Watch out for "ister gay" (oof), take some Gas-X and bite our bags because we're talking Lawrence Kasdan's baffling 2003 adaptation of Stephen King's equally baffling novel Dreamcatcher.

Join us as we go all in on the farty farty aliens populating this hilarious misfire that often feels like a bad Kevin Smith script. It's a film filled with characters who get a single defining trait (if they're lucky) played by respectable actors who are here for the paycheck (looking at you, Morgan Freeman).

Plus: blown-out assholes, using guns as telephones, pitying poor Donnie Wahlberg, and wondering why the hell this movie is called Dreamcatcher.

Huff those poppers and wield that bladed stake vibrator thing you stupid douchebag, because we're talking our very first Ken Russell film in his messy-but-fascinating erotic thriller Crimes of Passion (1984)!

Join us as we do a deep dive into what Joe describes as a John Waters fever dream. It's a film that boasts fantastic performances from Kathleen Turner and Anthony Perkins (in a role we would deem "brave" for the actor), who electrify the screen when its not focused on the torturous mundane existence that is heterosexual marriage. 

Plus, X-rated MPAA woes, that "magic" trick, silhouette sex, debating the mixed messaging of the ending, and genuinely wondering when the hell Joanna sleeps!

Make note of that smiley face sticker and snag that conveniently-placed jar of acid because we're talking Joe Dante's stealth werewolf classic The Howling (1981)!

Join us as we discuss the film's deviations from its source material before doing a deep dive into this very tongue-in-cheek, self-aware horror film. It honestly feels like a precursor to Scream, in many ways!

Plus: Roger Corman (again!) those incredible special effects, differentiating "color movies" from "movies in color," and why queer icon Elisabeth Brooks has us going "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day...courtesy of gay German director Roland Emmerich. 

As the summer blockbuster celebrates its 30th anniversary, we're looking back on an alien disaster film that scared young Trace (thanks to that alien autopsy scene) and turned Will Smith into a star.

Plus: the death that upsets the most; bemoaning Vivica A. Fox's career; pondering what could have been with the casting; why Smith's bravado and the film's patriotism doesn't always work for Joe; and plenty of riffing on the atrocious sequel.

A spoiler-filled discussion with writer/director Adrian Chiarella on his 2026 queer horror romance film, Leviticus. 

We discuss casting Mia Wasikowska, the film's sex scene, the implications of the ending, the loss of support for LGBTQIA stories, and the possibility of a sequel.

Grab your favorite surgical knife and call your mobile knife sharpener because we're discussing our very first William Castle film in his 1961 Psycho homage (or rip-off...you decide) Homicidal!

Join us as we discuss the origins of William Castle, aka "The Gimmick Guy", before diving into a film that has a fantastic first and last 15 minutes, but also a middle hour filled with obscene amounts of exposition. And don't forget about the Fright Break!

Plus: Alyssa Edwards chatter, humans drinking bowls of warm milk, all the praise for Jean Arless' (aka Joan Marshall's) dual performance, and a primer on Christine Jorgensen, the first person to become widely known in the United States for having gender reassignment surgery.

Ignore that threatening email from Jane O'Brien media because we are discussing queer director David Farrier's thriller-y documentary, Tickled (2016).

If you haven't seen it, watch the doc first because you won't believe where this exposé of "competitive tickling videos" goes and we are spoiling ALL of the reveals.

Plus: Joe's discomfort with the Richard Ivey segment, pondering the extent of the empire, and debate about the ending
