This episode’s guest is multi-hyphenate musical maven, graphic artist, all-around-funniest man I know and love, the brilliant Karl Kuehn. Karl is the braintrust behind the music of Gay Meat, everyone go listen to his Bed of Every EP wherever you get your music . Karl and I cover the 2014 teen horror stand out, It Follows. The film follows (hahaha) a group of teens trying to outrun a mysterious, sexually-transmitted monster on the prowl. We discuss the gender dynamics of teen horror films, this film’s infamous SHELL phone, and how much Paul sucks. Seriously, we hate Paul. But we love you! And I hope you enjoy this episode of the Horrors of love...
