THEY/THEM (2022)
Episode description
"I'd understand it a lot more if there were a lot more queer bashing and bible-thumping..."
On the surface, the movie Blumhouse's THEY/THEM had everything going for it:
- A slasher film with a novel queer conversion camp setting.
- Three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan at the helm.
- Kevin Bacon's return to his horror roots.
- Queer characters actually played by queer actors.
With a built-in audience, undeniable talent, and seemingly the best intentions, THEY/THEM seem poised to take Queer Horror Cinema to the next level while exposing the real-life horrors of conversion therapy.
Instead, it failed on almost every level.
Join my special guests TARA GARNER and REVERAND BEN FITZGERALD-FYE as we take a good long look at what went wrong at Camp Whistler
THEY/THEM is currently available on Peacock.
Written & directed by JOHN LOGAN. Starring KEVIN BACON, ANNA CHLUMSKY, THEO GERMAINE, MONIQUE KIM, QUEI TANN and DARWIN DEL FABRO
