Creep 2 (2017) feat. Brooke Solomon

Log onto 'Encounters' and dust off your Peachfuzz mask because we're talking Creep 2 (2017). Along for the ride is The Queer Quadrant co-host Brooke Solomon, who finds plenty to appreciate in a sequel that is more complex than its predecessor. Plus: Praise for both Duplass and bisexual co-star Desiree Akhavan, debating male vs female nudity, dismissing claims that Sara is "dumb", Coppola wine, and speculation about Shudder's The Creep Tapes Questions?

The Thirteenth Guest (1932) feat. Amanda Jane Stern

Prepare to get "potted" because we're discussing not just any murder, but a good murder in Albert Ray's confusing as all get-out 1932 murder mystery comedy The Thirteenth Guest! Tagging in for the conversation is Amanda Jane Stern, the co-writer/star of the new psychosexual thriller Perfectly Good Moment. Join us as we try to figure out just what the hell is going on in this convoluted little film, which features an early Ginger Rogers performance (in a dual role, no less!). From electrified telephones to mysterious rooms without trap doors, there's just too much crammed into this film's extremely brief 69-minute runtime for it to make any kind of sense. Plus: an absolutely horrifying colorized version of the film, a brother and his "roommate," and souls that look like the inside of vinegar bottles. Oh, and who in the hell is the titular thirteenth guest??? Questions? Comments? Snark?

This is now amongst my favourite podcasts. As a horror fan, I look forward to new episodes dropping and listening to what Joe and Trace have to say about some of my favourite films ever. Great insight and well researched, as well as being genuinely funny, this show is lots of fun.
Brilliant.

Very well researched and structured podcast with refreshing viewpoints and excellent guests too! The boys start with production history and move to describing the plot with inbuilt commentary. The detailed approach means you can listen and enjoy without having seen the films, and still appreciate the commentary, analysis and jokes. Have faithfully listened since the beginning and I look forward to this podcast every week.

I’m a podcast virgin. And what a way to pop my cherry! These guys are funny, insightful, thoughtful, and just a joy to listen to. Thank you for all the references and thank you for being so delightfully queer. I started off with their review of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, so thank you guys for this discussion and for laying respect on the name of Queen Nurse Octavia Daniels-Spencer. Subscribed!
