    Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)

    Grab your gun and watch out for falling planters because we're back in Hagsploitation territory with Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), the defacto sequel to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

    There's so much to enjoy in this delectable thriller, including gorgeous B/W cinematography, another empathetic lead performance from Bette Davis and a scenery chewing Olivia de Havilland.

    Plus: Another epic Bette vs Joan showdown, surprising Oscar noms, double bill recommendations, and why de Havilland should have played more bitches

    Micro Queers: You Are Not Me (2023)

    Beware of pigs on the road and hide your wedding dress because we're talking Marisa Crespo & Moisés Romera's queer Christmas horror film, You Are Not Me (2022).

    Spoiler alert: this is a great companion piece to The Invitation, complete with cults, and a consideration of class and cultural stereotypes. It's also shot really well!

    The Phantom of the Opera (2004) feat. Bartees Strange

    Prepare yourself for bloat and bombast because we're discussing Joel Schumacher's 2004 adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera for its 20th anniversary! Tagging in for the conversation is queer musician Bartees Strange, who provides some much needed musical insight on the film.

    Join us as we try to figure out why this movie doesn't sing (sorry) the way it should. It's a constant war of style vs. substance, with a lot of visuals that look great....but mean nothing. Adding insult to injury is the perplexing decision to cast non-singer Gerard Butler as the Phantom, who makes some questionable decisions regarding the villain's characterization.

    Plus: Emmy Rossum's breakout role, Patrick Wilson's Lord Farquad haircut, reprise after reprise after reprise, golden arm candelabra holders and a runaway chandelier.

    ***Episode Correction: During his prodcution history, Trace says that the stage production of The Phantom of the Opera premiered in 1968, but it was actually 1986.

    I See You (2019)

    We're celebrating director Adam Randall's under seen puzzle film I See You (2019) for its fifth anniversary.

    From the film's terrible marketing to its plethora of twists, there's a lot to discuss, including a potentially uncomfortable reading about (implied) sexual molestation.

    Plus: queer writer Devon Graye, Helen Hunt's return, phrogging in horror, and *that* score!

    The Stylist (2020) feat. Lindsay Traves

    Wield your clippers and marvel at your Scalp Shrine because we're discussing Jill Gevargizian's feature directorial debut The Stylist (2020)! Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and resident wig expert) Lindsay Traves!

    Join us as we dive into the mind of protagonist Claire, played wonderfully by Najarra Townsend while lauding Gevargizian's stylish (heh heh) filmmaking techniques. Plus: a discussion on salon etiquette, some supremely squelchy foley work and the world's cheapest wedding hairstyle ($65?! Really?!).
