Horror Queers

After plenty of requests for coverage, we're finally caught up on AMC's Interview with the Vampire S01. Spoiler alert: we both strongly recommend this.

Qualms about Sam Reid's accent aside, this show has everything: hot sex, unabashed queerness, race and class critiques, and Bailey Bass is as Claudia.

Plus: thirsting after Jacob Anderson, vibing with Eric Bogosian's interviewer, and anticipating Ben Daniels in S02

We're back in Hitchcock territory talking about queer villains again with 1951's Strangers on a Train.

In addition to queer author Patricia Highsmith's source material, we've got lead actor Farley Granger (Rope), obsessive stalking, "I like you" and shirt buttoning, plus climactic fucking on the carousel.

Plus: a tense tennis match, a reflective murder, slutty Miriam, frequent subversions, surprising comedy, and MVP Pat Hitchcock as Babs!

Break out your flute because we're talking about queer director Erlingur Thoroddsen's latest film, The Piper!

We like this fine. The story is a bit too familiar, but the technical elements make up for that.

Plus: Julian Sands' last role, a gnarly kill scene, and wishing the Harbinger had more to do.

Round up your free "miners" because we're discussing Raja Gosnell's live-action cartoon and Razzie "winner" Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004). Tagging back in for the conversation is returning guest (see our episode on the original Scooby-Doo film) Cory McCullough, aka Gory Cory!

Join us as we celebrate all things Scooby-Doo with a deep dive into the film's plethora of monsters (including some that didn't make it into the final cut!), ponder what could have been in the cancelled Scotland-set third film, and debate whether or not this is actually a stealth prequel to the first film.

Plus, Velma's lesbian erasure, Seth Green's affinity for dating queer women, a controversial pay cut from Freddie Prinze Jr., a potential transphobic read and many, many more fart jokes.

Strip naked and knock over a baby carriage because we're gleefully covering the Universal Monster with the biggest ego and the largest body count: James Whale's The Invisible Man (1933).

Hear about all of the adaptation problems with H.G. Wells' source material! Gasp at the way the FX were accomplished! Groan whenever Flora is onscreen doing absolutely nothing!

Plus: MVP Una O'Connor, Kemp's tragic/hilarious death, and a "dick out" queer reading
