Horror Queers

Cue the green & red lighting and the KNB effects because we are talking about the absolutely *wild* 1993 film, Doppelganger.

Starring 17 year old emancipated minor Drew Barrymore, writer/director Avi Nesher's curious oddity is "DePalma meets Argento in the guise of a Lifetime film". Filled with gay extras and capital-A acting from the supporting cast, Doppelganger is one bizarre creative decision after another from beginning to (abs...

Watch out for those jellyfish and be nice to Jerry the alien, because we're talking Barry Levinson's misguided 1998 adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Sphere! 

Join us as we try to figure out just what went wrong with this thing. From the lackluster direction to the hectic editing to the uneven performances (Sharon Stone innocent), it's hard to find one single reason for Sphere's badness. Hell, we can't even determine when we tu...

For its 20th anniversary, we're revisiting screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick (Final Destination)'s succubus film, Tamara (2005/2006).

This one is...perplexing. The script fails to establish how the characters know each other, it punishes them unfairly and in a bizarre order, and the ending is baffling.

But it's so trope-y, it's an easy watch, star Jenna Dewan is having a blast, and there's a mean streak that we appreciate.

We're back to discuss the best horror of 2025 in 20+ categories, including acting, directing, queer horror, TV, FX, death, sequence, and more!

Nominees were provided by Patrons, and then the general public voted for the last two weeks of December.

Will Oscar nominated titles like Sinners and Weapons dominate like The Substance did? Or will smaller titles carve out some space?

Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on BlueSk...

Come on down to the Dreamland Theater because we're turning a trio of turkeys into a memorable moviegoing feast with director Mark Herrier's 1991 slasher Popcorn.

Starring a bunch of horror royalty and featuring three movies-within-a-movie, this cult title is a fun slice of entertainment with some great mask FX!

Plus: queer actor Tom Villard, a himbo with head injuries, remake potential, and debate about whether the film is meta or n...

Look out the "window" and invite all the alters to the party because we're discussing M. Night Shyamalan's hugely successful but somewhat controversial 2016 thriller Split!

Join us as we parse through the film's questionable handling of dissociative identity disorder and sexual assault, while lauding Shyamalan's creative return to form and James McAvoy's stellar performance. 

Plus: Wheel of Fortune tactics, debating whether or not Dr...

Gather your closest group of friends and get ready to head to the Amazon rainforest because we're discussing Tom Gormican's (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) 2025 reboot of Anaconda. Unfortunately, our anacondas don't want none of this, hun.

Join us as we try to figure out who thought this was a good idea (though judging by the box office numbers, the gamble seems to have paid off). Its reliance on juvenile humor, subpar thr...

Run across that causeway because we're opening the Patreon vault and diving head first into Danny Boyle's unexpectedly weird 28 Years Later (2025). It's Act I of a planned trilogy, but does it stand on its own?

Join us as we discuss the Brexit allegory, lament the predictable zombie fare and laud the emotional gut punch of the third act. Also: take a shot every time we say "maybe we'll find out in the sequel(s)."

Plus, prosthetic pen...

We're kicking off a new year with Alex Garland's feature directorial debut, Ex Machina (2014). Joining us for the ride is Garland mega-fan Miss Sinclair from Talk Movie To Me podcast.

This prescient film has aged incredibly well: from its portrayal of an entitled tech billionaire to its naive-meets-incel "white knight" protagonist to questions about the ethics of AI. It's a film filled with questions, which has us posing a number of...

Pull that severed head out of the aquarium and grab a pomegranate to take with you into the shower (seriously) because we're discussing Ken Hughes' Boston-set slasher Night School (1981)!

Join us as we go all in on this forgotten film, from its original title of Terror Eyes (get it?) to its notorious status as a video nasty. And on top of everything, it's got a predatory lesbian character to boot!

Plus: lauding that "is the head in t...

Take off your heels and prep your taser because we're stuck in a cold parking garage for Christmas with Franck Kalfoun's P2 (2007). Along for the joyride is Stuart Ross from Another Gay Horror Podcast, who's watching the film for the first time! C/W: Sexual harassment

Join us as we praise leads Rachel Nichols and (an admittedly typecast) Wes Bentley, as well as a fantastic flooded elevator sequence.

Plus: beautiful businesswoman Ange...

Ride that hippo and stay off the floor because we are talking about Bryan Fuller's feature directorial debut, Dust Bunny (2025).

Starring a perfectly cast Sophie Sloan as a young girl who hires a nameless hitman (Mads Mikkelsen) to kill the monster under her bed, this is a throwback to classic gateway horror films from the Amblin era.

Plus: Sigourney Weaver (and her gun heels), praise for balancing so many genres/tones, homages aplen...

Grab those dice, Sonny Jim! Roll with the punches and and pray they read 5 or 8 because we're talking Joe Johnston's original gateway horror creature feature Jumanji (1995) for its 30th anniversary, or as it could also be called: 'Daddy Issues: The Movie'.

Join us as we go all in on the film that made Trace a fan of creature features to begin with. From its dark tone (especially when compared to the newer Jumanji films) to its scary...
