Be on the lookout for clues because we're headed back to Escape Room with Adam Robitel's sequel, Tournament of Champions (2021). With the help of returning guest Reyna Cervantes, we're discussing both the Theatrical, as well as the Extended Cut of the film (jump ahead to the ~1hr 10min mark to hear about the new beginning and end!) Expect Minos-levels of conspiracy as we try to figure out the timeline and rationale for the two cuts. Plus: our fave new characters and traps, retconning the original film's end, needing more Isabelle Fuhrman and James frain, and what we want in a possible third entry (and why it definitely *won't* be rated R) Questions?

Don't be a miserable, ungrateful bitch because we're discussing James Wan's 2013 film Insidious: Chapter 2 in preparation for Patrick Wilson's upcoming sequel Insidious: The Red Door! Tagging in for the conversation are the hosts of Shudder's most watched series The Boulet Brothers' Dragula: Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet! Join us as we try to figure out why a horror film released in 2013 would repurpose the plot of Sleepaway Camp for a modern audience, while appreciating the camp factor of this fascinatingly wacky sequel. What makes sense? What doesn't? We try really hard to figure it out! Plus: a dub job for the ages, baby stunts, cheating lesbian mamas, true San Francisco realness and some of the best embalming techniques you're likely to find in a horror film. It's gonna be a cisgustingly good time! Questions? Comments? Snark?

We're back with a fresh Micro Queers on Australian trans teen filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay's queer slasher film, Bad Girl Boogey (2022). We would have liked more time with these characters (and maybe a longer runtime overall), as well as a stronger killer reveal, but the film's musicality, its DIY aesthetic, and the fact that Mackay has made an unapologetically queer film is worth celebrating.

Our mothers told us never to do this but we just couldn't resist so we're having an in-depth discussion of Robert Harmon's 1986 classic The Hitcher. Join us as we discuss the gay panic of it all in this queer-coded cautionary tale. From Rutger Hauer's predatory queer to C. Thomas Howell's virginal twink, The Hitcher has it all! Plus: the film's origins as a 190-page(???) script, lots and lots of saliva play, ferryman/fairy man and getting your car all kinds of wet. References: >Grierson, Tim.

Don't wig out, but prepare for a whiter-- *ahem* WIDER audience, because we're discussing Justin Simien's horror comedy Bad Hair (2020)! Weaving her way into this discussion is Fantasia International Film Festival programmer and horror journalist Carolyn Mauricette! Join us as we try to figure out the many, many things this film is trying to do, praising the intent behind most of the creative decisions while lamenting the confused execution. Is it self-aware camp? Is it self-serious horror? Is it wasting Vanessa Williams? ....Yes? Questions? Comments? Snark?
