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, […]

Ass Blasters After a month of divergent picks ranging from John Carpenter’s made-for-TV movie Someone’s Watching Me! to Clive Barker’s sprawling Nightbreed to Michele Soavi’s Italian slasher Stage Fright to Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, Trace and I are ready to wrap up August with an American classic. It’s time for Tremors, y’all! Although the film was […]

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 […]

Judy Judy Judy After five weeks of nothing but Camp films, including pageant mockumentary Drop Dead Gorgeous, 3D monstrosity Nurse, and a pair of shocking and offensive 70s titles from John Waters (Female Trouble) and Paul Morrissey (Flesh for Frankenstein), Trace and I – along with returning guest Ten Backe – have reached our magnum opus: […]

<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. After kicking off the series with beauty pageant mockumentary Drop Dead Gorgeous, we dived into Paz de la Huerta’s trashterpiece Nurse 3D, and covered our first ever John Waters film […]

Suma Trashalogical After getting things started early with our Independence Day episode on Drop Dead Gorgeous, we went full camp last week with modern entry Nurse 3D (2013). This week, Trace and I are traveling back to the 70s for a classic: John Waters‘ 1974 film Female Trouble (It may seem like an unorthodox pick, but […]

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 […]

The Camp Appeal of Genre-Blurring ‘Wild Things’ [Sex Crimes]

The last installment of this column explored legendary director Adrian Lyne’s masterclass entry in the erotic thriller canon: Fatal Attraction. The 1987 film, steeped in Conservative culture, is as much a warning to heterosexual men about female sexuality as it is a confirmation of the need to uphold traditional (read: nuclear) family values. It’s almost […]

Shut Up, Pascal! May continues to be a month of extremes. Trace and I started the month with Jane Schoenbrun’s microbudget creepypasta film We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, followed by our usual Friday the 13th film,  Friday the 13: Jason Lives. Then last week we headed Down Under for notorious kangaroo-killing Ozploitation flick, […]

Meta Jason We’re past the halfway point of May and Trace and I have already watched a number of unusual films and had great conversations! Last week we tackled the most contemporary film we’ve ever discussed on the pod with non-binary filmmaker Jane Schoebrun’s We’re All Going To The World’s Fair (2021) and the week […]

Baby Catfish April is firmly in the rearview, though Trace and I are still basking in the great conversations we had about Mexican sci-fi film The Untamed, 80s live-action/animation technical marvel Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and our pair of vampire films: Swedish teen coming of age ‘Let The Right One In and Western/Horror hybrid Near Dark.

Kill Your Bullies We’ve been bouncing around the decades ever since we wrapped up our ‘Underseen or Underrated’ theme, with stops in 1960 London for Peeping Tom, 2010’s boobies and blood Piranha 3D and 1987’s Near Dark last week. Our unofficial vampire double bill continues this week with Swedish adaptation Let the Right One In, which brings us back […]

Not Your Grindr’s Voyeurism We spent the better part of 2.5 months exploring an “underseen or underrated?” theme, including Gaspar Noé’s Climax and Kurtis David Harder‘s Spiral before wrapping up with Michael J. Ahern, Brandon Perras and Christopher Dalpe‘s independent film Death Drop Gorgeous last week. Now that we’re free of the 2010s, Trace and I are jumping back to 1960 […]

Dick in 5 Minutes. We’ve reached the end of the road on our “underseen or underrated?” theme. For the last three months we’ve been discussing films of the 2010s using that barometer and after a month that included Darren Aronofsky‘s mother!, Sam Levinson’s Assassination Nation, Gaspar Noé’s Climax and Kurtis David Harder‘s Spiral, we’re finally up […]

Trace and I are closing in on the end of our “underrated or underseen” theme. After spending February looking at films from 2016 – 2018, including Aussie coming-of-age film Boys in the Trees, Darren Aronofsky’s allegory-heavy mother! and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson’s controversial Assassination Nation, we’re now up to 2019.
