    Chucky Queers: S03E07 "There Will Be Blood"

    In Chucky's penultimate season 3 episode, everyone is up to speed on all things Chucky, but it's time to check in with the man himself: Charles Lee Ray (the ghost version)! Things are looking pretty dire for everyone as we head into the finale, but we have thoughts!

    Plus: catching up with Tiffany, ghost presidents, one very bloody elevator and a séance to end all séances.

    eXistenZ (1999) feat. Vannah Taylor

    Lube up your industry standard bio-port because we're playing David Cronenberg's eXistenZ (1999) with someone friendly: Vannah Taylor!

    David Cronenberg's meditation on the dangers of gaming and simulation is the middle entry of an unofficial trilogy. It's also a film that gets real confusing, real fast, so good luck figuring out if we're still in the game!

    Plus: criticisms of a "bland" game world, praise for Jennifer Jason Leigh, Canadian royalty, comparisons to Serenity, disgusting gristle guns, and Pikul getting his back blown out (several times!)

    Eli (2019)

    Fog up your window and watch out for hallway ghosts because we're discussing Ciarán Foy's 2019 shocker Eli! Join us as we dive into this horror story of a boy and his plastic bubble while, of course, applying a queer reading to it.

    Plus: mosquito hawks vs. dragonflies, questionable medical procedures, jump scares aplenty, a chilling performance from Lili Taylor and one absolute gem of a twist.

    Chucky Queers: S03E05 "Death Becomes Her"

    Chucky returns for Part 2 of S03 and while we're unsure what the title "Death Becomes Her" refers to, we like this as a reintroduction.

    There's a bit of Tilly, some cherry popping and some eye gouging.

    Plus: is First Lady Charlotte gonna fuck Pryce? Will Henry team up with Caroline? And will Devon or Grant make it to S04?

    An American Werewolf in London (1981) feat. Xero Gravity

    Try not to wolf out because we're talking about John Landis' classic, An American Werewolf in London (1981). Backpacking along with us is Xero Gravity, who went on a werewolf binge and has recommendations!

    Up for discussion: Alex's underdeveloped character, urban set pieces, dirty movie theaters, and British rural horror.

    Plus: a queer reading of David and Jack's relationship, Jewish horror, an unsexy sex scene, and extended tangents about werewolf anatomy.

    The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) feat. Jordan Gustafson

    Scratch out that passport photo and don't be boring because we're discussing Anthony Minghella's 1999 adaptation, The Talented Mr. Ripley! Tagging in for the conversation is Jordan Gustafson, the co-host of the Queer Quadrant Podcast!

    Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's classic novel, from Matt Damon's stellar performance as evil twink Tom Ripley to Jude Law's massive cakes. The film also puts a heavier emphasis on Tom's queerness, so you know we'll have a lot to say about that!

    Plus: homoerotic bathtub chess matches, a lengthy tangent on the Oscars, and a compulsive need for more Cate Blanchett.
