We're wrapping up Erotic Thriller month with the gayest text of all: French writer/director Alain Guiraudie's Stranger by the Lake (2013).
This is one of Joe's favorite queer horror texts because it covers so many topics: cruising, sex and death, voyeurism, body image, gay microcosms, STIs, toxic relationship, homophobia, and gay friendships.
And that's before we tackle the unsimulated sex, discuss using condoms for blowjobs, debat...

Put on a coat and get home before midnight because we're discussing Jacqueline Castel's lesbian werewolf romance My Animal (2023).
Join us as we sing the praises of Castel's eye for aesthetics and Bobbi Salvör Menuez's lead performance, while lamenting the film's extended runtime and muted payoff. Still, there's enough here to earn a (slight) recommendation, as it features another solid performance from Bodies Bodies Bodies' Amandl...

Grab your camera and retreat to a cabin in the woods because we're discussing the feature version of Alexander McGregor Birrell's The Latent Image (2022).
This is quite similar to the short of the same name, with a few tweaks and a boyfriend for lead Ben (Joshua Tonks, guest on our BtVS episode "Once More, With Feeling). But while we're big fans of most of the technical elements (direction, acting, lighting, and set design), Trace ...

Raid the closet for tear-away suits and make a "real" martini because we're talking about Paul Feig's suburban noir, A Simple Favor (2018).
Joining us is Dread Central writer and We Really Like Her co-host Emily Gagne, who needed a second screening of the film to warm to its bisexual charms.
Up for discussion: "pretty" girls Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, shockingly casual incest, Henry Golding's career as a side piece, why this f...

Get ready to play the piano all sexy like because we're discussing Park Chan-wook's English-language debut Stoker, which is based on a screenplay from queer screenwriter (and actor) Wentworth Miller(?!?!).
Join us as we discuss the film's journey from a Black List pick to a botched marketing campaign to an even more botched release. This is a shame, because Stoker is a film that oozes so much style that it elevates its baby Dexter ...

Return to camp with Michael A. Simpson's Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988) which finds Angela killing according to Aunt Martha's conservative moral code.
We're talking about Pamela Springsteen's performance (and Felissa Rose's absence), our love of Ally, and the film's status as a self-referential horror comedy.
Plus: the lack of short shorts, poor editing, Molly's end, and debates if the laughs subvert the "trans killer" tr...
