Carrie (1976) Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

Tabitha! We're taking Carrie White to the prom with a look at Stephen King's first feature film adaptation: Brian De Palma's 1976 classic, Carrie.

Up for discussion: debate over Carrie as Monster, a satire of religion, our love of Miss Collins, Pino Donaggio's score, and why Trace implores everyone to watch Chris' death scene in the 2013 remake.

Interview: Darren Stein on Carrie & Jawbreaker Jan 27, 2025

Show notes

In anticipation of our Carrie (1976) episode, we chatted with Jawbreaker writer/director Darren Stein about how De Palma's film influenced his pitch black 1999 high school horror comedy.

Speaking of Jawbreaker, we've got the scoop on what that E! TV series would have looked like! Or maybe you wanna hear about Stein's plans for a film version of the Jawbreaker musical? Or a possible requel in the vein of Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2?! Listen for the tea!

Micro Queers: We Kill Them All (2025) Jan 24, 2025

Show notes

Look for wooden magpies and beware of barbed wired because we're talking Jeremy Drummond's We Kill Them All (2025). C/W: brief attempted sexual assault

We're not sold on this indie queer thriller which pits girlfriends against a trio of rapey criminals at a deserted resort. The dialogue is particularly off-putting, some set pieces are ok but it's often quite repetitive and the messaging about queer identity & agency is...messy.

Proceed with caution!

Brain Damage (1988) Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

Get ready to beg for our juice because we are FINALLY discussing Frank Henenlotter's Brain Damage (1988).

After years of requests, we're ready to tackle Aylmer, the film's gay and/or drug allegory, and why Barbara should have just fucked the brother.

Plus: incest, bathhouse towels, sub/dom, and who could direct a remake of this exploitation classic?

Micro Queers: Windows (1980) Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

Rent a whole ass new apartment and purchase a 3 ft. telescope because we are spying on Gordon Willis' controversial queer thriller, Windows (1980) for its 45th anniversary. C/W: sexual assault and the cat does die.

Up for discussion: the creative team's pedigree, disabled women in jeopardy films, an unnecessary romance, Razzie nominations, comparisons to Carpenter's Someone's Watching Me! and Elizabeth Ashley's iconic queer villain performance.

The Wolf Man (1941) Jan 15, 2025

Grab your walking stick (or is it a cane?), make sure your heart is pure and say your prayers by night because we're talking George Waggner's 1941 classic The Wolf Man!

Join us as we discuss all things Larry Talbot, from his creep factor (by 2025 standards) to his tragic end. Plus: Jack Pierce's outstanding make-up effects, marshes vs. moors, and lots and lots of fog.
