Hoot Hoot, Bitch. After discussing the positive queer representation in John Carpenter’s Someone’s Watching Me! and the queer safe space of Midian at the center of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed, we’re heading over to Italy to wax poetic over Michele Soavi‘s 1987 giallo-cum-slasher Stage Fright! In the film, a narcissistic director (David Brandon) locks a group of stage […]

The Answer is NURSE. Last week Trace and I kicked off our Summer of Camp marathon with the satirical romp Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), a film so hilariously offensive that it could never be made today. This week, our second film begs the question: what were they thinking when they made this?! Doug Aarniokoski‘s Nurse 3D […]

Sinister Succubus. After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we did what might be our hardest pivot yet with last week’s episode on the 2002 live-action adaptation Scooby-Doo.

Rosie. F******g. Perez. We’ve been on a roll with films overshadowed by controversy lately, especially after witnessing the real-life kangaroo violence in Ted Kotcheff’s Wake in Fright and the injuries sustained by the lead actress in Pascal Laugier’s Incident in a Ghostland (on top of a problematic queer killer). We’re keeping things similar this week as […]

Trace and I started the month with Jane Schoenbrun’s microbudget creepypasta film We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, followed by our usual Friday the 13th film, Friday the 13: Jason Lives. Then last week we headed Down Under for notorious kangaroo-killing Ozploitation flick, […]

Meta Jason We’re past the halfway point of May and Trace and I have already watched a number of unusual films and had great conversations!

Baby Catfish April is firmly in the rearview, though Trace and I are still basking in the great conversations we had about Mexican sci-fi film The Untamed, 80s live-action/animation technical marvel Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and our pair of vampire films: Swedish teen coming of age ‘Let The Right One In and Western/Horror hybrid Near Dark.
