Death Becomes Her (1992)

Death Becomes Her (1992)

2024-10-3002:09:16

Spoon that icing out of the can and get ready for a lot of time jumps because "it" is awake in Robert Zemeckis' Death Becomes Her (1992). It's a smorgasbord of bitchery and high fashion in this delectable black comedy. Join us as we marvel at the Oscar-winning special effects that are anything but "cheap" in this hilarious film starring two of Hollywood's greatest actresses (Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn) and a scene-stealing Bruce Willis. Plus: fat suits, rock-like tits, floating nuns, beekeeper couture, and sex. Sex. Sex. En garde, bitches! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Beware of dark web games and toxic workplaces because we're checking out Michelle Iannantuono's Livescreamers (2023). There's a lot to like about this, from gaming Easter Eggs to big topic issues in gaming and online environments. A few plot beats don't entirely work for us, but it's easy to forgive that when gamers are being sprayed with blood! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Night of the Demons (1988)

Night of the Demons (1988)

2024-10-2301:29:56

Ditch the school dance and come party with Angela because we're talking Kevin S. Tenney's Night of the Demons (1988). Not a lot of character or plot in this one, but it's a really fun time with some stylish direction and great FX. Plus: Angela as a dancing (nepo) icon, Linnea Quigley's line deliveries, Rodger as a rare black 80s horror survivor, and subverting the "good boy/bad boy" trope with Jay and Sal. Questions? Comments?

Bust out those American flags and prepare to get that child schnockered because we're finally discussing Bob Clark's seminal horror classic Black Christmas (1974). Tagging in for the conversation is award-winning Australian film critic and author Alexandra Heller-Nicholas! Join us as we do a deep dive into one of Elvis Presley's favorite films (yes, really!), praising Queen Barb (Margot Kidder) and marveling at the sheer progressiveness of the film. From abortion subplots to discussions of female agency, Black Christmas is one pretty, piggy picture that's a classic for a reason! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Rev that chainsaw and break a window (or two) because we are celebrating Tobe Hooper's classic film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). Hitching a ride in the van is The Losers' Club and Halloweenies co-host Rachel Reeves, who offers invaluable insight into the sound design of the film. Plus: defending Franklin, iconic shots, treating people as meat, Leatherface as matriarch, and a lot of screaming.

Pop in that 1984 videocassette because we're checking out writer/director Cradeaux Alexander's Inherit The Witch (2024). Sadly we're not recommending this one. Despite a few fun performances and an unexpected ending, the feuding family film is overly plotted, feels drawn out, and features some pretty dodgy acting. It's just not for us. Questions? Comments?

Gone Girl (2014)

Gone Girl (2014)

2024-10-0202:35:51

Check your red panty inventory and hide that bottle of Chardonnay because we're discussing David Fincher's exceptional adaptation of Gillian Flynn's bestseller Gone Girl in the third week of our Anniversaries and Diva Worship theme. Be a "Cool Girl" and give us a listen! Join us as we dig into the origins of Flynn's source novel before going all in on this 2.5-hour juggernaut of a film (and yet it flies by???). From Rosamund Pike's Oscar-nominated performance to the accusations of misogyny, there's no shortage of things to discuss in this densely plotted film. Plus: Carrie Coon (and Missi Pyle!) worship, atrocious accent attempts, thoughts on the Outback Steakhouse, treasure hunts and world class vaginas. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Gather your queers and your WOC because we're talking Parker Brennon's anthology Hauntology (2024).

Birth (2004)

Birth (2004)

2024-09-2502:04:03

It's a 'Joe pick' for the second week of our Gay Icons & Anniversaries theme as the boys discuss Jonathan Glazer's modern classic Birth (2004). Starring Nicole Kidman as a woman grieving her dead husband, Birth was a lightning rod for controversy, but it's so much more than its bathtub scene and reincarnation plot. Plus: why Bright's casting prompted a complete script rewrite, ties to Rosemary's Baby, a superb Anne Heche, and the two minute long take that should have earned Kidman an Oscar nom. This is a gay masterpiece, people! References: > "Revisiting Jonathan Glazer’s Birth, 20 years on." Dazed > Stephen Gillespie. Revenants of Memory: An Analysis of Glazer’s Birth.

when I first watched this film (shown to me as a closeted nb by an out nb in uni) I instantly sensed that the vampire was mtf and had a traumatic background with that. to hear you guys give the background from the book and find that it is indeed the case, makes me feel validated for my interpretation of the film

I would say Jesus fucking Christ but somehow it seems like the wrong person to get involved purely for the sake of least possible agitation

Just found you <3 So the Descent*...I am a Juno sympathizer as well...Especially when people say she murdered Beth...Beth snuck up behind someone who was literally just processing that they just fought for their life against a cave creature that killed her friend Holly. Her reaction was pure instinct and natural to go directly on an offensive. Would love to talk more about Juno!
