    Micro Queers: The Piper (2023)

    Micro Queers: The Piper (2023)

    Break out your flute because we're talking about queer director Erlingur Thoroddsen's latest film, The Piper!
    We like this fine. The story is a bit too familiar, but the technical elements make up for that.
    Plus: Julian Sands' last role, a gnarly kill scene, and wishing the Harbinger had more to do.

    Strangers on a Train (1951)

    Strangers on a Train (1951)

    We're back in Hitchcock territory talking about queer villains again with 1951's Strangers on a Train.
    In addition to queer author Patricia Highsmith's source material, we've got lead actor Farley Granger (Rope), obsessive stalking, "I like you" and shirt buttoning, plus climactic fucking on the carousel.
    Plus: a tense tennis match, a reflective murder, slutty Miriam, frequent subversions, surprising comedy, and MVP Pat Hitchcock as Babs!

    Personal Shopper (2016) feat. Ari Drew

    Personal Shopper (2016) feat. Ari Drew

    Do not take your phone off Airplane mode because we're heading to Paris to discuss Olivier Assayas' Personal Shopper (2016). Helping us sift through this fascinating, dense film is Trace's better half (and frequent returning guest) Ari Drew!
    Join us as we heap all the praise on Kristen Stewart before diving into all things supernatural (and technology!), linking the film to the recent wave of liminal horror films.
    Plus: Joe "raps" (yes, really), fade-outs galore, the necessity of on-screen nudity, silly conversations about gorillas and one of the scariest scenes to come out of the 2010s.

Drew let’s be friends!

I never leave reviews so this is my first because the Mothman Prophecies episode was just awesome! Ari Drew hit the nail on the head, and his take reminds me of why I fell in love with this movie and continue to be fascinated with those eerie topics.

No, but really…

How many times can you quote a line from a movie and then — misquote it?

PC, Stuck Up Snobs

Early on these two used to be great to listen to, but as they became more known they have become such big snobs. They always think their opinions and viewpoints are the only ones that matter and just think they’re gods gift to horror podcasts. On top this, they have become way too snobby when it comes to pushing some kind of PC agenda. They’ll bash and diminish a movie just because it doesn’t fit into their box of modern decency because it said inappropriate words or jokes. I’ve heard episodes where they go on a whole tangents. No one wants to listen to an after school special on what offends you. We wanna hear horror talk. It’s fine to say that a film’s jokes or words wouldn’t pass today, but that’s it. Move on. No need to go on a tirade. There are plenty of better horror podcasts out there who aren’t full of themselves like these two and go on pathetic tangents on being politically correct and dragging films that don’t meet those standards.
