    Interview: Ginger Snaps' Katherine Isabelle, Emily Perkins and John Fawcett

    We sat down to interview Ginger Snaps director John Fawcett and stars Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins in celebration of the film's 25th anniversary and recent 4K release from Lionsgate.  Up for discussion: the enduring appeal of the film, why it speaks to queer audiences, how the sequels came to be, and the possibility of a television show (Ginger Snaps: Bailey Downs anyone?)

  2. Micro Queers: The Retreat (2021)

    Micro Queers: The Retreat (2021)

    In honor of its fifth anniversary, we're chatting Canadian thriller The Retreat (2021), which pits a lesbian couple against homophobes at an isolated cabin in the woods. Screenwriter Alyson Richards and director Pat Mills' survival horror adds a queer element to a familiar premise, which doesn't entirely make the film stand out. Still, it's a good opportunity for Joe to revisit a film he had issues with. Plus: good gore; an untapped backstory for Renee (Tommie-Amber Pirie), and comparisons to other recent queer horror titles.

    The Fan (1981) feat. Michael Varrati

    Stay out of the pool and work on your singing because we're talking Edward Bianchi's The Fan (1981) starring Grand Dame Lauren Bacall and a twinky Michael Biehn. Joining us for the discussion is returning guest Michael Varrati, who dubs the film "parasocial peril" and praises Bacall's emotionally vulnerable performance as aging starlet Sally Ross. Look for adaptation questions about Bob Randall's pulpy source material; critiquing James Garner's autobiography; and highlighting the subway stalking and pool slicing sequences. Plus: the queer coding of Douglas Breen; the film's uneasy place in (horror) history; and trying to figure out the plot of in-movie musical Never Say Never. >Support Michael's queer horror comic, 'Four Seasons of Fear: A Year of Queer Horror' on Kickstarter here >Our Bloody Disgusting editorial: “Stanning” Goes Too Far in ‘The Fan’ Questions?

    The Poseidon Adventure (1972) feat. Stacie Ponder

    Climb that metallic Christmas tree and follow that renegade reverend because we're going to Hell (upside down!) in Irwin Allen's production of Ronald Neame's The Poseidon Adventure (1972)! Tagging in for the conversation is horror blogger and Final Girl After Dark podcast host Stacie Ponder. Join us as we tackle a movie filled with Academy Award winners both in front of and behind the camera. We laud its era-defining (and Oscar-winning) special effects, while sobbing over all things Shelley Winters. No one phones it in in this disasterpiece from Master of Disaster Irwin Allen. Plus: "My Linda!", the shocking adaptation change made to Paul Gallico's 1969 source novel, a semi-positive portrayal of sex work in a '70s film and emphasizing the importance of grieving dead characters in a disaster movie.

    Like Minds (2006)

    Pack your taxidermy kit and catch the night train because we are discussing writer/director Gregory J. Read's Like Minds (2006). The film explores the Gestalt relationship that develops between two boys, Nigel and Alex (Tom Sturridge and Eddie Redmayne - in his feature debut) at a boarding school, as well as a series of murders that forensic psychologist Toni Collette (and her bangs) is investigating in the present. It's a wild ride, filled with way more bizarre shit than expected. Expect plenty of debate about what exactly is going on here! Big thanks to listener Rachel for bringing this odd little Aussie/UK co-production to our attention! Reference: Tony McMahon. "Knights Templar – were they secret Cathars?"
