Hide your ChapStick and get off the damn bridge because we're heading into the world of high strangeness with a look at Mark Pellington's 2002 chiller The Mothman Prophecies (2002). Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and Trace's better half) Ari Drew!
Join us as we offer a brief primer on cryptids and why us queers often feel a special connection to them, before going all in on this stealth Christmas horror film. It's a more philosophical episode than usual, but that makes for some fascinating conversations.
Plus: diving into the true story the film is based on, Mothman's cakes (the butt kind), Richard Gere's magical 2002, creepy phone calls from Indrid Cold and one great hidden scare.
