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?

I’ve been following this podcast for a while now. It’s a good listen on the way to work with loads of little production details & anecdotes about the casts & crews. The hosts know what they’re talking about & compliment each other well. Joe provides the knowledge & Trace has a fun upbeat sense of humor. Definitely suggested if you’re a horror fan looking for a light-hearted discussion - queer or otherwise.
