Queer Projection

Alethia St. Joan and Daniel Carroll

This is a movie podcast about finding queer themes damn near everywhere. Hosts Alethia St. Joan and Danny Carroll share a 30+ year friendship that has been bound together by a shared love for movies. A trans woman and a gay man respectively, Alethia and Danny explore what these movies meant to them while they were young and closeted, and what revisiting these movies means for the actualized, arguably maladjusted adults they’ve become. It’s a heady, often crass and sometimes crude blend - part nostalgia trip, part queer theory, part film criticism. Check it out!

    Being John Malkovich

    We ping pong back and forth between this movie being really understanding of the trans experience to thinking it's pretty damn transphobic. I mainly had no memory of this movie being so trans - glad we're revisiting! I'm kinda not okay! But either way, we love love love Charlie Kaufman, the poor bastard. Enjoy!  Like what you hear?

    Batman Returns

    Put your catsuit on, cutie. And let's take a psychosexual gothic ride through the most subversive Batman installment to date. Who truly captures the freak flag in this movie? The deformed, bile-spewing Danny DeVito masterclass? The timid bachelorette who finally smashes the neon and cracks the feline whip? Or the millionaire sadboi dipweed (with a butler) who can yank their mask off like it's made of Play-Doh? Let's find out ! Happy holidays!  Like what you hear?

    Titanic

    Use the restroom before this one. We dive deep down to where many a podcast has gone before to try and find some unanswered questions about the biggest blockbuster of our youth. Why do lesbians love Jack so much? Why did I start crying about climate change halfway through the sinking? Why do I get so mean about those guys who died in the sub implosion? So let us take you by the hand down to the bowels of the ship so we can get busy in a Model-T - enjoy! Like what you hear?

    Scream

    SOMEONE’S TAKEN THEIR LOVE OF QUEER THEMES ONE STEP TOO FAR! Is this camp, is this parody, is this satire? We juggle these ideas as Danny grapples with his patent dislike of slasher films. Is Scream the exception? Let's find out! Happy Halloween! Like what you hear? Get every episode pre-release by supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/QueerProjection
