We're All Going To The World's Fair (2021) feat. Mary Beth McAndrews

Released on 05/04/2022

This week we're covering non-binary trans filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun's screen life film, We're All Going To The World's Fair (2021). Along for the ride is Dread Central's Editor-In-Chief - and found footage expert - Mary Beth McAndrews, who praises World's Fair as a great example of a hybrid screen life film. Using interviews and quotes from Schoenbrun's director statement, Trace adds context to this ominous tale of internet celebrity while Mary Beth shares details of her childhood online, which includes catfishing! Plus: debates about what is real online, predatory behavior vs smart teens, Joe's fascination with Lonely Girl 15, Internet memes and creepy pastas, and our multiple interpretations of the film's ambiguous ending Reference: Orla Smith.

Released on 04/27/2022

Strap in because we're discussing our first Mexican film and boy is it a doozy! We're going to be discussing all the internalized homophobia and tentacle alien monster sexcapades in Amat Escalante's 2016 film The Untamed! Join us as we try to figure out what the tentacle alien monster represents while lauding the film for its realistic (and graphic!) depiction of gay sex and then jump right into adding a new letter to the LGBTQIA acronym (someone alert GLAAD!). Plus: meat-eating as a sign of masculinity, the importance of breaking tradition, questionable police interrogation rooms and a crater of copulating creatures. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) - Horror Queers

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Released on 04/20/2022

We're not bad, we're just drawn that way! And we're headed to Toontown to discuss Robert Zemeckis' looney tune-y cinematic masterpiece (and every child's nightmare fuel) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)! Join us as we worship at the altar of Jessica Rabbit before applying a queer reading to Judge Doom (Don't be a sourpuss! He's a quintessential self-hating queer figure that might fall into the queer killer trope). Plus: our lengthiest production history yet, discussing the film's incredibly dark source material, sexy Patty Cake, and oh my God it's DIIIIIIIIIIIIIP! All this for a freeway? You bet! And we're gonna handle it JUST. LIKE. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS! Reference: Judith Dry “Queer Eye for the Cult Guy: Camp Classic Turned Cult Classics” Vulture Questions? Comments? Snark?

Let The Right One In (2008) feat. Chandler Bullock - Horror Queers

Let The Right One In (2008) feat. Chandler Bullock

Released on 04/13/2022

It's time for another gorgeous vampire film as we finally tackle Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In (2008). Along for the ride is The Beauty of Horror's Chandler Bullock, who connects deeply with the depiction of bullying in the film. Expect all three of us to get very candid! In addition to bullying, we unpack a multiplicity of trans readings for Eli, the eternal 12 year vampire, as well as debate at length whether the end of the film is a tragedy, a love story or both. Plus: Trace's thirst for child blood, Chandler and Trace's take on the stage production, a missed Oscar opportunity and Joe fills in the gaps between the book, the Swedish film and its American remake (for a lot more on that, check out his YA adaptation podcast Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr which did a tie-in episode) References: Vrai Kaiser.

Near Dark (1987) feat. Kyle Adam Foster - Horror Queers

Near Dark (1987) feat. Kyle Adam Foster

Released on 04/06/2022

Black out your car windows because we're driving through the American West with Jesse Hooker's gang in Kathryn Bigelow's seminal vampire Western Near Dark (1987). Joining us for the trip is Kyle Adam Foster! Join us as we dive into all the hoops Bigelow had to jump through just to get this film made (a woman doing "man movies?" Who'da thought?!) before diving into the film's bungled release, which led to its commercial failure and "flop" status. Plus: an in-your-face AIDS allegory, questionable blood transfusions, Bill Paxton worship, an uninteresting central romance, and that awesome bar fight set piece. Near Dark has it all, folks!
