"Everything's a movie to me..."
Kick off your Pride Month festivities with this deep dive into the movie that was meta before meta was cool, the moviehouse movie-within-a-movie massacre motion picture POPCORN from 1991.
Tucked inside all the Grand Guignol fun, we'll be putting a special focus on the closeted life and tragic death of the film's star, TOM VILLARD.
Joining me are world-famous actor and host of the HOT DATE podcast DAN DOMINGUES and future PsychoBiddy PETER ADAMSON.
A group of film students falls prey to a fiendish face-stealing killer who is turning old school movie gimmicks against them with deadly results.
POPCORN was directed by MARK HERRIER and stars JILL SCHOELIN, DEE WALLACE, TOM VILLARD, KELLY JO MINTER, TONY ROBERTS and RAY WALSTON.

"I'm Your Girlfriend Now..." - BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER with MATT KNIFE & CUBBY HALL
Our PRIDE MONTH celebration continues with a look at the truly unusual, blood-streaked 1981 psychological thriller BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER aka NIGHT WARNING.
Billy, an orphaned teenager, finds himself being dominated by his increasingly unhinged Aunt Sheryl who's hell-bent on keeping him with her...at all costs.
Despite its deceptively simple plot, BBNM is a remarkably layered film featuring a bravura performance from SUSAN TYRELL and enough twisted Greek Tragedy elements to make Oedipus blush.
Given the time the movie was made, most surprising of all is its positive portrayal of gay men standing strong in the face of vicious homophobia, making it a perfect choice to round off PRIDE MONTH.
My special guests for this episode are MATT KNIFE and CUBBY HALL.
Score yourself some fabulous handcrafted soaps created by Matt Knife by visiting BARON VON SOAP on ETSY.
