Night School (1981)

Pull that severed head out of the aquarium and grab a pomegranate to take with you into the shower (seriously) because we're discussing Ken Hughes' Boston-set slasher Night School (1981)! Join us as we go all in on this forgotten film, from its original title of Terror Eyes (get it?) to its notorious status as a video nasty. And on top of everything, it's got a predatory lesbian character to boot! Plus: lauding that "is the head in the pot?" diner sequence, wondering why no one gets killed at the titular school, and debating whether or not the killer's M.O. counts as cultural appropriation (spoiler alert: it does).

P2 (2007) feat. Stuart Ross

Take off your heels and prep your taser because we're stuck in a cold parking garage for Christmas with Franck Kalfoun's P2 (2007). Along for the joyride is Stuart Ross from Another Gay Horror Podcast, who's watching the film for the first time! C/W: Sexual harassment Join us as we praise leads Rachel Nichols and (an admittedly typecast) Wes Bentley, as well as a fantastic flooded elevator sequence. Plus: beautiful businesswoman Angela's conditioned response to misogyny, fixing the opening, breaking high rise windows, and "debate" about security guard Karl's death. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Micro Queers: Dust Bunny (2025)

Ride that hippo and stay off the floor because we are talking about Bryan Fuller's feature directorial debut, Dust Bunny (2025). Starring a perfectly cast Sophie Sloan as a young girl who hires a nameless hitman (Mads Mikkelsen) to kill the monster under her bed, this is a throwback to classic gateway horror films from the Amblin era. Plus: Sigourney Weaver (and her gun heels), praise for balancing so many genres/tones, homages aplenty, and a new reason to get excited about The Vampire Lestat (hint: it's Sheila Atim). Questions?

Jumanji (1995)

Grab those dice, Sonny Jim! Roll with the punches and and pray they read 5 or 8 because we're talking Joe Johnston's original gateway horror creature feature Jumanji (1995) for its 30th anniversary, or as it could also be called: 'Daddy Issues: The Movie'. Join us as we go all in on the film that made Trace a fan of creature features to begin with. From its dark tone (especially when compared to the newer Jumanji films) to its scary imagery (will anything be more terrifying that watching little Alan Parrish get sucked into the game?), they just don't make kids' movies like this anymore! Plus, animatronics vs. CGI, the "cruel torture" subjected to actor Bradley Pierce during the production, our many, many issues with the ending, and why the film needs more Bebe Neuwirth. CORRECTIONS: Trace makes 2 errors in this episode: Christopher Daniel Barnes (Greg in the Brady Bunch movies), voices Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, not Aladdin in Aladdin.Laura Bell Bundy did not win "Legally Blonde: The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods". She originated the role of Elle Woods in the original Broadway production, with Bailey Hanks winning the reality show and replacing her. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Chronicle (2012)

Touch that alien rock and film yourself doing *everything* because we are talking about Josh Trank's superhero (villain?) film, Chronicle (2012). This found footage film features strong performances by Dane DeHaan and a charismatic Michael B. Jordan, as well as a clever explanation for the usual "why/how are they filming everything" issue. Plus: shitty teen boys, aborted sequels, and Trace's worst performance on a game to date! Questions? Comments? Snark?

An amazing pod for all lovers of queer horror

2021-05-11

Lillskank

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.

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.
