Good Manners (2017) Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

Joe and Trace travel to Brazil to check in on expectant mother Ana and her nanny/housekeeper Clara in Marco Dutra and Juliana Rojas' dark fairytale festival fave.

Trace finds a couple of surprisingly conservative readings regarding abortion and lesbianism in this pregnancy horror film. The pair discuss the film's critical reception and how that ties into the film's "two movies in one" structure, Joe tackles the film's subtle race critique and ribs Trace about the film's CGI and homage to Frankenstein.

Plus: in one of the longest plot recaps in the show's history, Trace somehow finds a way to reference The Lizzie McGuire movie AGAIN and Joe butchers yet another round of actor names.

This week's Game: What kind of baby monster would you choose to raise and why?

Tragedy Girls (2017) feat. Dani Ryan Aug 14, 2019

Show notes

After so many months, the boys are ready to embrace facts: they are social media darlings and the world needs to know it! With Dani Ryan along for the ride, the trio "Like and Fave" Tyler MacIntyre's astute meta-comedy about two aspiring serial (or is it spree?) killers on the cusp of graduating high school with a body count.

Up for discussion: Are the girls on equal footing? Are they in love with each other? And why do people dislike these girls?

Also: Trace works on his transitions between segments, he and Dani are hot for Josh Hutcherson (and why everyone should be watching Hulu’s Future Man), and Joe elaborates on why Craig Robinson’s character doesn’t work for him.

Oh, and the trio discuss the logistics of being "buttholed to death.”

Audition (1999) Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

Kiri Kiri Kiri! The boys are officially declaring August Femme Fatale Month, which means they'll be tackling a bunch of films with some killer ladies (aka Trace's favorite type of character)! First up is Asami Yamazaki in Takashi Miike's controversial 1999 film, Audition! That's right, it's another Japanese film, which means you can laugh along (or take a shot) every time Joe mispronounces a character's name!

Join Joe and Trace as they discuss the misogynistic (douchebag protagonist, objectification of women) and feminist (taking down the patriarchy, Asami as an avenging angel) elements of the film, BDSM, the secret queer relationship that no one talks about and the beautiful gore that fills the film's final act. Finally, they take the film's revelatory flashback to task for not making any sense whatsoever!

Oh, and Joe is somehow able to liken the film to Bring it On.

Trigger Warning: The dog DOES die in this movie, but it's off-screen. You do see its corpse, though.

This Week's Game: If forced to part ways with a body part, which body part would it be.

ParaNorman (2012) feat. Brenna Clarke Gray Jul 31, 2019

Show notes

The boys fall through the 3D printer as they tackle their very first stop-motion animated family film. Thankfully they have help from Brenna Clarke Gray, the co-host of Joe's other podcast - Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr, which focuses on Young Adult literature adaptations.

Brenna's vast range of experiences (English professor, mother, former voice actor, lover of Hilary Duff and hater of horror films) provides no shortage of amusing stories and anecdotes as the trio unpack the film.

Topics include an unexpected queer character, homages to classic horror films, sequences that made us tear up, ParaNorman's unexpected anti-police stance and LAIKA's lengthy production process.

This Week's Game: What property would benefit from being turned into a stop-motion film?

Orphan (2009) feat. Sade Sellers Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

Joe and Trace traverse the spooky halls of Dark Castle Entertainment to discuss Jaume Collet-Serra's (The Shallows, House of Wax) creepy-kid movie Orphan! Joining them on their tour is Sade Sellers, one of the co-hosts of the Afro Horror Podcast! Her expertise on black horror cinema proves crucial when the boys analyze Sister Abigail (C.C.H. Pounder)'s brutal death by hammer!

Other topics on the table includes the film's obscenely long 123-minute runtime, Trace's thoughts on Taissa Farmiga's acting abilities (or lack thereof) and Joe's fight for deaf actors' rights.

Also: Why is Peter Sarsgaard's character the absolute worst? Why doesn't Character Actress Margo Martindale believe anything Vera Farmiga says? And what is Asia Argento's secret connection to the film?

In the Flesh (2013) feat. David Opie Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

The boys are jumping across the pond this week to meet up with journalist David Opie to discuss the first season series of Britain's queer zombie show In the Flesh! Feeling intimidated be a whole season series of TV? Never fear! Because it's British, it's only three episodes long! And it's available on Amazon Prime and Hulu!

Join them as they discuss zombies as a metaphor for queerness and the absolute brilliance of Emily Bevan's rebellious Amy. Plus, they condemn the 2016 film The Cure for completely ripping off In the Flesh's premise.

And in one of their more bizarre tangents: a debate over baked goods!

Scream: Resurrection (2019) Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

SPOILER ALERT: We are spoiling the entire six episodes, but as Joe says in the intro, it is SO BAD that we don't recommend anyone watch. Just listen to us instead.

In this special episode, the boys swing by Atlanta to check the latest TV iteration of Ghostface and the Scream franchise. Alas the "Deadfast Club" proves to be as uninspired as their attempts at metatextuality. This series has virtually nothing to offer, only bad writing, bad acting, terrible pacing, and lacklustre kills. Plus: the killer reveal is one of the most offensive insults to horror fans in quite some time.

This Week's Game: Where does the Scream franchise go from here?
