Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (1973) feat. Shelagh Rowan-Legg
It's Giallo time so we, along with film critic Shelagh Rowan-Legg, are headed to Italy for Sergio Martino's Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (1972). C/W: sexual assault, incest, racism, and the cat dies.
Shelagh offers plenty of political and cultural knowledge of women's issues from the period, while Trace refreshes our memory of Edgar Allan Poe's source material, The Black Cat.
Plus: tender queer sex, multiple killers, sheep eyeballs, costume dresses, and a fiery finish

The Mothman Prophecies (2002) feat. Ari Drew
Hide your ChapStick and get off the damn bridge because we're heading into the world of high strangeness with a look at Mark Pellington's 2002 chiller The Mothman Prophecies (2002). Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and Trace's better half) Ari Drew!
Join us as we offer a brief primer on cryptids and why us queers often feel a special connection to them, before going all in on this stealth Christmas horror film. It's a more philosophical episode than usual, but that makes for some fascinating conversations.
Plus: diving into the true story the film is based on, Mothman's cakes (the butt kind), Richard Gere's magical 2002, creepy phone calls from Indrid Cold and one great hidden scare.

Hard Candy (2005)
We're wrapping up our look at Toxic Masculinity with David Slade's feature directorial debut, Hard Candy (2005).
This secret rape/revenge film features powerhouse performances from Elliot Page and Patrick Wilson and plenty of uncomfortable moments.
Plus: comparisons to Promising Young Woman (and Saw X?!), a frank discussion of pedophilia, plenty of strategic framing, and the prequel we want to see.

Customer Reviews
Drew let’s be friends!
I never leave reviews so this is my first because the Mothman Prophecies episode was just awesome! Ari Drew hit the nail on the head, and his take reminds me of why I fell in love with this movie and continue to be fascinated with those eerie topics.
A great conversation with your two gay horror friends
A fantastic examination of horror films through a queer lens mixed with humor and insight of longtime genre fans and critics. The show benefits from their willingness to voice their true feelings and insights instead of relying on what they think their audience would want to hear. It’s hard to maintain steam on any project for years at a time, but Joe and Trace have done it admirably. Start anywhere, but be sure to grab the episodes on lesser known films which is where things often shine.
One of my favorites!
I look forward to every episode. Even if I haven’t seen the movie, I get a lot of out the episode, and the hosts are delightful.
