Elephant (2003) - Horror Queers

Elephant (2003)

Released on 05/17/2023

Just in time for its 20th Cannes anniversary, we're talking about gay director Gus Van Sant's Elephant (2003) which takes a fictional docuseries approach to the Columbine massacre. C/W for anyone involved in a (school) shooting. Expect a lot of talk about the film's technical elements: the long takes, the dispassionate violence, the use of non-professional actors in a real school, and the lack of a conventional beginning/middle/end. Plus: nuanced queer inclusion, debate about Gus Van Sant's "message", praise for Ebert's review, and Trace's thoughts on Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine. References: > Roger Ebert.

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962) feat. Tyrone Williams - Horror Queers

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962) feat. Tyrone Williams

Released on 05/10/2023

Chop up those rats and tomatoes and practice your vaudeville act because we're joined by guest Tyrone Williams to discuss Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962). Obviously the "feud" looms large over this film, so Trace has done a mega deep dive into the careers of both Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, this production and what followed. Plus: overusing the word "cloche", Oscar talk, a neat vs on the rocks hard liquor tangent, accusations of familiarity, a queer reading of Edwin, and debate about whether Blanche lives or dies.

Night of the Creeps (1986) feat. Patrick Walsh

Released on 05/03/2023

Cindy! Brad's here! And don't let him fondle your breasts because the slugs are invading, which means we're discussing Fred Dekker's delightfully sweet sci-fi comedy horror film Night of the Creeps (1986)! Joining us for the conversation is Patrick Walsh, the host of the ScreamQueenz podcast! Join us as we discuss the film's botched release before we go all in on a queer reading of JC (Steve Marshall) as the film's "gay best friend." Plus: disabled representation, two different endings, one very resourceful slug-infested dog and why "purée" is the gayest button on the blender. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Prometheus (2012) feat. My Bloody Judy - Horror Queers

Prometheus (2012) feat. My Bloody Judy

Released on 04/26/2023

We're celebrating Alien Day with Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, Prometheus (2012), a film that sparks plenty of debate with guests Ian Carlos and Zach Patton-Garcia of My Bloody Judy. This is a beautiful, divisive film, filled with heady philosophical questions about life and religion, and also scientists who take off their helmets on alien planets and can't run left or right. Plus: Charlize Theron hate from Zach, mouth rape, Honest Trailer reactions, gays who can't do math, why Vickers deserved to live, and lots of talk about (former episode) Alien: Covenant and the two Alien vs Predator films.

Ganja & Hess (1973) feat. Brother Ghoulish

Released on 04/19/2023

Grab your body glitter and avoid the shadow of the cross because we're talking Bill Gunn's Ganja & Hess (1973) for its 50th anniversary! Along for the ride is Brother Ghoulish himself, Ryan Kinney, who brings keen insight into the intersection between colonialism, vampirism and religion. Plus: celebrating Marlene Clark's iconic performance, the film's visualization of black bodies, debating the villainy of the titular characters, Gunn's status as a black gay filmmaker in the 70s, and Trace's disgust over brushing your teeth in the bath.
