Check the windows in your teleportation pod because we're heading up to Toronto to discuss all the gooey goodness in David Cronenberg's seminal horror remake The Fly! Joining us is Bloody Disgusting's lead critic (and co-host of The Bloody Disgusting Podcast): Meagan Navarro! Join us as we trace the film's journey from page to screen (rewrites, Mel Brooks, tragedy and Total Recall) before discussing the film's possible AIDS allegory and, of course, all the praise for the film's outstanding and Oscar-winning special effects. Plus, respect for the film's handling of abortion (in 1986, no less) normalizing the cock and references to Zenon: The Zequel and Cube 2: Hypercube. Hey, it wouldn't be a Cronenberg discussion if it wasn't weird!

Shut the antique wooden chest and choke your chicken because we're heading to a posh Manhattan penthouse for a classy dinner party in Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 technical marvel (and uber-queer film) Rope! Join us as we kick off the episode discussing Leopold & Loeb, the real-life "perfect murder" case that serves as the inspiration for the film (among many others) before delving into just how queer this movie is. We've got a queer screenwriter and multiple queer actors and some truly bitchy 1940s dialogue. Plus, stigmatizing tops and bottoms (boo!), a murder set piece doubling as a sex scene, a Jason Sudeikis/Hugo Weaving hybrid, a 50 Shades of Grey tangent and, of course, minding our p's and q's.

Happy Halloween/Friday the 13th/Jamie Lee Curtis' birthday, everyone! We're celebrating the occasion(s) with a discussion of the classic(?) 1981 horror parody Student Bodies, a movie that really gets us hot! Paperclips, eggplants and erasers, oh my! Join us as we go through the film's production during the 1981 Writers Guild of America strike before going into a deep dive on the stages of genre evolution. Let's just hope the Breather gets stuck in some gum before he finds us! Plus, mustard facials, Joe's penchant for dick cheese and did Trace even watch the movie! Either way, it's death before disfigurement for us! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Open wide and brace yourself because we are going deep on Adam Egypt Mortimer's Daniel Isn't Real (2019). Joining us for the psychological thrill ride is Scarred For Life's Terry Mesnard, who provides plenty of art history education as we attempt to unpack the film's many readings. Obviously we have to tackle the homoerotic elephant in the room, but there's also plenty to say about the film's complicated relationship with mental illness (sidebar: spoilers for Lights Out). Plus: discussions of consent, deep throating jokes, wanting more Mary Stuart Masterson and which surprising Cronenberg film inspired the sex scenes Questions? Comments? Snark?
