Oh crap oh crap oh crap! The swan ate our baby and the most smartest tapper needs to go to state! That's right, we're discussing Michael Patrick Jann's seminal dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) with IGN's streaming editor Amelia Emberwing. Think we can do it? Amer-I-CAN! Join us as we track the film’s journey from a script called Dairy Queens to a box office and commercial failure to a stone-cold cult classic beloved by (and offensive to) many. We’re laughing at eating disorders, mental disability and pedophilia. How did this get made? Plus: non-stop praise for this outstanding cast, discussing the on-set tensions between the writer and the director, debating the effectiveness (or lack thereof?) of the third act, and an It Takes Two tangent? Ding! Fries are up! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Surprise! We're opening the Patreon vault to deliver an episode on a film with one of the most infamously troubled production histories of all time. That's right! After years (literally years) of waiting, we are discussing Josh Boone's adaptation of The New Mutants and it's.....fine? After spending a good amount of this episodes runtime going through the film's laborious production history and discussing the racist accusations lobbied against the film, we educate ourselves on the source material before doing a deep dive into the film itself. We've got a front-and-center queer romance, lots of garbage CGI, teenage trauma porn, mostly solid accent work and a blessed 86-minute runtime. Does it all work? Absolutely not. But it's not as bad as it could have been, so we guess that's something? Questions? Comments? Snark?

In this special bonus minisode celebrating the film's 20th anniversary, we discuss 2002's Dahmer, starring a pre-fame Jeremy Renner. The film - and Renner - is quite good and would make a good double bill with My Friend Dahmer (another film we'd recommend). Questions? Comments? Snark?

This month on Micro Queers, we're working the late shift at the fast food joint with David Jancove's I Love Your Guts (2021). We're talking great female friendships, violence vs gore, comparisons to Buffy's 'Doublemeat Palace' episode, and why we don't want to see a feature version of this short. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Warm up Fistina and Palmette because we're heading to NYC circa 1990 to discuss the sinister succubus at the center of James Bond III's Troma classic Def By Temptation! Joining us for the conversation is DBT superfan (and Bloody Disgusting Podcast co-host) Zena Dixon! Join us as we give a bit of a Troma primer (it's our first Troma film!) before jumping into the film's treatment of its queer character, as well as a discussion of the dreaded AIDS Mary urban legend. Oh, and all the praise for Kadeem Hardison's K. Plus, debating Joel's effectiveness as a protagonist, Samuel L. Jackson(!), stockings vs. tights and the ultimate question: would you jump in them drawers?

We hope you've got the scrote for this job because we're heading to Spooky Island to solve the mystery of the zombified co-eds in Raja Gosnell's 2002 live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo! Joining us for the conversation is noted Scooby-head Cory McCullough! Join us as we trace the film's journey from a PG-13 (or R-rated???) Brady Bunch Movie-style parody of the classic Scooby-Doo cartoons to a compromised but joyous, family-friendly(???) celebration of all things Mystery, Inc. We wouldn't expect anything else from screenwriter (and Troma alum) James Gunn, would we? Plus, on top of a feminist Daphne, a stoner Shaggy and a queer Velma & Fred, we've got Pamela Anderson(???), "horrific" CGI, body (and gender)-swapping shenanigans, plenty o' farts and the ultimate debate on Scrappy Cornelius Doo. Oh, and who can forget that absolute banger of a soundtrack? Questions? Comments? Snark?
