Ariel Would Never We’re finally into September after a wild and diverse August filled with professional women, queer Chosen Families, owl-headed slashers, horny lighthouse keepers, and highly controversial homoerotic underground monsters (which begs the reminder: listen to the podcast instead of just commenting on the post). Trace and I, along with special guest Jessica Scott, […]

Profound Fart Work August has been a whirlwind month of far-ranging films! Trace and I started with our first John Carpenter in the made-for-TV film Someone’s Watching Me!, then moved on to Clive Barker’s ambitious Nightbreed before jetting across the world to tackle Michele Soavi’s Giallo/Slasher film Stage Fright. Now we’re back Stateside with Robert […]

Hoot Hoot, Bitch. After discussing the positive queer representation in John Carpenter’s Someone’s Watching Me! and the queer safe space of Midian at the center of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed, we’re heading over to Italy to wax poetic over Michele Soavi‘s 1987 giallo-cum-slasher Stage Fright! In the film, a narcissistic director (David Brandon) locks a group of stage […]

<slurping noise> It’s been a wild ride on the podcast this month as Trace and I make our way through a number of camp classics.

The Answer is NURSE. Last week Trace and I kicked off our Summer of Camp marathon with the satirical romp Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), a film so hilariously offensive that it could never be made today. This week, our second film begs the question: what were they thinking when they made this?! Doug Aarniokoski‘s Nurse 3D […]

Sinister Succubus. After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we did what might be our hardest pivot yet with last week’s episode on the 2002 live-action adaptation Scooby-Doo.
