We're talking Alice's ice pick murder, gay actor Tom McBride, skinny dipping, shit panties, a bombastic Manfredini score, Miner's excellent direction, and Ginny's epic last act chase sequence. R...

With a new season of Don Mancini's Chucky, we're back on the recap beat. S03 kicks off with a mostly White House-set episode that introduces President Devon Sawa (and Lara Jean Chorostecki as the First Lady!) with only brief moments with our trio of kids (who are all social media stars now?) It's tough to guess where we're going, but we're anticipating The Omen III , pay-off on the dead sibling st...

Watch your head because we're kicking off spooky season (and our 250th episode!) with a look at Tim Burton's extremely Halloween-y classic Sleepy Hollow (1999)!

We're wrapping up Erotic Thriller month with the gayest text of all: French writer/director Alain Guiraudie's Stranger by the Lake (2013). This is one of Joe's favorite queer horror texts because it covers so many topics: cruising, sex and death, voyeurism, body image, gay microcosms, STIs, toxic relationship, homophobia, and gay friendships. And that's before we tackle the unsimulated sex, discus...

Grab your camera and retreat to a cabin in the woods because we're discussing the feature version of Alexander McGregor Birrell's The Latent Image (2022). This is quite similar to the short of the same name, with a few tweaks and a boyfriend for lead Ben (Joshua Tonks, guest on our BtVS episode "Once More, With Feeling). But while we're big fans of most of the technical elements (direction, acting...

Get ready to play the piano all sexy like because we're discussing Park Chan-wook's English-language debut Stoker , which is based on a screenplay from queer screenwriter (and actor) Wentworth Miller(?!?!). Join us as we discuss the film's journey from a Black List pick to a botched marketing campaign to an even more botched release. This is a shame, because Stoker is a film that oozes so much sty...

Return to camp with Michael A. Simpson's Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988) which finds Angela killing according to Aunt Martha's conservative moral code.
