And a lot of it doesn't. Plus: the "fandom's" hate for Noa, punny business na...

Tagging in for the conversation is Mae Shults, the co-host of the Lady Killers Podcast! Join us as we begin this super-sized, 3-hour episode (yes, really) by doing a prop...

Along for the ride is returning guest Carolyn Mauricette!

This time it's writer/director Quinn Armstrong's trilogy opener, The Exorcism of Saint Patrick (2024).

Sep 09, 2024•21 min•Transcript available on Metacast To tie into Tim Burton's new sequel, we're revisiting the 1988 classic Beetlejuice. Trace has a funny backstory with the film, while Joe barely has a connection to it. We both agree, however, that the film is a creative triumph, with amazing characters and boundless background details that flesh out the world. Plus: multiple queer elements, the film's obsession with suicide, the animated cartoon and the musical adaptation, and why Delia is *the* best character. Reference: Tori Williams. "No One ...

Sep 03, 2024•5 min•Transcript available on Metacast Repress that gay demon and avert the aversion therapy because we're discussing Ganymede (2024), a queer thriller that we quite liked! When a small town wrestling star develops a crush on an openly gay classmate, all Hell breaks loose when he begins seeing visions of a demonic ganymede. Featuring affecting lead performances from Pablo Castelblanco and Jordan Doww and over-the-top performances from David Koechner and Robin Lively (Teen Witch), Ganymede is a bit all over the place, but we think the...

Join us as we go deep into the production of this film that's absolutely not a ripoff of Gremlins (seriously!) before diving into the hilarious antics of the titular toothy furballs and the adventures of the Brown family. Plus: a discussion of "toned films," not...

Aug 27, 2024•5 min•Transcript available on Metacast Pack your bags and grab that promise ring because we're discussing Danishka Esterhazy's (Slumber Party Massacre '21) Tubi Original slasher Killer Body Count! This one is a bit of a mixed bag, as there are several great moments sprinkled throughout its unnecessarily long 2-hour runtime, but the gore is good and the cast is game, so you could do a lot worse on a Friday night!

Aug 20, 2024•7 min•Transcript available on Metacast A contemporary trans take on Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde featuring Suzy Izzard?! We were so psyched for this one, but alas, Trace doesn't recommend and Joe is only a soft recommend. Despite strong performances, writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern doesn't do anything with the material, which results in a film that's just kinda boring. If you're looking for a better take on this material, you're better off revisiting 1971's Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/ad...

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of The Amityville Horror, we're talking about our favorite scenes and performers in Naked Sword's 2019 porn parody Scared Stiff 2: The Amityville Whore. (And no, you don't need to have seen the first film) Although the sex is pretty vanilla and the film is far too long (3 hours?!), we have to admit: this film is both surprisingly funny and occasionally hot.

We have *lots* of questions: where's the bisexuality? Why is the body count so low? How much should Steven Spielberg ...
