The Lost Boys (1987) feat. Marisa Mirabal
Grab your leather jackets and shape up your mullet because we're celebrating our 150th episode with a seminal queer vampire text in Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys (1987)! Joining us for the discussion is Marisa Mirabal, a co-host of the Black Magic Coven podcast!
After taking a look at the historical context of the film's release (height of the Reagan era, AIDS crisis, the Moral Majority), we'll go all-in on this time capsule of the '80s, which originated as a sort of "Goonies Go Vampire" before Schumacher stepped in and sexified everything up.
Plus, "Cry Little Sister" (a lot), vampirism as a metaphor for oral sex, Kiefer Sutherland's "dance bars," a late-in-the-episode discussion of the film's two sequels and an anecdote about how The Lost Boys tricked Trace into reading Mormon propaganda.

Clue (1985) feat. Good Mourning, Nancy
The Comedy Queers are in the house! We're joined by Abbey and Gracie of Good Mourning, Nancy to unpack the hilarity of Jonathan Lynn's adaptation of Clue (1985) aka one of the best comedies ever made.
We discuss our relationship to the game, Trace goes long on the complicated production history, Abbey equates Miss Scarlet with a particular vegetable, and we each take a go at Madeline Kahn's famous improvised line.
Plus: a debate about who is the best actor/character, Clue as a "gateway" film for both mystery and comedy, Joe provides historical context for the Red & Lavender Scares and we unpack our complicated feelings about Mr. Green (Michael McKean)'s changing sexual orientation. Oh, and laughs. LOTS of laughs.
