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?

An amazing pod for all lovers of queer horror

2021-05-11

This is an amazing pod. Been listening since the first year and been hooked since. The strength of the pod is the humor and depth. In many ways because of the horror genre itself that always balance the two.
The perfect horror movie podcast!

I feel like this podcast was made for me, and I’m pretty sure many others will feel the same way if they give it a listen. Each episode they discuss, review and analyze a horror movie. It’s everything from old classics to b-movies to brand new ones. And they always keep a good balance when they talk. It’s funny, but the humor is never distracting. It’s informative and enlightening but never to dry or heavy (like many other horror movie podcasts can be). They’re truly passionate about horror movies but never assume the listener knows everything they know. It quickly became my favorite podcast after I gave it a try. I also have to add that the sound is top-notch quality, even from the beginning.
En av de bättre

Det här är en av de mest intressanta av alla skräckpoddar jag följer. Det finns så många och tills slut låter alla likadana. De granskar skräckfilmer från en queer perspektiv och så många gånger har de exakt samma åsikt som jag har trott att jag varit ensam om. Ett plus är att det är seriöst fast inte alls lika tungt som Faculty of Horror. Annat bra är det pratas både mainstream, indie och b-filmer, gammalt och nytt, vilket jag uppskattar. Så länge det är intressant är det värt att diskuteras. Kristallklart ljud är inte heller så dumt, hur många har jag slutat lyssna på en podd när det låter som en såg rakt i öronen på mig.
