The Witch (2015) feat. Becky Darke

Bring your baby-sized mortar and pestle and cherished silver cup to the party because we're discussing Robert Eggers' feature directorial debut: the audacious folk horror film The Witch (2015)! Joining us for the conversation is Hammer Time podcast co-host Becky Darke! Join us as we marvel at all of the research Eggers did to ensure maximum authenticity, crafting a period film thats as scary as it is stomach-churning. That it all ends in a (somewhat debatable) "good for her" ending is just the icing on the cake. Plus: big witchy tits, inky darkness courtesy of all the natural lighting, being "allergic to exposition," and a ringing endorsement from the Satanic Temple. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Doppelganger (1993)

Cue the green & red lighting and the KNB effects because we are talking about the absolutely *wild* 1993 film, Doppelganger. Starring 17 year old emancipated minor Drew Barrymore, writer/director Avi Nesher's curious oddity is "DePalma meets Argento in the guise of a Lifetime film". Filled with gay extras and capital-A acting from the supporting cast, Doppelganger is one bizarre creative decision after another from beginning to (absolutely gonzo) end. Go in cold if you can! Plus: underage nudity; Drew's troubled relationship with mother Jaid; gay Breakfast at Tiffany's; ties to 1991's Popcorn; and Leslie Hope's rapid-fire screwball comedy dialogue. Questions? Comments?

Sphere (1998)

Watch out for those jellyfish and be nice to Jerry the alien, because we're talking Barry Levinson's misguided 1998 adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Sphere! Join us as we try to figure out just what went wrong with this thing. From the lackluster direction to the hectic editing to the uneven performances (Sharon Stone innocent), it's hard to find one single reason for Sphere's badness. Hell, we can't even determine when we turn on the film, as the first chunk of it is pretty damn engaging! Plus: criticisms of the film's overuse of title cards (seriously, why?!), comparisons to Annihilation, and wondering why we never see the giant squid. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Micro Queers: Tamara (2005)

For its 20th anniversary, we're revisiting screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick (Final Destination)'s succubus film, Tamara (2005/2006). This one is...perplexing. The script fails to establish how the characters know each other, it punishes them unfairly and in a bizarre order, and the ending is baffling. But it's so trope-y, it's an easy watch, star Jenna Dewan is having a blast, and there's a mean streak that we appreciate. Plus: peak 2005 fashion; all things Canadian; and a gay rape scene that we don't entirely know how to discuss! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Popcorn (1991)

Come on down to the Dreamland Theater because we're turning a trio of turkeys into a memorable moviegoing feast with director Mark Herrier's 1991 slasher Popcorn. Starring a bunch of horror royalty and featuring three movies-within-a-movie, this cult title is a fun slice of entertainment with some great mask FX! Plus: queer actor Tom Villard, a himbo with head injuries, remake potential, and debate about whether the film is meta or not. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Really fun commentary on some great and not so great films, but always find myself laughing out loud with these two wonderful guys. Keep up the great work!
Always entertaining and informative

Docteure Drey

This is how I like my podcasts: always entertaining and well-researched, with good chemistry between the hosts and with their guests. There's a warm and easy dynamic between Joe and Trace that makes you feel welcome, and helps navigate some of the more difficult movies and themes they sometimes discuss. I really appreciate how varied their programmation is! From light movies (Freaky, Student Bodies...) to darker ones (Calvaire, Deadgirl...), and even the occasional TV shows (the Chucky TV series, the Hannibal TV series), there's something for everyone, and you always learn something - be it on the movie/show production, its reception, or how it relates to queerness and queer themes. You can sense that Joe and Trace work hard on this podcast, and it shows. 5 stars no notes!
Great time!
