Joining us to discuss the fashion, the photography, and the hot 70s men is director and returning guest Carter Smith.

We're back with a fresh Micro Queers on Australian trans teen filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay's queer slasher film, Bad Girl Boogey (2022). We would have liked more time with these characters (and maybe a longer runtime overall), as well as a stronger killer reveal, but the film's musicality, its DIY aesthetic, and the fact that Mackay has made an unapologetically queer film is worth celebrating. Ques...

Our mothers told us never to do this but we just couldn't resist so we're having an in-depth discussion of Robert Harmon's 1986 classic The Hitcher .

Micro Queers is back with a spoiler-filled dive into director Kelly Kali's Jagged Mind (2023), the Hulu feature adaptation of screenwriter Allyson Morgan's Bite Sized Halloween short First Date. We're big fans of lead actors Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Shannon Woodward, who are imminently watchable in this time loop relationship thriller, though the narrative is a touch repetitive and we have qu...
