Strap in because we're discussing our first Mexican film and boy is it a doozy! We're going to be discussing all the internalized homophobia and tentacle alien monster sexcapades in Amat Escalante's 2016 film The Untamed! Join us as we try to figure out what the tentacle alien monster represents while lauding the film for its realistic (and graphic!) depiction of gay sex and then jump right into adding a new letter to the LGBTQIA acronym (someone alert GLAAD!). Plus: meat-eating as a sign of mas...

Joining us for the trip is Kyle Adam Foster! Join us as we dive into all the hoops Bigelow had to jump through just to get this film made (a woman doing "man movies?"

Mar 29, 2022•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast We're jetting back to 1960 to check out Michael Powell's classic Peeping Tom. First: forget Psycho (ok, we can't help but make comparisons!). But really, this film deserves more attention and recognition, and not just because it's a trivia question in Scream 4! Joe is adamant that the film is about more than gendered violence, while Trace has all of the medical deets about scopophilic fetishism aka voyeurism. Plus: a Scorcese save, penis tripods, films within films (Singin' in the Rain!), the fi...

The Jennifer Lawrence movie is more endurance experience than film and features a messy mix of religious, environmental and creative allegories that definitely contributed to its F Cinemascore.
