Horror Queers

Check your ankle monitor, grab your cheese grater and prepare for lockdown because we're heading to New Zealand to discuss Gerard Johnstone's hilarious comedy horror film Housebound (2014)!

Join us as we discuss Johnstone's background in television before looking at the film through Philip Brophy's not-so-household term "horrality." Then we pretty much just spend the rest of the episode laughing at the endless barrage of hilarious scenes that Housebound throws our way!

Plus: Famous Amos, a lesson on how to navigate Rotten Tomatoes, Trace learns about commonwealths (and Coronation Street!) and Joe's real-life New Zealand horror story involving....an apple?

Don't go into Apartment 5! For 2013's "underseen or underrated" we're joined by Boom Howdy's Adrian Torres to talk about Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem.

There's no shortage of things to discuss, including Zombie's divisive reception by horror fans and accusations of nepotism for casting wife Sheri Moon in his projects (we like her, so back off!).

Plus: questions about who the villain is, praise for the low budget production design, the "cunty" three witches, Joe fangirls over Meg Foster and Ken Foree, Trace's grim reading of Heidi's fate and debates about just how blasphemous this text is.

Also: 1, 2, 3, 4, Mambo #5

Surprise, Sidney! We've got the iconic Kevin Williamson on the line and we're asking him all the questions you've been dying to ask him over the years about the beloved Scream franchise, including but not limited to:

• What exactly happened with those script leaks during the production of Scream 2?
• How did he feel when he first saw Scream 3 (and when did he first see Scream 3?)?
• Which part of his Scream 4 script is he most bummed didn't make it into the final cut?
• Is Robbie really gay?
• And just what were his plans for Scream 5 and Scream 6 had Scream 4 been successful?

We've got the answers to these questions and more, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the screams!

Explicit Content Warning - Don't let Trace's mom listen to this!

To celebrate the arrival of Scream (2022), we're checking out Bromo's gay porn parody, Cream For Me (2016), starring Tom Faulk, Tobias, Vadim Black, James Parfitt and Brad Banks as Ghostface.

Following an overview of our experiences with porn, we break down this four part series scene by (lazy) scene. It's all up for discussion: cheap production values, power bottoms vs slow fucking, 4K buttholes, straw taints, and incest & rape fantasy. We're not trying to yuck anyone's yum, but we demand better! Thankfully Joe has some (future?) recommendations.

Grab your black leather apron and your surgical tools because we're visiting the offices of Dr. Mary Mason in the Soska Sisters' 2012 rape-revenge film American Mary. Joining us for the discussion is Becky Sayers, co-host of the Paper Street Podcast.

Join us as we discuss the film's influences before picking apart the mixed messaging of the film (feminist themes, destigmatization of the body modification community) and having another candid discussion about rape in cinema.

Plus, more Lizzie McGuire, Dr. Alan Grant (no, not that one), controversial off-screen antics, fancy doctor barn lofts and plenty of uh...flesh squelches.

Ready for seconds? In Part 2 of our super sized discussion on Scream 4, we are going through the iconic film beat by beat and deleted scene by deleted scene.

Expect plenty of praise for the women: Marley Shelton, Alison Brie, Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell, Hayden Panettiere and, of course, Emma Roberts, who absolutely steals the show as Jill Roberts.

Plus: our reactions to the increased gore, Joe's continued disdain for Britt Robertson, Trace's fave Ghostface & Jill line readings, debates about Robbie's queerness and why this film is the gift that just keeps giving.

This is not f*cking Trevor, but it is a new year and that means we're covering another Scream film! To kick off our fourth year(!!!), we're finally (finally!) covering Wes Craven's Scream 4 (2011) in a discussion that proved so big we had to split it in two!

Join us as we travel back to Woodsboro to discuss the troubled production (Weinstein woes, rewrites, reshoots, etc.) before Trace's better half Ari Drew pops in to discuss the ins & outs of one of the screenplay's early drafts.

Plus: we rake some of Scream 4's harshest critics across the coals, review some of those last-minute casting changes and discuss the reappraisal that the film has seen over the past few years. Tune in for Part 2 tomorrow!
