Micro Queers: Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022)
We're cracking our knuckles in anticipation of Michelle Garza Cervera's feature debut Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022), which tackles pregnancy and post-partum in ways that are comparable to The Babadook and Hypochondriac.
Featuring a stunning lead performance by newcomer Natalia Solián, Huesera has great foley work, some good jump scares, and lots to say about queerness and motherhood.
Plus: a different kind of fridging scene and an ending that we want to hear from parents about

Tusk (2014) feat. Dede Crimmins
Subscribe to the Not-See Party podcast and be wary of walrus dicks because for week 3 of Weird Sex Month we're talking about Kevin Smith's second foray into horror, 2014's Tusk. Along for the Canadian journey is Dede Crimmins, who has watched this movie *a lot.*
Yes, this is the infamous "Justin Long gets turned into a Walrus" movie and we have plenty of thoughts on his early douchebag performance, Michael Parks' epic monologues, the fetish-y Mr. Tusk skin suit, and...oh right, Johnny Depp's grating (or funny?) supporting performance.
Plus: what the hell is a sex fetish act called The Whistling Walrus?

Possession (1981) feat. Jenn Adams
Put down that carving knife and pull out that tentacle monster because we're heading all the way to divided Berlin to discuss Andrzej Żuławski's loud and proud 1981 masterpiece Possession! Joining us for the conversation is Losers' Club and Psychoanalysis Podcast co-host Jenn Adams!
Join us as we sing all the praises for Isabelle Adjani's mesmerizing performance (if you've seen the subway scene, you know why) before trying to pick apart every single bit of emotion that this film exudes. And it's...a lot.
Plus: hot Sam Neill, deranged rocking, gay detectives, dirty-ass feathers, a queer reading of Heinrich and so, so so many slaps. Are we dealing with Sister Faith or Sister Chance? You tell us!

Micro Queers: L.A. AIDS Jabber (1994)
We're dropping a special bonus review of Visual Vengeance's new Blu of 1994 thriller L.A. AIDS Jabber.
Up for discussion: is this exploitation film sleazy enough and is it good or bad that queer people don't seem to exist?
Plus: low budget filmmaking, changing characters and motivations, Joe's husband's odd personal connection, and how an HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence.
