  1. "Sex & Death & Girls & Cars & Gods" - TITANE (2021)

    JUN 27

    "Sex & Death & Girls & Cars & Gods" - TITANE (2021)

    This episode, we're taking on a real brain-bender: the French film "Titane"'; a whirlwind of sex, death, cars, and a whole heap of existential questions. The movie is a tough cookie, but MAYA MURPHY and I here to break it down and make it all a bit simpler for you. Together we’ll explore the layers of this challenging but rewarding yet deeply f***ed up film. Trust me, there’s more than just the hyperviolence, graphic nudity and car sex surface to uncover. So buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a journey through the bizarre and beautiful chaos that is "Titane." Takeaways: The film 'Titane' explores complex themes of identity, sexuality, and the nature of humanity through its unique narrative. The lead character's relationship with cars serves as a metaphor for deeper emotional connections and societal taboos around sexuality. Despite its shocking elements, 'Titane' ultimately reveals a story about acceptance, love, and the struggle for identity in a harsh world. Understanding 'Titane' requires looking beyond its surface-level provocations to appreciate its artistic commentary on life and human experience.

    "Blessed be the sinners..." - NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988)

    It's campy. It's raunchy. It's gory. It's the beloved 1988 cult classic crowd pleaser, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS! In fact, I love this movie so much, I'm throwing a two-part SPECTACULAHHHR. Ten rambunctious teens throw a Halloween party in a spooky abandoned funeral parlor and end up raising hell.` In part of the SPECTACULAHHHR, I'm joined by everyone's favorite heterosexual podfaders and Night of the Demons virgins, ALLISON NOWACKI and BRYAN J.

    This bonus episode of ScreamQueenz contains a newly public episode of IT CAME FROM THE '70s! originally broadcast on November 3, 2023. Climb aboard Polyester Airlines for a charter flight back in time to the year 1981 to discuss the truly chilling tale of supernatural retribution, DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW.

    MAR 21

    "Vestal Virgins, Soul-Sucking Shapeshifters & a Clowder of Cats!" - STEPHEN KING'S SLEEPWALKERS (1992)

    "Outrageous!"-"Ridiculous!"-"Offensive!"-"Fabulous!" Well, enough about me. Let's talk about SLEEPWALKERS! Join me, Patrick Walsh, and my guest, everyone's favorite New York City-based undead horror host Unkle Spooky on a deranged deep dive into the delicious chaos that is STEPHEN KING'S SLEEPWALKERS, a film as taboo and flawed as it is wildly entertaining. Tanya and Charles are the perfect All-American high school couple about to go on their first date. Unfortunately for Tanya, Charles and his mother are unkillable incestuous shapeshifting werecats who feed on the souls of young virgins, and Tanya is next on their menu! Will Tanya fall prey to these kinky beasts? Or is there an adorable four-legged hero somewhere who knows the one thing that can stop this monstrous duo forever? Look, I know this movie is a hot mess, but I still love it, warts and all, because hiding under all the absurdity, there's true greatness just waiting for someone to find it. And that someone is ME. SLEEPWALKERS was directed by Mick Garris, written by Stephen King and stars Mädchen Amick, Brian Krause, Alice Krige and Ron Perlman.

  6. Val Lewton's Queer-Coded Film Noir Masterpiece - CAT PEOPLE (1942)

    FEB 27

    Val Lewton's Queer-Coded Film Noir Masterpiece - CAT PEOPLE (1942)

    "You can fool everybody, but landy deary me, you can't fool a cat!" Irena, a lonely young Serbian immigrant, believes she is descended from a tribe of shape-shifting witches and fears that any physical intimacy will change her into a killer jungle cat. Irena can run. Irena can hide. But she cannot deny the Beast Inside. CAT PEOPLE somehow managed to tell a clearly queer-coded tale of forbidden desires and unspeakable passions at the height of Hayes Code Production censorship, and we are thrilled that it did, because this film is a delight to watch. My special guest this episode are TARA GARNER and KASEY LOMAN. CAT PEOPLE was produced by VAL LEWTON, directed by JACQUES TOURNEUR, written by DEWITT BODEEN and stars SIMONE SIMON, KENT SMITH, JANE RANDOLPH and TOM CONWAY.

    JAN 31

    MARGAUX (2020) - "J!zz House: The House That J!zzed"

    Please excuse these crappy AI show notes. They're just placeholders until the real ones are finished later today. Prepare yourself for a wild ride through the Canadian horror weirdness when host Patrick Walsh is joined by the fabulous Creepy Kitsch girls, Cindy and Stacy to discuss MARGAUX: the killer smart house movie ` for a lively discussion that ranges from the film's plot to its outrageous moments and everything in between. Right from the get-go, Patrick's infectious energy sets the tone, hinting at the movie's more ridiculous elements while also revealing unexpected layers of storytelling that caught him off guard. It’s refreshing to hear them dissect a film that many might dismiss outright, as they uncover the nuances in character development and the surprisingly well-crafted narrative that lies beneath the chaotic exterior.

    *REPOST- Editing Errors Fixed* - UNCLE PECKERHEAD (2020)

    ***This episode of ScreamQueenz was first released on 11/29/2024 with an excessive amount of editing errors making the show unlistenable. The errors have been fixed. My apologies for the sloppiness.*** Punk rock will never die! But punk rockers sure do. Plus they are delicious. In UNCLE PECKERHEAD (currently streaming on Prime, Hulu, Sling TV and The Roku Channel), a fledging punk band starting out on their first tour discovers their new hot Southern daddy roadie is also a man-eating...thing. They also discover...that's not a dealbreaker. On the surface, "Uncle Peckerhead" is a delightfully fun, gory, campy, feel-good rock 'n roll road trip movie with a ton of genuine heart that's shockingly queer positive! But lurking deep underneath all that sweet Southern charm is an insidiously wicked "deal with the devil" Faustian pact story. And Judy and her band are about to learn that when you bargain with the devil, he ALWAYS gets his due... My very special guests this episode are the editor of Bear World Magazine and Stan the Mechanics' alter ego, JOHN HERNANDEZ, and co-creator and star of "Good Cops" and "I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker", DEREK HAUGEN. UNCLE PECKERHEAD was written & directed by MATTHEW JOHN LAWRENCE and stars DAVID LITTLETON, CHET SIEGAL, JEFF RIDDLE and RUBY McCOLLISTER Links referenced in this episode: univozpods.netbearworldmag.comstanthemecanic.compatreon.com/screamqueenzbit.ly/joinSQclub Mentioned in this episode: Bliss Book Pick up the gnarly new survivor horror novel BLISS by Brandon Halsey on Amazon!
