Creep (2014) feat. Devin Baldwin
Horror Queers
11/17/21 • 109 min
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.

Batman Returns (1992) feat. Alex Hall
Horror Queers
12/15/21 • 132 min
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.

05/18/22 • 120 min
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?

Sleepaway Camp (1983) feat. Ten Backe
Horror Queers
07/27/22 • 109 min
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!

The Lords of Salem (2013) feat. Adrian Torres
Horror Queers
01/19/22 • 123 min
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

Student Bodies (1981)
Horror Queers
08/04/21 • 92 min
5.0
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!

The Ranger (2018) feat. Annie Rose Malamet
Horror Queers
03/18/20 • 96 min
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.
