Try to keep up with all the plot twists and turns because we're discussing Pedro Almodóvar's genre-defying 2011 thriller The Skin I Live In. Heed all of the content warnings on this one, folks! Join us as we discuss our relationship with Almodóvar before parsing through this complex film with a look at the accusations of misogyny, transphobia and transmisogyny that have been lobbied against it. It's an admittedly heavy conversation about a very challenging film (and we'd expect nothing less from Almodóvar). Plus: unethical super skin, an actual Chekhov's Gun, book-to-film comparisons, gray moral areas and a rare instance in which we wish the film were longer! Reference: Thomas, Ande.

Keep those stupendous fake tits out of the field of pot because we're talking Platinum Dunes' 2009 remake, Friday the 13th. Joining us to tackle perfect nipple placement, underwhelming kills, and all things Willa Ford is filmmaker Amir Moini. Up for discussion: is the remake really that bad? Are the tunnels a dealbreaker? Is *anyone* surprised that Whitney survives and Jenna dies? Plus: praise for Aaron Yoo, the ~24 minute opener, blood and nudity in the "Final Cut," and a third swinging light death sequence!

We apologize for the intelligence of our remarks, but we're delving into every gay man's worst nightmare (aging) in Albert Lewin's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Tagging in for the conversation is writer and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern, who turns out to be an enormous fan of the source material! Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's only novel, but not before discussing the tragedy that is Wilde's life. We then discuss Hollywood's "straightening" of this very queer story, and bask in the glory of what is Angela Lansbury's third film role. Plus, one very cruel Slut Test™, four stellar Technicolor shots (seriously), a presumably enormous confetti budget, Egyptian cat magic, one extremely unnecessary narrator and an even more unnecessary Gladys.

It's time to revisit H.P. Lovecraft with a dip into horror comedy/exploitation territory and Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator (1985). C/W: sexual assault and the cat dies (again and again) We're praising Jeffrey Combs' perfect performance, the tricky tonal balance (including the Dr. Hill/Megan assault), and the gory practical FX in this mad doctor film. Plus: a queer reading of Herbert and Dan, multiple editions, naked fight scenes, and why the film deserves to be seen with a crowd.
