The Wolves of Kromer (1998) Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

Grab your fur coat and tail because we're heading to the UK for a little Faerie Tale Queertre to discuss Will Gould's 1998 morality tale The Wolves of Kromer, which might be the only film we've covered with a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score!

Join us as we discuss the film's very specific aesthetic (think Vacation Bible School videos or PBS original programming) before delving into the film's admittedly on-the-nose allegories (wolves = queers) and try to figure out why Boy George only has a 5-second appearance in the opening scene.

Plus, murderous (and possibly queer?) old biddies who are horny for the Lord, a poppers anecdote and the revelation that Joe once worked at a gay bar?!

Oh, and why does this queer film's only sex scene have to be a straight one? We lycan't!

Show notes

For this week's episode, we're headed to Los Angeles to become stars in the fashion industry with Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon (2016). Tagging along for the cannibalism and necrophilia is Bloody Blunts Cinema Club'sDeVaughn Taylor who has a unique appreciation for spooky nonsense and has a pretty killer theory about what Ruby, Sarah and Gigi are really up to. CW: sexual assault, necrophilia

Up for discussion: connections to American Psycho, Abbey Lee and Jena Malone appreciation, why Trace finds the film so uncomfortable and a sprawling discussion regarding accusations about the film's misogyny.

Saw (2004) feat. Jenny Nulf & Lindsay Traves May 19, 2021

Show notes

Hello Zep, we want to play a game! So grab your blue filter and reverse bear trap because we're talking James Wan's debut film Saw! Joining us for the discussion are former guests Jenny Nulf (Fatal Frame and The Handmaiden) and Lindsay Traves (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm)!

Join us as we discuss the film's "torture porn" moniker and how it served as a reaction to 9/11 (and other things) during the Bush administration. We'll discuss the film's legacy and admire the franchise's adherence to its own continuity (for the most part).

We ask important questions like: Did Gordon actually cheat on his wife? Is Jigsaw actually a murderer? Would he be convicted in a court of law? What project management software does he use? And who shit in the toilet?

Plus, Jigsaw dioramas, sexy Billy the Puppet costumes, Trace's Cary Elwes impression and that. Fucking. Ending.
