“For me, the It Slays Podcast used to be "must listen" every time it was released. I loved listening at work and getting unique takes on such a wide variety if films that many other podcasts ignore or just are not smart enough to review. All this came to an end with the July 30, 2022 review of Sleepaway Camp. I enjoy the film and the group's trashing of it is NOT the point. I love a good debate and welcome differences of opinion. I don't need to agree with an opinion to enjoy a review. My problem is that much of the review was driven by a discussion about diversity, marginalization and downright abuse towards certain segments of society - all problems that I admit are part of the film (no disagreement here). However, what started as a review and discussion devolved into a lecture from Willow Catelyn Maclay. Again, no problem, their viewpoint and frame of reference is valid on all levels. But I take issue with being told that their objection to the film is based largely on transphobia, lack of inclusivity, and overall institutional bias only to have the word "hillbilly" (in it pejorative context) roll off their tongue like they use the expression everyday. I welcome differing opinions, but I won't abide a hypocrite. That was and will be the last episode I ever listen to.”Read full review »
