Tagging in for the discussion is returning guest (and Hellraiser franchise super fan) Bryan Christopher, who we can only assume is a masochist at heart.

It's time to reel in the catch of the day: Polish coming of age mermaid musical horror film The Lure (2015 or 2017). Along for swim lessons is Jessica Scott, who helps to clarify that Silver's storyline does *not* complicate the film's feminist reading. Plus: the clear trans allegory, our fave musical numbers (and how the film connects to Burlesque), ties to both Disney and Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid and why Mietek SUCKS.

Our second Micro Queers short this month is Griffica (2021), written and directed by CJ Arellano. This short is unique because it's told entirely in voice over, which we praise for allowing us to focus on the clean, modern visuals.

Welcome to our special bonus minisode on what it's like being a critic!

Get ready to sell your ass in the men's room because we're getting locked in a theatre with a theatre troupe in Michele Soavi's giallo-cum-slasher Stage Fright (1987)! Joining us for the conversation is Arrow Video contributor and Fragments of Fear co-host Rachael Nisbet! After trying to figure out why Stage Fright is included in lists of gialli, we go all in on Soavi's directorial debut and discuss how his tutelage from Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava fueled his creative vision for this film. P...
In the first Micro Queers of the month, we head to Texas with Brock Cravy's Innocent Boy (2020).

After years of requests we're finally heading to Midian to hang with Boone and Button-Face in Clive Barker's Nightbreed (1990)! Joining us for the conversation is super-fan Leigh Monson (see previous episode on Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II).
