Two queer men spend an hour each week chating about monsters, their problems and complexities, and why we connect to them as queer figures.
After a long and unplanned hiatus we're back and we're excited to talk about what we've been up to. Not Off, though, we'll be back on the gay agenda soon. In the meantime Hayden wanted to talk about the weird themes in Night in the Woods, and Lu was excited to share a look at the sexy robots of Warframe.

It's Christmas Day so we're talking about the 2015 movie Krampus. When a family loses the Christmas spirit it unleashes an evil version of Santa with hooves and dental problems and far more vore than any of us remembered. We discuss the thematic impact of code switiching, the power of character arcs for the ones who survive into the second act of a film, and the true meaning of family.

With the winter deep upon us it's time to visit a lesser known Rankin/Bass film about the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, as well as take some time to think about Santa himself. We talk about whether Santa even did anything in this film, the surprise monster Lu didn't remember from the film, and how old we were when we figured out the Santa myth. Then Hayden finally digs down to explain why the term "daddy" makes him uncomfortable.

We're in the thick of holiday season now so this week we're talking about The Nightmare Before Christmas. Join our look back at this Halloween/Christmas story about a skeleton king who isn't satisfied with his life and so tries to take over a new holiday. We talk about Hot Topic romances, what happens when a movie doesn't know its own metaphor, and how Jack Skeleington is really just actual Tim Burton.Â

It's just past Thanksgiving so it's time to celebrate with The Addams Family Values. We explore this absolutly fantastic movie with a deep dive into the radical love and honesty of the Addams's's's's's, the reason why the Addams embrace the villain of this film, and the many perils of summer camp. Â We also discuss the famous Thanksgiving scene, why it's important, and where it may not hold up, if you want to skip past this rather tough discussion you can jump to 1:03:00, or if you're interested in some discussion of Thanksgiving from an actual Native perspective check out these articles: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-orange-thanksgiving-history-20171123-story.html, https://truthout.org/articles/the-future-is-indigenous-decolonizing-thanksgiving/.

It's been a few weeks but we are back and better than ever with Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic Alien. We talk about the real monster of this movie, the horny creature and set design of H. R. Gieger, and good self destruct button design. Thanks to @Pug50 on Twitter for suggesting this episode.

We picked a wild one for this week. After some talk on coffee and tabletop games we take a look at Bram Stoker's 1897 novel about the most famous of vampires and it might be the most queer thing we've seen yet! We break down whether Mina Harker is a good feminist character, why Bram Stoker might have been better as a screenwriter, the most homoerotic scene in this novel, and so much more.

We're finally finishing up Queer Lust Month and our look at witches with Death Becomes Her, a movie that strains belief by asking you to find Meryl Streep unattractive. We talk about gothic architechture, Goldie Hawn's terrible wigs, and whether or not we would want to live forever.

Queer lust month continues its exploration of witches this week with.... The Witch! We talk about how to read this movie as folklore, how Thomasin's entire family throws her under the horse drawn cart, why Will is just the worst, whether real villains of this film are witches or parents...... and a lot of other stuff, too. There was just a lot to talk about in this one.

Queer Lust Month continues its look at witches with a dive into the 1993 Disney "Horror" movie Hocus Pocus. We talk about how the Sanderson sisters feel like family, one of the best written 8 year olds ever, why no one is talking about the book made of human skin, and Disney's weird obsession with virginity in a PG film. Then Hayden talks about why the actual Salem "witches" get such a bad break in horror movies.

It's Queer Lust Month and we're offically starting it off right with a good long talk about history's embodiement of strong lesbian energy: Witches. Is Mrs. Frizzle a witch or a time lady? Is worldbuilding sometimes bad? Who are the formative witches of our lives? Listen to find out answers to these questions and also a deconstruction of anti-capitalistic autonomy in proto-capitalist society.
