Chucky Queers: S03E05 "Death Becomes Her"
Chucky returns for Part 2 of S03 and while we're unsure what the title "Death Becomes Her" refers to, we like this as a reintroduction.
There's a bit of Tilly, some cherry popping and some eye gouging.
Plus: is First Lady Charlotte gonna fuck Pryce? Will Henry team up with Caroline? And will Devon or Grant make it to S04?

Try not to wolf out because we're talking about John Landis' classic, An American Werewolf in London (1981). Backpacking along with us is Xero Gravity, who went on a werewolf binge and has recommendations!
Up for discussion: Alex's underdeveloped character, urban set pieces, dirty movie theaters, and British rural horror.

Customer Reviews
One of my favorites!
It’s a great podcast. The hosts have great personalities and keep the whole show interesting. They give you plenty of context and background about the movie so you can have a greater appreciation for it. I love learning more about the movie and the behind the scenes info.
They discuss a lot of different types of horror movies so there’s great variety. They often bring in guests who add to the quality of the show, adding new perspectives to theirs. I love hearing them discuss their ideas and opinions of the movie, and learning more about favorite movies and new ones.
They take you through the movie and discuss it piece by piece, pointing out the queer elements, the interesting plot points, and the effect of a scene.
Give it a listen!
Don’t listen to The Brood episode
The commentary vis-a-vis child abuse and abusive mothers is heinous.
Part of my week
I was kinda slow to podcasts - and so many factors contributed to my resistance - tone, content, POV, personalities, subject. But HQ is the only one that delivers the whole shebang for me. And I can’t get enough. Most the time, I don’t even watch the movies - their assessment and analysis is enough for me. Trace and Joe get on so well despite being very different. Trace offsets Joe’s occasional yet lovable snootiness, and Joe holds Trace accountable when he gets too “it’s fine” (lovable) Americanly privileged. The podcast is faultless to me - except for the occasional 1946 random choice that I kinda love at the same time.
