The commentary vis-a-vis child abuse and abusive mothers is heinous.

Came across these guys when looking to listen to someone talk about their love of horror films endlessly as much as I do! Love how their personalities work together and both Trace and Joe always make me laugh. They have brilliant guests on too and have some thought provoking and interesting...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

I love film history and I love these guys and their excellent guests. Have faithfully listened since the beginning and I look forward to this podcast every week.

The queer readings can be a wild fun stretch but that’s what’s great about cinema people find their own readings. Hearing two scholars talk about horrors with so much depth and love of the genre is *chefs kiss*. You don’t need to have the same readings of movies to listen to the podcast just...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

No
As a gay man I find the word Queer offensive.

How many times can you quote a line from a movie and then — misquote it?
iruvruraggy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/24
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...Read full review »

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.

I wanted to start this by saying, I hardly ever listen to podcasts, but ever since I first watched Boys In The Trees, I haven’t been able to get the film out of my head. From the characters to the aesthetic and everything in between, the film really resonated with me. But, it also left me with...Read full review »

A fantastic examination of horror films through a queer lens mixed with humor and insight of longtime genre fans and critics. The show benefits from their willingness to voice their true feelings and insights instead of relying on what they think their audience would want to hear. It’s hard to...Read full review »

I look forward to every episode. Even if I haven’t seen the movie, I get a lot of out the episode, and the hosts are delightful.

The mishandling of the dead girl episode was so egregious that I’m forced to stop listening.
Grabbishark via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/23
Is this a podcast by first year film students? They’re basically reading the Wikipedia pages on the movies, with no real valuable insight or commentary provided. And they don’t even have all their facts together either. What a shame.
simondeldesierto via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/23
Long time listener, first time commenter here to say THANK YOU for covering two of my top five favorite films ever: Bound and A Simple Favor!!! Having seen both of these at least a dozen times each, I thought there was nothing new to think or learn about them, and was delighted to be proven wrong...Read full review »

Hosts Joe and Trace take us on Horror themed rides that I never want to end. Being non-straight can be a real buzz kill, but this podcast takes that potential ennui and bakes it into a Delicious Moribund Fruit Cake. I appreciate the different perspectives offered; very frequently...Read full review »

You guys are amazing… conversation about horror is the best, but these guys find wonderful readings of some of my favorite films that I would NEVER find on my own. Now I get my favorites paired with inspired and researched perspectives? Thank you guys; Trace we have lived so many of the same...Read full review »

I’ve never listened to podcasts before I found Horror Queers by accidentally looking at other things my phone could offer. I absolutely love these guys. It’s an incredibly well produced podcast that doesn’t amble along like others that I have stumbled into. It’s structured so I know what I’m...Read full review »

Love the hosts, their perspectives, and personalities! Such a fun listen for those that love horror.
Jon08C via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/23
Really interesting hearing reviewers from outside Australia critique this movie. I found it odd though that it is beginning of the Christmas holidays yet there’s an ANZAC celebration scene in Yabba. ANZAC day is April 25th. So is time being distorted here, fluid? And yes apart from the coast...Read full review »

As a horror fan and a member of the LGBTQ+ I love this podcast, Trace and Joe are amazing and fun to listen to, Trace cracks me up with his brash, unfiltered self and Joe is such a great camp vibe that just makes me smile. They have some fabulous guests and always talk about a film/show honestly...Read full review »

Always a delightful listen, and now “going to the gun range” has a whole new meaning.
delarme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/23
Idk i like when u guys do the older horror movies like 80s n b4. The new ones r horrible and lack originality, and it seems like u guys just do newer movies n its pretty disappointing buttt i do enjoy your podcast.

If your a horror fan, this is for you !
jcarlyleared via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/01/23
This is my comfort podcast, in part because horror movies are a comfort genre for me and in part because the hosts are so pleasant and are clear lovers of and knowledgeable about the genre too. I really love when they cover a film I haven’t seen yet— like Tremors or The Lighthouse— and persuade...Read full review »

I’m a newcomer here but am absolutely loving this pod, and digging through past eps. I love that they can tackle serious issues with poise but also make me laugh like crazy. Recommended!

I need a constant stream to get through work.
Gwarrrr307 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/22
Terrible podcast. No research. Boring. And they hate redheads. Stop using slurs against people. You’d think gay people would be kinder towards everyone. They are not. It’s not okay to say red headed stepchild. I would never say gay stepchild. Screw these hate filled ignorant people. Don’t support...Read full review »

These guys are awesome .love their personality's . I just wish they were a little older sometimes to understand what was happening with society and some of the older movies they critique l happen to be in my mid 50s and I just don’t think they understand what was happening before there...Read full review »

I love Joe and Trace! They’ve introduced me to some great films that I know I would’ve never checked out on my own. The conversations are smart , fun and they usually have great guests.
joevece via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/22
The best gay horror podcast around. Period. I would like more recent films on the main feed tho. No shade 😭❤️

It’a my go to horror podcast - I am obsessed with Joe’s takes on some of my old guilty pleasure films.

Leonerd_725 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/22
This one was a real struggle for me. Trace is funny and charming but Joe makes it hard for me to listen anymore. He’s got the shrill voic and thinks everything is problematic to the point of being a killjoy. I get the vibe that he hates himself for being cis and white and projects it onto all his...Read full review »

I’m not much of a horror person (though I LOVE Sleepaway Camp and Hello Mary Lou Prom Night 2) so when I listen to this pod, it’s usually stuff like Drop Dead Gorgeous, Roger Rabbit, Female Trouble, etc Each episode engages in interesting discourse and gives me newfound appreciation for the...Read full review »

One of the best to ever do it! Joe
iheargood via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/22
I have listened to many episodes but I cannot do it anymore. This is a queer horror podcast that only reflects white, gay views and it’s pretty taxing. It rarely includes race or gender considerations from a insightful viewpoint and the host’s interrupt each other and all their guests!! It’s...Read full review »
TinyTim68! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/22

I discovered this show a few months ago and it saved me during my last few weeks of work.

Trace and Joe have great chemistry together and their love of horror movies really shows. The two hosts really feed off each other and it makes for a very entertaining podcast. Check it out.

You two have become the movie fan friends I didn’t know I needed! Catching up with all past episodes and loving every second…thank you both! 10s across the board, must follow/listen for all movie trivia lovers! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Kman7856 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/18/22
None of my friends ever want to talk endlessly about Horror movies which is why I love these two. Trace & Joe cover all the movies I adore and even introduced me to some I haven’t seen. If your a fan of John Waters you have to hear the episode about the movie “Female Trouble”. That’s my...Read full review »

I discovered this podcast on, of all places, Instagram. I was searching for a DDG clip I could use on my story when I saw their post of the dance scene. DDG is my favorite 4th of July movie as well as one of my favorite movies in general (not sure what that says about me…) so of course I had to...Read full review »

Love the podcast and these guys so much and am a patreon member. I just wish Joe was as hard on other races as he is on white people though.
