Sunshine (2007) - Horror Queers

Sunshine (2007)

Released on 06/05/2024

Check the payload and stay on mission because we're flying into the sun with Alex Garland and Danny Boyle's Sunshine (2007). 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. Reference: Quentin Hoffman. "Why ‘Sunshine’ is a Misunderstood Masterpiece." Medium Questions? Comments? Snark?

Blue My Mind (2017) feat. The More Deadly Podcast - Horror Queers

Blue My Mind (2017) feat. The More Deadly Podcast

Released on 05/29/2024

Swallow that fish and peel the skin off your legs because we're discussing Lisa Brühlmann's aquatic coming-of-age film Blue My Mind (2017)! Tagging in for the conversation are Rachel and Ariel of The More Deadly Podcast! 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. Questions? Comments?

A Simple Favor (2018) feat. Emily Gagne - Horror Queers

A Simple Favor (2018) feat. Emily Gagne

Released on 09/13/2023

Raid the closet for tear-away suits and make a "real" martini because we're talking about Paul Feig's suburban noir, A Simple Favor (2018). 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 - Horror Queers

Dressed to Kill (1980) feat. Elizabeth Purchell

Released on 09/06/2023

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) - Horror Queers

Stoker (2013)

Released on 08/30/2023

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. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988) - Horror Queers

Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988)

Released on 08/23/2023

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. Reference: > Cervantes, Reyna. "Finding Your Identity at Sleepaway Camp."
