, though: there's also a running gag about the Power Rangers movie.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) feat. Lindsay Traves

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 9 Dec 2020 08:05:00 +0000

Our Angel of Death awaits as we enter the dark streets of Gotham City to discuss the first (and only?) Batman slasher film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm! Joining us for the discussion is Batman expert (and all-around swell gal) Lindsay Traves!

We'll delve into the film's rushed production and failure at the box office. Joe compares the Bruce/Andrea romance to a similar one in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Lindsay gives her reading on the romantic (or sexual?) relationship between Batman and the Joker.

We'll also highlight the importance of having an openly gay actor (Kevin Conroy) voice Batman, lament the inherent gatekeep-iness of comics and have a grand ol' time pitching the live-action casting of Andrea Beaumont.

Plus, Joker = horror (and plenty of Mark Hamill praise), balaclavas vs. bolas, Tia Carrere and Trace confesses one of his incredibly embarrassing high school horror stories. Oh, and masturbating to video game characters, because why not?

Krampus (2015) feat. Bobby Torrez

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 2 Dec 2020 08:05:00 +0000

We're kicking off the holiday season by hunkering down in a snow globe with YouTube star Bobby Torrez and a screening of Michael Dougherty's Krampus (2015).

The film has an all-star cast (Toni Collette! Adam Scott! Allison Tolman! David Koechner!), but doesn't manage to nail its balance of tones like Trick 'r Treat did. Thankfully the film has a great score (suck it Joe!) and a fantastically unnerving jack in the box named Der Klown, who Trace cannot stop jizzing over. Plus: Krampus as an LGBT icon, why the holidays are hard for queers, and lesbian-coded twins.

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) feat. Doctor Jon Paul Higgins

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 08:05:00 +0000

Get your hand grenade cocktail ready because we're heading to the glorious city of New Orleans to pick apart queer director Bill Condon's(!) 1995 slasher sequel Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh! Joining us for the discussion is renowned professor and national speaker Doctor Jon Paul Higgins!

As we walk along the parade route, we'll discuss the oft-used white savior trope (Seth Cohen's mom really wants to save these black teens!), family secrets involving mixed race genealogy and the always welcome presence of Tony Todd.

Plus, lengthy shots of a snow cones, atrocious mid-'90s CGI, magic mirrors and the film's odd decision to double down on black pain. Oh, and why is this New Orleans school open on Mardi Gras?

Cruising (1980) feat. Andrew Scahill

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 08:10:00 +0000

Hold onto your hips and lips because for our 100th episode, we're going Cruising! Along for the *ahem* ride, is film professor Andrew Scahill, who guides us through an academic deep dive of the 1980 William Friedkin film, which has been one of our most requested titles since we started Horror Queers!

There's LOTS to talk about: the heavily protested production, the depiction of the gay community, the critique of the police, and the frank depiction of sex and community. Throw in the film's historical legacy and its reappraisal through a contemporary lens and there's plenty to sink our teeth into.

Plus: Pacino's look of gay panic, The Velvet Rage, and a Rebecca/Cruising porn parody! Don't blame us - you made us do this!

The Ruins (2008) feat. Dax Ebaben

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 08:05:00 +0000

Can four Americans on vacation in Mexico just disappear? We're here to find out as we discuss previous guest Carter Smith's 2008 pandemic creature feature The Ruins! Joining us is Bloody Disgusting's own Dax Ebaben!

Join us as we discuss the Stephen King-approved source material (aka one of the scariest novels of the 21st century) and how it translates to the screen in the Ben Stiller(!)-produced film that most critics compared unfavorably to Little Shop of Horrors (those critics are dumb).

Plus, sad handjobs, impromptu amputations, questionable German accents (sorry, Joe Anderson) and all the praise for Laura Ramsey's tragic performance.

Copycat (1995) feat. K Lynch

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Nov 2020 08:05:00 +0000

Here's our Salem Horror Fest episode on Jon Amiel's vastly underrated (and under-seen) 1995 film Copycat! Joining us for the discussion is the director of the festival themselves: K Lynch!

Join us as we wax poetic over the incredible performances of Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter and the implied lesbianism between their characters, raise our eyebrows at Harry Connick Jr's "squirrel covers"-obsessed serial killer, and debate whether or not killing off the only explicitly gay character is homophobic.

Plus, we'll lament the fact that Copycat was released in the shadow of Se7en, which came out just a month prior. But never fear! We'll sing the film's praises and point out all the things it gets right, and why it should be remembered as a classic '90s thriller.

Hocus Pocus (1993) feat. Laura Di Girolamo

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 07:10:00 +0000

'Tis time, sistahs! For our Halloween episode, we're riding our vacuums to Salem to hang out with the Sanderson Sisters. Along for the ride is Laura Di Girolamo, co-director of The Bloody Mary Film Festival and self-proclaimed Hocus Pocus obsessive (how many times has she seen this?!)

We're running amok, amok, amok praising Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and never-more-beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker, while throwing shade at Thackery Binx's work ethic and Omri Katz's atrocious Final Boy, Max.

Plus: Joe's theory about virginity (courtesy of Aaron Wallace's Hocus Pocus in Focus), Kenny Ortega's history as a queer activist, the functionality of hair curlers and Trace's argument that the film is legitimate gateway horror (child death!)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 07:10:00 +0000

Keep those pumpkins lit and pass out the candy because this week on the pod we're discussing Mike Dougherty's 2007 (or is it 2009?) Trick 'r Treat.

Joining us is fellow writer (and Trace's real life co-worker!) Marisa Mirabal, who agrees with Joe that this is the best horror anthology film, why she hates superhero films and why the film's score deserves more praise.

Plus: which segments we prefer, Sam's ascent into the horror icon hall of fame (merchandising!) and the film's unfortunate connection to not one, but two shitty men!

Rebecca (1940)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Last night, we dreamt we went to Manderley again, but today we're actually going there! We're going to be discussing lesbian housekeepers and spousal abuse in Alfred Hitchcock's only Best Picture-winning film: Rebecca!

Join us as we discuss all the drama behind the tense relationship between Hitch and producer David O. Selznick before looking at how the Hays Code affected the film (bye bye, Maxim the Murderer!). Plus, a queer reading of the villainous housekeeper Mrs. Danvers and how she may be a reflection of Rebecca author Daphne du Maurier's internalized homophobia.

Also, why does Maxim suck so much? How does Rebecca, a character we never see, make such a huge impression? And is Mrs Danvers actually a tragic figure?

It's time for another outing of Micro Queers! This week we're discussing Dominic Haxton's short Tonight, It's You (click the link to view the 17-minute-long short), which is a bad hook-up story between two men set in the Mid-West that has inspired polarizing reactions from audiences.

Click the link to watch Tonight, It's Me, Haxton's 2014 short with frequent collaborator Jake Robbins, which is considered a spiritual predecessor.

The Final Girls (2015) feat. Jenn Adams

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 7 Oct 2020 07:10:00 +0000

This week on the podcast, we're escaping into the movies (literally) to revisit queer screenwriters M.A. Fortin & Joshua John Miller's meta horror comedy The Final Girls. Joining us at Camp Bloodbath is Jenn Adams, co-host of Psycho Analysis Podcast and The Losers Club Podcast, who has a deep appreciation for the film's emotional beats.

We spend plenty of time unpacking this comfort horror film, particularly the mother/daughter relationship between Malin Akerman and Trace's fave, Taissa Farmiga, and Vicki (Nina Dobrev)'s redemptive arc.

Plus: disagreements over Adam Devine and Thomas Middleditch's humor, getting sidetracked talking about everyone's filmography and the apex of Joe's inability to pronounce names correctly.

The Vampire Lovers (1970) feat. Mary Beth McAndrews

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 07:05:00 +0000

On this week's episode, we're making our first foray into Hammer Horror with a journey to 19th century Styria in Roy Ward Baker's The Vampire Lovers. Joining us for the discussion is Scarred for Life co-host Mary Beth McAndrews, who brings her own passion for vampires to the episode.

After a brief crash course on Hammer Horror, we'll laud the performances of Ingrid Pitt as the thrice-named anti-heroic vampire Marcilla/Carmilla/Mircalla, marvel at the unusual vampire lore (shrouds?!), and lament the lack of any interesting male characters (though that is undoubtedly the point).

Plus, Mary Beth leads us in a frank discussion of bisexuality and the vampire sub-genre's relationship to it, which isn't too shocking considering this film is sexy af.

Showgirls (1995) feat. Nay Bever

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 07:10:00 +0000

This week on the pod, we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of (decidedly NOT a horror film) Showgirls. Along for the road trip to Vegas is Attack of the Queerwolf co-host Nay Bever, who delivers both laughs and insightful commentary.

This probably isn't the episode you're expecting: sure we poke fun at the film's ridiculous elements, but we spend most of our time discussing the film's many terrible men, analyze the success of the film's satire, question who the film's intended audience is and deconstruct the implications of the controversial rape scene.

It's not all serious though. Expect talk of titties, diva worship of both Gershon and Berkley and a laugh or two about the stage production of Goddess.

Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) feat. Zena Dixon

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Grab your fencing gear and get ready to submit your student film for the coveted Hitchcock Award, because we're discussing the 2000 slasher sequel ‘Urban Legends: Final Cut’ with “Real Queen of Horror” (and co-host of the Bloody Disgusting Podcast) Zena Dixon!

Join us as we dive into this much-maligned film, which was directed by famous composer John Ottman (who manages to integrate tons of horror movie references into the film). We've got all areas of the spectrum covered, as Joe hates the film, Zena loves it, and Trace falls somewhere in between.

Of course, we'll have to cover the bad: Did Ottman take on too much by opting to direct, compose and co-edit the film? Why does this franchise have a knack for bland-o final girls? Why are all the kills so weak? Is Eva Mendes' lesbian character predatory? And does this film feature the most ridiculous motive ever for a slasher movie villain?

But hey, it's not all bad. We've got a kidney heist (in a sequence written by the first film's screenwriter Silvio Horta). We've got inspired performances from Jessica Cauffiel (Valentine and Legally Blonde) and a returning Loretta Devine (whose security guard Reese was sadly dumbed down between films). Oh, and another connection to The Lizzie McGuire Movie!

The Quiet (2005) feat. Kill By Kill

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 9 Sep 2020 07:05:15 +0000

On this week's episode, we're evoking the spirit of American Beauty with lesbian director Jamie Babbit's incest drama/thriller The Quiet. Thankfully we've got Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe of the Kill by Kill podcast to help us unpack all of the lurid melodrama of this Elisha Cuthbert/Camilla Belle stinker.

Where did this snooze worthy film go wrong: the languid pacing? The atrocious dialogue? Aiming for prestige instead of embracing queerness and camp?

In between bouts of maniacal laughter about milkshakes, masturbation and Belle's complete lack of screen presence, we never quite reach consensus (Trace *likes* this film...but can't explain why!). All we know for certain is that Connor Kennedy wants to fuck us!

Micro Queers: Black Cat in a Dark Room (2019)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 4 Sep 2020 07:05:00 +0000

We're back with another outing of Micro Queers, and this week we're discussing Leland Montgomery's lesbian vampire short Black Cat in a Dark Room (click the link to view the 14-minute-long short), which takes a somewhat different approach to the vampire sub-genre.

Tenebrae (1982) feat. Michael Varrati

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 2 Sep 2020 07:05:25 +0000

On this week's episode, Joe, Trace and special returning guest Michael Varrati board a plane to Rome to discuss the pod's very first Dario Argento film, 1982 (or is it 1984?)'s Tenebrae.

This is another video nasty (see our episode on Island of Death), so it's got a convoluted production history that includes censorship and rumored on-set tension between Argento and frequent collaborator Daria Nicolodi. Tenebrae is also a surprisingly queer positive text from the master of horror, from the casual inclusion of a lesbian couple in the film's most notorious set piece to the casting of trans actress Eva Robins. It's also textbook Freudian psychosexual, right down to those red heels.

Come for Michael's impassioned defence of dubbing in Gialli, stay for Trace's love of the doberman sequence (the Helen Shivers of giallo setpieces!), then leave for Michael's terrible dad jokes.

What Keeps You Alive (2018)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 07:05:00 +0000

We're heading to a cabin in the beautiful woods of Muskoka, Ontario to celebrate the anniversary of the two lovely ladies at the center of Colin Minihan's 2018 thriller What Keeps You Alive!

After discussing the implications of the film changing the protagonists of the original script (a heterosexual couple) to a lesbian couple, we'll then delve into the film's only real acknowledgement of the struggles of being gay (in a sequence that is quite personal to Joe). Yet we can't deny that the film has quite a few insightful things to say about relationships, especially its emphasis on the importance of communication (ya know, so you're not blindsided by the fact that your spouse is actually a psychopath). That it's anchored by two stellar lead performances doesn't hurt, either.

Plus, we'll (rightly) laud the film's memorable rowboat set piece (yes, really), gush over the blacklight-lit montage that cleverly uses Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", and feel equally frustrated with the film's protracted third act.

Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 07:05:49 +0000

Since we're in the middle of "Vacation Month," we're taking a vacation! Enjoy this Patreon-exclusive (well, not anymore) episode that we recorded back in February for our loyal Patrons. Congrats, all you non-Patrons. Here's a taste of what life is like on the wild side.

Prep your boring, inane (sex?) fantasies, because we are en route to Blumhouse's Fantasy Island. This is the second Blumhouse production in as many months to feature pretty people battling villains with black goo coming out of their eyes; it's also the second feature in a row from writer/director Jeff Wadlow to feature a gay asian character, so someone's got a fetish.

Up for discussion: Trace thinks this film is entertaining and stupid, while Joe thinks it is lazy and boring. We both agree, however, that the twist makes NO SENSE. Of course neither does the island's geography, or the number of characters, or its resolution.

Oh, and there's the fun implications of suggesting being bullied turns you into a stalker/killer. Thankfully we have goddesses Maggie Q and Lucy Hale (plus everyone's favorite lovable asshole, Ryan Hansen) to keep us entertained as we wade through this nearly 2-hour train wreck.

Micro Queers: Hey You (2019)

We're back with our second outing of Micro Queers, and this week we're discussing Jared Watmuff's award-winning short film Hey You (click the link to view the 4-minute-long short), which chronicles the dangers of dating app hookups with a real-world horror twist.

Island of Death (1976)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 07:10:00 +0000

Vacation Month continues with a trip to beautiful - and exceedingly queer - Mykonos and Nico Mastorakis' notorious exploitation/video nasty film, Island of Death. This is the Stefon of horror films because it has EVERYTHING: bestiality, incest, targeted homophobic violence, misogyny, rape and so much more (please pay attention to the content warning!)

After the film's lengthy production history and categorization in the UK's notorious list of video nasties (thanks for the background info, Anya Stanley!), we compare our readings of the film. Trace says it's merely shock value while Joe argues it's a comedy about religious hypocrisy (Mastorakis himself would say it's nothing more than an opportunity to make money!)

Plus: comparisons to Silent Night, Deadly Night 2, Haneke, and Last House on the Left; Trace's forgetful history with onscreen bestiality; and logistical advice for water sports. Finally, we make a special request for Greek listeners: is your name Nico and did you work on this film?

Micro Queers: Instinct (2018)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 7 Aug 2020 07:05:00 +0000

We're trying something new and exciting! This weekly "micro" spin-off of Horror Queers will examine queer horror shorts in an effort to amplify the work of talented filmmakers who may not yet have made a feature film. The sole criteria: the shorts will always be queer or made by queer directors and they will always be freely available for public consumption.

To kick things off, we're starting with Brazilian genre director Maria Alice Arida's film Instinct (click to view the short), which chronicles the dangerous attraction between older gallery owner Isabelle and provocative new performance artist Camila. Be sure to watch the 18 minute short before you listen to our discussion!

The Descent (2005)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Aug 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Pack your climbing gear because we're headed to the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina to go caving with the ladies (er....chicks with picks) of Neil Marshall's 2005 masterpiece The Descent on its 15th anniversary! How is a movie this scary when the monsters don't even appear until an hour into the film?

Join us as we....um....descend into a discussion of why Juno (Natalie Mendoza) is a compelling character in spite of all of her mistakes (thanks, Joe!). We'll also investigate the potential queerness of Beth (Alex Reid) and Holly (Nora-Jane Noone) and choose between the UK and US endings of the film (spoiler alert: it's an easy choice). Also does The Descent feature the most tense scene in cinema history?

Plus, an educational TED talk about the differences between claustrophobia and cleithrophobia. Why can't Trace stop bringing up the atrocious 2009 sequel? What is a dealbreaker movie and why do both of us consider The Descent to be one? And how do you give a lemon an orgasm?

Fright Night (1985) feat. Peaches Christ

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 07:05:00 +0000

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of quintessential queer horror film Fright Night, the boys, along with special guest (and FN super fan) Peaches Christ, head to the suburbs along with our hunky live-in-carpenter, our collection of knit sweaters and an entire wall full of clocks.

Things get personal as Peaches shares her experience of working with Stephen Geoffreys, Joe confesses that the Tom Holland film is the genesis of his journey into queer horror and Trace discloses why Evil Ed's story arc made such an impact on him as a young gay teen. Expect a lot of conversation about how vital Ed's death scene is to the film's success and how rare it is in horror.

It's not all serious though! Trace finally acknowledges that costumes in movies exist; Joe delivers a pornographic ode to Chris Sarandon's sweaters; and Peaches shares gossip about Vincent Price "straight" from the mouth of none other than Elvira herself! Plus: the film's legacy as the other queer horror film of 1985, celebrating Amanda Bearse as a lesbian icon (with extended discussion on Married...with Children) and a conspiracy theory about how much Kevin Williamson must have loved this film.

The Old Dark House (1932) feat. Kate Graham

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Pack your umbrella because we're braving bucketfuls of rain in the Welsh countryside as we make our way to James Whale's 1932 film The Old Dark House! Joining us for a threesome is Kate Graham, the co-host of the Stop! Horror Time! podcast.

Join us as we enter the House Femm and meet all of its kooky queer characters and sit down for a lovely dinner of roast beef and potatoes. Enjoy it while it lasts, though, because it won't be long before the mute butler Morgan (Boris Karloff) breaks into the liquor cabinet, and that's never a fun time!

We'll discuss Whale's important place in the annals of queer horror, laugh at his spoofing of heterosexuality (a marriage proposal within 12 hours of meeting? C'mon!) and play 'I Spy' with all of the secret queer aspects Whale had to sneak into the film.

Plus, Joe lauds the film's secret third-act villain who is also a pyromaniac (or...flaming?), Trace makes an attempt to scat and Kate educates us all on the reasoning behind the gender-bending patriarch of the Femm family.

What Lies Beneath (2000)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 07:05:00 +0000

We're traveling to a breezy lakeside in Vermont to check in with recent empty-nester Michelle Pfeiffer and her totally not-a-murderer husband Harrison Ford in Robert Zemeckis' 'What Lies Beneath', which turns 20 this week!

Join us as we both marvel at Zemeckis' fantastic (if overlong) homage to Hitchcock ('Rear Window'? Check. 'Vertigo'? Check. 'Psycho'? Check, check, check!), praise Pfeiffer's mesmerizing performance and discuss how the film can be viewed differently in a post #MeToo world (there's so much gaslighting in this film, y'all).

Plus, why doesn't ghost Amber Valletta just tell Pfeiffer exactly what's going on? Why does Diana Scarwid just disappear from the movie? And why does the subplot about spousal abuse come to absolutely nothing?

May (2002) feat. Katie Rife

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 8 Jul 2020 07:05:00 +0000

After multiple requests, the time has finally come to crack the glass and dive deep into the sad, introverted, homicidal world of May, Lucky McKee's 2002 feature directorial debut, starring UBER talented actress Angela Bettis.

Along for the ride is The AV Club's Katie Rife, who joins the boys to dissect Anna Faris' predatory lesbian Polly, Jeremy Sisto's fuck boy Adam (and his Horror Bro short film) and poor May, who we are equally drawn to and horrified by.

Up for discussion: why Trace hates the word "gams", melons as a lesbian seduction tactic, Rian Johnson's not-so-secret obsession with the film, speculation about which character is a McKee stand-in and debate about whether we give May a pass because she's female (thanks BJ Colangelo!). Also, Katie needs to investigate her vet sister's basement for bodies.

Finally, in the spirit of the film's obsession with patching and stitching things together, please accept our apologies for the occasional echo-y sound as this episode required more editing than a Frankenstein best friend named Amy.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) feat. Ari Drew

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 Jul 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Happy 4th of July, Julie! We're celebrating the holiday (and Canada Day....) in Southport, North Carolina to discuss the seminal post-Scream slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Joining us is Trace's husband, Ari Drew, who is getting a redo after Trace drunkenly botched his previous guest appearance on The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

After Ari tells us how he tricked a bunch of straight dudes into seeing IKWYDLS back in 1997, we all discuss the film's unearned reputation as a "Scream rip-off" before praising it for being one of the most mature films of the slasher genre. Not only does it choose to focus on characters over kills (something that probably pissed off a lot of people looking for a traditional slasher), but it offers so many poignant moments between Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar).

We'll also tackle the film's origins as an (extremely loose) adaptation of a Lois Duncan novel and analyze its place in slasher history as an ode to '80s slashers with a Scream aesthetic mixed in (it's the best of both decades!).

Plus, getting boned up over long slashers, Jennifer Love Huge Tits, Ray "Not A Character" Bronson and Ryan "Do Me Daddy" Phillippe. Oh! And you don't think we'd spend two hours discussing this film without devoting an entire segment to Gellar's epic chase scene, do you?

And if you want even more I Know What You Did Last Summer shenanigans, subscribe to the Final Girl tier on our Patreon to gain access to over 50 hours of bonus content, including a brand new audio commentary on I Still Know What You Did Last Summer!

The Craft (1996) feat. Valeska Griffiths

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 04:10:00 +0000

For our final episode of Pride Month, we're calling the corners and invoking the spirit of Manon. That's right: it's time to discuss Andrew Fleming's 1996 ode to female friendships and the dangers of all-consuming power.

Joining the boys is Joe's horror bestie, Valeska Griffiths, who unpacks why this film is so important for female and/or queer horror fans. We discuss the film's nostalgic value, its pop culture impact, and question the way race and sexual assault is handled (Christine Taylor deserved worse!). This leads to speculation about the forthcoming remake, the need for female horror creatives and the distinction between "bitchy" and "mean" girls.

Plus: wise cracks about snake wranglers, Trace's affinity for Charmed, Hot Topic, and whether Robin Tunney looks better bald or in a green wig.

Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981) feat. FriGay the 13th

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 04:05:00 +0000

Pride month continues with a queer positive slasher film that most people have never seen!

We're joined by fellow queer podcasters Andrew and Matty, aka FriGay the 13th, to unpack the delirious madness of Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (aka Night Warning). This exploitation/video nasty tends to make waves for Susan Tyell's incestuous relationship with her twinky son, but the real topic here is the film's true villain: the homophobic cop who hates gays.

In addition to its bombastic Final Destination 2 opening car crash and William Asher's workmanlike direction, the group debates Tyrell's artistic choices, sports in slashers, and twinks vs daddies. Plus: Andrew is obsessed with Julie the indestructible girlfriend, and Trace wonders who has a machete lying around the house? Also: do vaginas have flaps like boxes?

Finally, and most significantly, a serious talk about how Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker reflects real life tensions between the queer community and the police and how the film's odd double release pattern put it on opposite sides of the AIDS epidemic.

Lord of Illusions (1995)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Continuing our Pride Month marathon, we're checking in with Clive Barker's third (and final) directorial effort 'Lord of Illusions', which features the first (and only) live-action appearance of Barker's recurring protagonist Harry D'Amour (Scott Bakula).

Topics up for discussion include: forehead buttholes, studio interference leading to a Director's Cut, mid-'90s special effects, magic vs. illusion and queer henchman Butterfield's Visible Penis Line.

Also, Trace lauds everything cult-related in the film, but struggles with all of the noir elements. Joe gushes over all things Famke Janssen. And both of us praise Barker for the unapologetic queerness that he injects into so much of his work, paving the way for queer horror outlets like us.

Hellbent (2004)/Killer Unicorn (2018) feat. Sam Wineman

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Jun 2020 07:05:00 +0000

To kick off Pride Month, we're hosting a double feature tracing the journey of the all-too-rare queer slasher film (things sure have changed in the last 15 years!). The two films up for discussion? 2004's 'Hellbent' and 2018's 'Killer Unicorn'. Joining us is Sam Wineman, the director of Shudder's upcoming queer horror documentary!

First up, we're heading to Los Angeles to attend the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival in Paul Etheredge's 'Hellbent'. After marvelling at the fact that this film was even able to get made, we'll discuss the film's lengthy production, portrayals of various queer archetypes and how each of us sought out queer media in the early 2000s.

Next, we're walking the streets of Brooklyn to party it up at the Annual Enema Party (because that's a thing) in Drew Bolton's 'Killer Unicorn'. We'll discuss the in-your-face queerness of the film, which is both good (a queer love scene, poppers representation and some very, very queer-themed deaths) and bad (drug abuse stereotypes, mean characters and an ill-advised & mishandled rape subplot).

It's going to be a party to die for, y'all!

The Handmaiden (2016) feat. Jenny Nulf

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 May 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Hold on to your minling balls, because we're heading to Japanese-occupied Korea with return guest Jenny Nulf (check out our previous episode on Fatal Frame) to discuss Park Chan-wook’s masterful and twisty film The Handmaiden.

After a brief history lesson, we dive right into this lengthy little film to marvel at how nothing in Park's semi-loose adaptation of a Victorian era-set British novel gets lost in translation.

Topics up for discussion include: safe spaces for actors when filming explicit, sex scenes, the practicality of scissoring, and various types of porn (house, landscape and regular). Oh, and octopuses.

Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 (1987) feat. Leigh Monson

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 20 May 2020 04:10:00 +0000

Grab your tiara, your emerald gown and your murder cape because it's prom season and the campaign to crown a Queen is vicious! Mary Lou Maloney is slaying the competition, bedding all of the boys and leaving her mark on the confessional wall...and on the stage. Joining the boys to discuss this Canadian slasher gem is Leigh Monson, who helps to unpack why Mary Lou is both a sex positive queer icon and a villain to root for.

Perhaps we're possessed by the spirit of Mary Lou, but things get a little raunchy: we talk about the queer connotations of the naked shower sequence, Principal Billy's son getting pegged, a sexy pony ride, and kissing your Daddy. Oh and Trace yearns for a clean glory hole experience...

Plus: a running gag about the film's long legacy on future horror films, Leigh's fondness for humping cut-outs, a lesson on Canadian film funding by Joe and why Trace is totally an Ursula.

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998) feat. Haleigh Foutch

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 May 2020 07:05:00 +0000

Ruh roh! In anticipation of Scoob! being released this weekend, we're having our first Horror Queers double feature with 1998's classic animated film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and its, like, totally meta 2019 sequel Scooby Doo! Return to Zombie Island. Joining us for this venture is Collider's Haleigh Foutch, who joins Trace in being a fellow Scooby-head (as opposed to Joe, who is decidedly not).

Join us as we discuss all things Scooby-Doo, from its status as a form of gateway horror for a certain generation of horror fans to the various forms of media it's influenced in its 50-year(!) run (see: Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

We'll trace the franchise from its the low period in the early '90s to its resurgence on Cartoon Network to its re-validation with the release of Zombie Island (and yes, we'll make plenty of comparisons to the Scream franchise).

Plus: questionable French accents (sorry, Adrienne Barbeau), lesbian cat creatures, Velma porn and a Joe Bob vs. Elvira debate. Finally, why does Fred want to have sex with the Mystery Machine? Your guess is as good as ours!

Grace (2009) feat. Anya Stanley

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 May 2020 05:05:00 +0000

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! We're celebrating this sacred holiday with a discussion of booby horror and queer baby mama drama in Paul Solet's Grace! Joining us for the discussion is journalist and mother Anya Stanley, who brings some much-needed maternal instincts to the discussion. Fair warning, though: this is not a film to watch if you're already pregnant..

Join us as we discuss the greatness that is the supremely underrated Jordan Ladd, as well as admire Solet's use of sound design and lighting in the film. Plus, is the evil mother-in-law an example of unintentional camp? You tell us!

Also on the docket: a debate on how to pronounce the word "midwifery," water births, Trace's sore left nipple and learning to flambé while cooking liver and onions!

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 04:05:00 +0000

Just in time for its tenth anniversary, the boys head to Elm Street to revisit Platinum Dunes’ worst remake. This film is a disaster for several reasons: from its condensed production timeline to its unmemorable set pieces to its extremely miscast leading lady, Snoozey Mara (credit the Halloweenies podcast for that gem!).

What's extra frustrating is how likable the rest of the cast is! Jackie Earle Haley is trying his darnedest to bring something new to Freddy Krueger while poor Thomas Dekker (our queer connection) only gets to play angry and Katie Cassidy should have been the Final Girl. Then there's Kyle Gallner, who not only rocks a speedo, but is forced to carry the entire back half of the film by himself!

We dig into all of the dirt, including first time feature writer Eric Heisserer's candid complaints about changes to the screenplay, the three big set pieces that were shot, then excised and aren't included in the Blu special features and, finally, the film's extremely poor handling of its child molestation storyline, which is never given the attention or care that such a delicate topic demands.

Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) feat. Tyler Jensen & Roman Chimienti

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 05:05:00 +0000

We're joining forces with Tyler Jensen and Roman Chimienti, the directors of the superb queer documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street, in Phoenix Arizona (and later Orange Country, California) to discuss the "Other Side" in the 1986 sequel Poltergeist II: The Other Side!

After spilling the tea on last year's live episode on A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, we dive into Brian Gibson's sequel that at least tries to do something different (as opposed to repeating the most successful parts of the original film). Is it wholly successful? That matter is up for debate, as the film holds a special place in Roman's heart, while it was a first-time viewing for us.

Join us as we discuss Reverend Henry Kane (a bisexual Julian Beck), the villain that terrified a generation of children. Also up for discussion are the diminished roles of Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) and Tangina (Zelda Rubinstein), the laughable effects of the 3-minute-long climax in the titular Other Side and what it means to live a "normal" life.

It's not all bad, though! We admire the chemistry and charisma of the film's co-leads Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams, the superb practical effects (that vomit monster!) and the historical importance of the film's release during the Night Stalker's reign of terror.

Reefer Madness (2005)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 05:05:00 +0000

Happy 4/20, y'all! We're celebrating with a pack of giggle sticks, a chocolate brownie-scented DVD box and a movie musical! That's right, we're discussing the TV film adaptation of the stage musical adaptation of the 1936 propaganda film: Reefer Madness! Just hope we don't turn into cannibalistic murderers like some of the people in this movie.

Before we take a hit, we go into our own personal histories with marijuana and discuss the circumstances that led to the original (and absolutely terrible) 1936 film. From there, it's a one-way trip to toke town which inspires an impromptu Alexis Schitt impersonation from Joe and an in-depth discussion of....the movie Burlesque?

We quickly course-correct and praise the great Alan Cumming (who portrays no less than three characters in the film), Ana Gasteyer (Trace's choice for film MVP), Amy Spanger (Joe's choice for film MVP), a dominatrix Kristen Bell, a cameo-ing Neve Campbell, a creepy Steven Weber and Christian (brother of Neve) Campbell, aka the Human Dimple.

Warning for the faint of heart: this film is patently offensive to everyone, so no PC police here! We've got jokes about race, rape, queerness, women, men and, of course, drugs (would that it have been mere heroin!). Oh, and don't forget about blasphemy: we've also got Alan Cumming as goat Satan, Jesus singing about weed and stripper angels. And watch out for those singing carnivorous clams!

And if you really want to have some fun, take a drink (or a hit) every time Trace says he loves something about the movie.

Interview: Eric Charmelo on Ringer & The Perfection

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 04:05:00 +0000

You didn't think we would let the co-creator/showrunner of The CW's Ringer (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as twins!) and the co-writer of The Perfection (one of our absolute favorite films of last year) go without spilling the tea, did you?!

Eric was kind enough to chat with us a little longer about the behind the scenes drama that allowed Ringer to embrace its true campy potential ~5-6 episodes in, what the original architecture of the show was and what would have happened in seasons two AND three if it had of been renewed!

Then, when we switch over to The Perfection, Eric tells us where the film was originally set and why that first act was moved to China, how he, co-writer Nicole Synder and director Richard Shepard broke the film's complicated narrative, the pros and cons of going to Netflix and how they landed Steven Weber. Plus: a little more detail on his next project and why it simply *had* to be set in Paris!

American Psycho (2000) feat. Eric Charmelo

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 8 Apr 2020 04:10:00 +0000

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.

April Fool's Day (1986)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 Apr 2020 04:05:00 +0000

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?!

Vamp (1986) feat. Cecil Baldwin

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 04:05:00 +0000

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!

The Ranger (2018) feat. Annie Rose Malamet

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 04:10:00 +0000

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.

Jason X (2002)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 04:05:00 +0000

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?).

The Blob (1988) feat. Meagan Navarro

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Mar 2020 05:10:00 +0000

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!

Zombeavers (2014)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 05:05:00 +0000

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! If you've never seen it: give it a chance!

Martyrs (2008)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 05:10:00 +0000

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:

Single White Female (1992) feat. Double A Horror Highway

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 05:05:00 +0000

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. Toss this film out the window like a puppy!

Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Feb 2020 05:10:00 +0000

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!

The Boy Next Door (2015) feat. Matt Donato

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 05:05:00 +0000

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.).

All Cheerleaders Die (2013) feat. PRIMO the ALIEN

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 05:05:00 +0000

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!

Hostel: Part II (2007)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 Jan 2020 05:05:00 +0000

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.

Scream 2 (1997)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 8 Jan 2020 05:10:00 +0000

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."

Speed Dating: Round 2 (2020)

Happy New Year, fellow Horror Queers! We are celebrating 2020 with a sequel to our very first episode: Speed Dating! That's right, the topic of discussion this week is....US. No - not the movie, like Joe, Trace and all of you. Oh, and we've got a fancy new opening theme to ring in the new year!

Join us as we go over the results from the listener survey from back in November (it's more exciting than it sounds), including your favorite and least favorite episodes. We also announce the winner of the contest who will pick a film for us to cover in a few weeks!

We'll tell you our favorite and least favorite episodes, the episode we wish got more love and share our first horror movie memory, among other things. Oh, and we've got things to say about that controversial (and somewhat awkward) live episode on A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge.

Plus, we answer some of your questions, which means things are going to get personal (some of you really want to know about our sex lives).

American Horror Story: Asylum (2012) feat. Emily VanDerWerff

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 05:05:00 +0000

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?!

Black Christmas (2006) feat. Alex Wiggins

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 05:01:00 +0000

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? The ladies of Black Christmas? Or the accidental murderesses of 2009's Sorority Row?

Blade: Trinity (2004)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Dec 2019 05:05:00 +0000

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.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) feat. Ari Drew

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 05:01:00 +0000

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.

Jawbreaker (1999)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 05:05:00 +0000

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?

Alien: Covenant (2017) feat. Drew Dietsch

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 05:05:00 +0000

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.

Interview With The Vampire (1994)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Nov 2019 05:05:00 +0000

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).

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) LIVE! feat. Mark Patton, Robert Rusler & Kim Myers

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Fri, 1 Nov 2019 04:00:00 +0000

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.

Phantom of the Paradise (1974) feat. BJ Colangelo

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 04:10:00 +0000

Happy 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! Joining us for this phantasmagorical ride is self-described Phantom nut BJ Colangelo! So grab your plunger and hop on board for this wild and crazy ride.

In what is a first-time watch for Trace, a second-time watch for Joe and a 4,987,523,496,084,237,698th-time watch for BJ, the trio celebrate the cult film's 45th anniversary and all things Beef (Gerrit Graham).

Trace (wrongfully) questions the singing abilities of Jessica Harper, Joe discusses the upcoming documentary Phantom of Winnipeg and BJ connects the film to the 2001 masterpiece Josie and the Pussycats.

House on Haunted Hill (1999)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 04:01:00 +0000

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! 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?

The People Under The Stairs (1991) feat. Carter Smith

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 04:10:00 +0000

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.

The Perfection (2019)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 9 Oct 2019 04:10:00 +0000

In 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.

I Know Who Killed Me (2007) feat. Anthony Hudson

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 2 Oct 2019 04:05:00 +0000

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...

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995) feat. Stephanie Crawford

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Someone 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! WHAT IS THIS MOVIE?

For more information on Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, check out Justin Yandell’s thoughtful analysis of the film on Bloody Disgusting.

Cursed (2005) feat. Tim O'Leary

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 05:00:00 +0000

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.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) feat. Alice Collins

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 05:00:00 +0000

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.

IT: Chapter One (2017) feat. Michael Roffman

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 4 Sep 2019 05:00:00 +0000

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!

The Loved Ones (2009) feat. Dirty Little Horror

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 28 Aug 2019 05:00:00 +0000

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.

Good Manners (2017)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 05:00:00 +0000

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.

This week's Game: What kind of baby monster would you choose to raise and why?

Tragedy Girls (2017) feat. Dani Ryan

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 05:00:00 +0000

After 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.”

Audition (1999)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 7 Aug 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Kiri 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.

ParaNorman (2012) feat. Brenna Clarke Gray

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 05:00:00 +0000

The 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.

This Week's Game: What property would benefit from being turned into a stop-motion film?

Orphan (2009) feat. Sade Sellers

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Joe 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?

In the Flesh (2013) feat. David Opie

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 05:00:00 +0000

The 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!

Scream: Resurrection (2019)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 03:00:00 +0000

SPOILER 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?

Lake Placid (1999) feat. Brian Particelli

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 05:00:00 +0000

For 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!

Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight (1995) feat. Sarah-Tai Black

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Jul 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Hello 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.

This Week's Game: What would a sequel to Demon Knight look like?

Ginger Snaps (2000) feat. Ariel Fisher

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 05:00:00 +0000

It’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.

Seed of Chucky (2004) feat. Chris Eggertsen

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 07:00:00 +0000

In 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.

NOS4A2 (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 16:00:00 +0000

We'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!

Final Destination (2000) feat. Terry Mesnard

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Our 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.

Knife + Heart (2018)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 5 Jun 2019 06:30:00 +0000

Despite 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!

Mild Spoiler Warning

Y'all ready to party in Sue Ann's basement?! 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.

Otto; Or Up With Dead People (2008) feat. Kyle Turner

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 29 May 2019 06:00:00 +0000

There'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. You know you don't wanna miss that!

The Brood (1979)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 22 May 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Joe 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!

Calvaire (2004)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 15 May 2019 06:00:00 +0000

The 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.

Fatal Frame (2014) feat. Jenny Nulf

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 8 May 2019 06:00:00 +0000

The 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.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 7 May 2019 16:00:00 +0000

The first full length Patron exclusive episode of May has arrived and it takes the form of a clad in 70s plaid Zac Efron! That's right, we're talking about the Ted Bundy Netflix property...or rather the three competing narratives that this film tries (and therefore fails) to tell!

There's a little singing, a little dressing down of John Malkovich and the Hollywood Foreign Press and questions about why Efron might actually be a murderer.

The Wicker Man (2006) feat. Cap Blackard

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 1 May 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Not 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!

Cemetery Man (1994)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Joe 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.

The Curse of La Llorona (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 16:00:00 +0000

In 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.

Psycho 2 (1983) feat. Michael Varrati

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 17 Apr 2019 06:00:00 +0000

After 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!

Oculus (2014)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Who 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?

Pet Sematary (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 9 Apr 2019 16:00:00 +0000

In 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?

Stage Fright (2014)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 3 Apr 2019 06:00:00 +0000

The boys have got pipes and they're FIERCE! That's right, this week they're headed to Center Stage: Camp for the Performing Arts to audition for the revival of "The Haunting of the Opera"! We're discussing Jerome Sable's slasher musical comedy Stage Fright! But mostly, we just want to know what went wrong with this film. It's neither funny nor scary, and it doesn't even have any good songs!

How do you have musical numbers, gory kills, (attempted) satire, Meat Loaf and Minnie Driver and still end up with this mess of a film? The Horror Queers aim to find out, all while testing out their own singing abilities, contemplating the utter uselessness of Camilla as a Final Girl and the film's incredibly anti-climactic killer reveal.

Plus, why did Trace decide to drink half a bottle of wine before recording (and the other half during)? We will never know. What we do know is that drunk Trace discussing a film he doesn't like is mean.

Daughters Of Darkness (1971) feat. Ale Gonzalez

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Joe and Trace catch a train to France to spend time in a deserted hotel and drink milky blue liquor, picking up special guest Ale Gonzalez en route. The threesome can't help but gush over Delphine Seyrig's iconic performance as the Countess while gently mocking Blond Cher...er...Valerie (so bland!) and emasculated sissy Stefan.

Ale shares her encyclopedic knowledge about lesbian vampire films, Joe attempts to clarify the end of the film and Trace triumphs in his recognition of Stefan's queer connection.

Plus: this week's game includes THE BEST stunt casting for the remake (that will never be made)!

Us (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:00:00 +0000

In the final March Patreon episode, Joe and Trace discuss Jordan Peele's sophomore effort Us. Is it a better film than Get Out? Does it matter?

Join them as they debate the effectiveness of the comedy in the film, admire Lupita Nyong'o's powerhouse performance and try to decipher just what the rules of The Tethered are (and why the movie doesn't seem to care about sticking to them). Oh, and they compare Peele to M. Night Shyamalan....for some reason?

Ravenous (1999)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Who's hungry...for a little man on man action? Joe and Trace trek to Northern California to stay at a delightful gay resort in the mountains where the soup is hearty and the men have a certain glow about them. That's right, it's the 20th anniversary of Antonia Bird's Ravenous!

The boys dig into yet another problematic production history (what's up with you, 1999-2000?), probe the positive/negative connotations of a queer reading of the film's take on cannibalism and ship the sultry bear trip finale for the film's unrequited lovers. Plus: Trace educates Joe on Grindr culture and shares his ideal preferred cannibal dish.

Cherry Falls (2000) feat. Brennan Klein

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 06:00:00 +0000

It's a regular Hymen Holocaust this week as Joe and Trace detour into Cherry Falls, a place where no virgin is safe and problematic cross-dressing serial killers reside. They pick up special guest Brennan Klein (co-host of Scream 101 podcast and producer of Blumhouse's Attack of the Queerwolf!), who chimes in with his thoughts on all things related to Michael Biehn's "Biehn-pole."

The guys discuss the overt sexual tension between Brittany Murphy and Biehn (they're father and daughter!), foot-sucking fetishes and the use of dildos and model sharks as weapons. Also up for debate: What exactly counts as sex in the climactic teen orgy? We have to know! CLASS DISMISSED!

The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Mar 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Since the boys got a late start to Women in Horror Month, they've decided to continue it into the first week of March! Next up is Katt Shea's under-appreciated and ahead-of-its-time film The Rage: Carrie 2.

Join Joe and Trace as they take a deep dive into the troubled production of this much-maligned sequel. Topics on the table include but are not limited to: the truly despicable teenage characters, an enormous stuffed dog, Amy Irving's completely ineffectual guidance counselor, and Mena Suvari's predilection for projects with the word "American" in the title. And yes, they do address the fact that the remains of the OG Bates High School are still there for some reason.

On a more serious note, they also discuss their experiences with bullying, narrowing them down to what they refer to as their "Carrie Moment."

The Last House on the Left (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 5 Mar 2019 17:00:00 +0000

We return with a brand new Patreon-exclusive episode on Dennis Iliadis' remake of Wes Craven's seminal horror film The Last House on the Left, which is celebrating it's 10-year anniversary. We know, we know. We said we were only going to cover recent theatrically-released films for Patreon episodes, but March is a desert wasteland for new horror films, and Joe simply refused to watch Greta again after not loving it at TIFF.

So here we are! The Last House on the Left. Join us as we both agree that *gasp* the original isn't really that great. If that turns you off, don't worry. We move on to the remake at the 10-minute mark so you can just fast-forward to that part if our opinions get your panties in a wad.

Moving on to the remake, we discuss how hard this movie fucks (Joe's phrase, not Trace's), Joe conflates a fireplace with a vagina somehow, and we try to figure out what possesses Trace to show this movie to unsuspecting friends and family members.

This episode is for patrons only! To download the full episode, head on over to our Patreon page and sign up today!

Always Shine (2016)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 27 Feb 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Join Joe and Trace on their weekend getaway to Big Sur as they try not to murder each other out of fame jealousy! That's right, we're watching Sophia Takal's Always Shine!

This chilling look into a very troubled female friendship between two competing actresses (portrayed by Caitlin FitzGerald and Mackenzie Davis) force the boys to ask some difficult questions: Why are outspoken women automatically deemed "bitchy" and/or "difficult" by our society? What makes a "good woman?" And finally, just what is a Sazerac (hint: it's not called a "Salesrack")?

Lyle (2014) feat. Stacie Ponder

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Just in time for the back half of Women in Horror Month, the guys are joined by the one and only Stacie Ponder (of Final Girl and Gaylords of Darkness Podcast fame) for a threeway discussion of Stewart Thorndike’s Lyle, aka “lesbian Rosemary’s Baby”.

Stacie educates the guys on the film’s connection to lesbian web series F to 7th, Trace gets increasingly defensive about Sleepless in Seattle and Joe rails on Michael Che’s “performance” in the film. The group debates the best way to SPOILER tell your wife you’re planning to kill your second child, the efficacy of Checkov’s Baby Pool Straps and lays to rest that eternal question: do you poop when you give birth?

Plus: with more hosts, comes double the inane games as Joe forces both Stacie and Trace to prove their creative mettle.

Happy Death Day 2U (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000

This clip contains a minor spoiler - don't listen if you're completely averse.

Ready to laugh until you die? On the second patrons-only bonus episode of February, the guys tackle Christopher Landon's 2019 sequel to his Groundhog Day slasher which is...much more of a comedy than a horror film!

Join us as we tackle the highs (Rothe's performance, the increased role of Danielle and a brand new montage), the lows (the lackluster killer reveal, the lab mates) and the WTF (Joe has no time or patience for Dean Bronson).

We also try our hand at a little harmony before brainstorming the poster, title and plot for the potential final entry in the Happy Death Day franchise.

Happy Death Day (2017)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Join Joe and Trace as they relive Happy Death Day, then die.

Join Joe and Trace as they relive Happy Death Day, discuss why Jessica Rothe is so great, then die.

Join Joe and Trace as they relive Happy Death Day, discuss why Jessica Rothe is so great, review “out” director Chris Landon’s career, then die.

Ok, you get the idea. The guys talk about 2017’s fun slasher entry, Joe tries not to laugh over “Baby Face” and Trace uses every opportunity to use Danielle’s acerbic dialogue.

Plus: this week’s inane game cribs from the wonderful Kill By Kill Podcast to investigate which of Tree’s many, many deaths the boys would prefer to go out on.

Dead Ringers (1988)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 6 Feb 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Joe and Trace dress as $10 hookers and enter uncharted vaginal territory with David Cronenberg's gynaecological horror film Dead Ringers! Listen as Joe schools Trace on all things Canadian horror, including a crash course on the Canadian identity (whatever that means). The boys get up to their elbows in discussions of vaginal mutilation, gay panic and that absolutely bonkers surgery sequence featuring period blood-red KKK/nun's habit outfits. And just how the hell do you pronounce cinematographer Peter Suschitzky's name?

Finally, they ask the million dollar question: is there a queer twincestual relationship going on between brothers Beverly and Elliott?

Velvet Buzzsaw (Patreon Clip)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Tue, 5 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Happy February! On the first patrons-only bonus episode of the month, the boys are discussing Dan Gilroy's (Nightcrawler) shockingly mediocre killer art satire Velvet Buzzsaw.

It's a film that tries to do satire and horror and doesn't really succeed at either. Also, why cast Jake Gyllenhaal as a bisexual man but have him paired with a woman for 95% of its NEAR 2-HOUR RUNTIME?!

Swimfan (2002)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Squeeze into your Speedo because Joe and Trace are getting wet with Swimfan, the “baby Fatal Attraction” wannabe starring America’s 2002 boyfriend, Jesse Bradford, and the far-too-good-for-this-nonsense, Erika Christensen. Join us as we try to unpack the film’s many, MANY plot holes, laugh as Joe explains to Trace how pagers work and drink - at your own risk - whenever Trace says “panties”, “vagina” or impersonates poor Ms. Christensen.

Is this the film that breaks the Horror Queers? If laughter and incredulous responses are any indication, then the answer is a resounding Yes.

Jennifer's Body (2009)

tracedthurman@gmail.com (Bloody FM) — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Joe and Trace hit the Carousel for the ‘Low Shoulder’ concert and a lengthy chat about Jennifer’s Body, the horror classic from 2009. The guys break down the misunderstood film’s original reception by the "boy-run" media, its recent (re)appropriation by the horror community, its completely obvious queer intentions, as well as Karyn Kusama’s preferred “Unrated/Extended” cut.

Cross out the hatred because this film ROCKS.

Plus: This week's game requires the guys to create their own fake rock band names.

*Please note: this episode was recorded before Elliot Page transitioned, so there is a mention of his dead name.

Hostel (2005)

Three episodes in and Joe and Trace are already ready for a vacation…in straight white homophobic hell. That’s right, we’re RIPPING into Eli Roth’s notorious 2004 torture porn flick Hostel, drilling down into the Josh/Salad Fingers relationship and questioning if Roth, the film or the characters are homophobic. Mostly the guys just lament how much better Part Two is.

Plus: in this week’s game Joe forces Trace to play “Archive or Trash It” with Roth’s filmography.

Scream (1996)

"Straight" out of the gate, Joe and Trace tackle the biggest horror film franchise of the 90s: Wes Craven's 1996 revisionist slasher Scream. Join the guys as they unpack all of the film's queer elements, including its metatextual references, its strong (read: bitchy) female characters, its "out" queer screenwriter and Billy & Stu's beautiful bro-mance of a love that dare not speak its name.

Also: Joe makes Trace play F/M/K with the film's male cast in the first of our wide-ranging (and mostly inane) podcast games.
