Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) feat. Carter Smith Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

Grab your camera and get ready to scream because we're talking about Irvin Kerschner's Eyes of Laura Mars (1978). Joining us to discuss the fashion, the photography, and the hot 70s men is director and returning guest Carter Smith.

We're obsessed with the glitz and the glamor of this John Carpenter-scripted film, even if we have qualms about the romance between Faye Dunaway's title character and police officer Tommy Lee Jones.

Plus: wasting Raul Julia, lesbian models, real life famous fashionistas, Carter's experiences on set, and our contemporary Euro"peen"-set sequel.

All About Evil (2010) feat. Jesse Krempel Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

Don't piss yourself while you stuff the corpses in the attic because we're having a gay old time discussing show business (the business of show) in Joshua Grannell's/Peaches Christ's 2010 horror comedy All About Evil. Joining us for the discussion is Jesse Krempel, the host of the Cult Cinema Circle podcast!

Join us as we revisit this campy gem that was very difficult to find until recently. We heap all of the praise on Natasha Lyonne's absolutely unhinged lead performance, while commending Grannell on his filmmaking craft.

Plus: Elvira out of drag, punny film titles, lots of Thomas Dekker worship, and wondering whether or not Trace knows the word "exorbitant."

Psycho (1960) Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

After tackling its two sequels, we're finally crossing off a classic with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960).

Turns out we have a ton to say in this supersized episode, which makes sense considering the film is technically masterful, features iconic sequences and boasts two stellar lead performances.

Plus: a 'pregnant' production history, Baters and momism, Gus Van Sant's 1998 shot for shot remake, and a variety of (queer) readings of Norman Bates.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021) feat. Reyna Cervantes Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

Be on the lookout for clues because we're headed back to Escape Room with Adam Robitel's sequel, Tournament of Champions (2021). With the help of returning guest Reyna Cervantes, we're discussing both the Theatrical, as well as the Extended Cut of the film (jump ahead to the ~1hr 10min mark to hear about the new beginning and end!)

Expect Minos-levels of conspiracy as we try to figure out the timeline and rationale for the two cuts.

Plus: our fave new characters and traps, retconning the original film's end, needing more Isabelle Fuhrman and James frain, and what we want in a possible third entry (and why it definitely *won't* be rated R)
