Horror Queers

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.

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.

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.

Need a refresher on Flesh for Frankenstein? Listen to our episode on it right here!

Pull that literal python out of your pants and get ready for the mime of your life because we're attending the Circo del Gringo to discuss Alejandro Jodorowsky's surrealist masterpiece Santa Sangre!

Join us as we offer up a primer on Jodorowksy before diving into this gorgeous, often touching film. From Fenix's (Axel Jodorowsky) childhoood trauma to his mother Concha's (Blanca Guerra) penchant for psychic arm control, this movie has it all!

Plus: detachable ears, an extravagant elephant funeral, acidic genital maimings, behind-the-scenes testicle-grabbings and lots and lots of chickens.
