Horror Queers

Explicit Content Warning - Don't let Trace's mom listen to this! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Ring (2002), we're checking out Wash Westmoreland's gay porn parody, The Hole (2003), starring Tag Eriksson, Josh Hammer, Jason Adonis, Derec Lang, Adam Killian,T.J. Hart and Trent Atkins as Gangbang Boy. Join us as we break down this 1 hour 50 minute (!) narrative, which features a future Bravo reality TV star, an Anthony Starr from The Boys lookalike, a "cum!" chanting bukkake scene and gently homophobic and/or hilariously satirical take-downs of gay culture and stereotypes. Plus: the soft core version and why the bisexual fantasy scene works best for us! References: Jeffrey Escoffier. Scripting the sex: Fantasy, narrative, and sexual scripts in pornographic films.

We're in disagreement about the second episode of S02: Trace likes how quickly things are advancing, while Joe is frustrating by the lack of Devon & Jake content. All of the "Jennifer Tilly" & Nika stuff, though? Comedy gold! And what to make of Nadine and the arrival of Glen/Glenda? Questions? Comments? Snark?

Check under the bed for ice picks because we're tackling Paul Verhoeven and Joe Eszterhas' notorious 1992 Erotic Thriller/neo-noir, Basic Instinct. Along for trips to the gay bar and the beach house are Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson from The Queer Quadrant podcast, who provide a very welcome bisexual perspective in a film accused of biphobia and misogyny. Plus: our obsession with the sequel Risk Addiction, ties to The Silence of the Lambs and Cruising, cocaine and cum, Catherine (and Sharon Stone) as a queer icon, a stacked cast of male character actors, and why you can't wear a sweater to the gay bar!

Sorry, Jack...Chucky's back! With the second season of Chucky premiering on SyFy next week, we thought we'd take a look back at the franchise that spawned the successful television series. And who better to walk us through memory lane than the creator of the franchise himself: Don Mancini! Join us as we do a deep dive into the franchise with Mancini (specifically the entries from Bride of Chucky and onward), covering all manner of topics like, oh, we don't know, turning one of the biggest horror franchises into a super queer empowerment story? We discuss things like "too much Jennifer Tilly" (what?!), the return of Glen/Glenda (and why they've been absent from the franchise for almost 20 years), retcons, Britney Spears, Katherine Heigl and how Hannibal paved the way for the Chucky series. Not watching Chucky? Chucky says "move your ass" and hop to it! Questions? Comments? Snark?
