Queen of the Damned (2002)
Practice your Egyptian accent and bare that mid-drift because we are talking the troubled "adaptation" of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned (2002). Directed by Australian Michael Rymer, this one was doomed by the suits before it was even greenlit (which happened AFTER all of the songs were written by Korn frontman Jonathan Davis). It's a bit of a clusterfuck. Plus: praising everything Aaliyah (RIP); critiquing everything Stuart Townsend (aside from his abs and leather pants); a soft queer reading of Marius; and bemoaning boring protagonist/audience surrogate JESSE.

Theater of Blood (1973)
Brush up on your Shakespeare and protect those poodles because we're covering our very first Vincent Price film in Douglas Hickox's horror comedy Theater of Blood (1973), a personal favorite of both Price and Diana Rigg. Join us as we go all in on this somewhat episodic (but also educational!) proto-slasher, wondering if we're supposed to know that's Diana Rigg in hippie drag, and cackling at some of these murder set pieces. Plus, "Handsy Dickman," narcissistic gravestones, antisemitic stage makeup, and the ultimate debate: is it theatER or theatRE? C/W: Attempted suicide, off-screen dog murder. Questions? Comments?

Interview: Ginger Snaps' Katherine Isabelle, Emily Perkins and John Fawcett
We sat down to interview Ginger Snaps director John Fawcett and stars Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins in celebration of the film's 25th anniversary and recent 4K release from Lionsgate. Up for discussion: the enduring appeal of the film, why it speaks to queer audiences, how the sequels came to be, and the possibility of a television show (Ginger Snaps: Bailey Downs anyone?)

Micro Queers: The Retreat (2021)
In honor of its fifth anniversary, we're chatting Canadian thriller The Retreat (2021), which pits a lesbian couple against homophobes at an isolated cabin in the woods. Screenwriter Alyson Richards and director Pat Mills' survival horror adds a queer element to a familiar premise, which doesn't entirely make the film stand out. Still, it's a good opportunity for Joe to revisit a film he had issues with. Plus: good gore; an untapped backstory for Renee (Tommie-Amber Pirie), and comparisons to other recent queer horror titles.

The Fan (1981) feat. Michael Varrati
Stay out of the pool and work on your singing because we're talking Edward Bianchi's The Fan (1981) starring Grand Dame Lauren Bacall and a twinky Michael Biehn. Joining us for the discussion is returning guest Michael Varrati, who dubs the film "parasocial peril" and praises Bacall's emotionally vulnerable performance as aging starlet Sally Ross. Look for adaptation questions about Bob Randall's pulpy source material; critiquing James Garner's autobiography; and highlighting the subway stalking and pool slicing sequences. Plus: the queer coding of Douglas Breen; the film's uneasy place in (horror) history; and trying to figure out the plot of in-movie musical Never Say Never. >Support Michael's queer horror comic on Kickstarter here >Our Bloody Disgusting editorial: “Stanning” Goes Too Far in ‘The Fan’ Questions?

The Poseidon Adventure (1972) feat. Stacie Ponder
Climb that metallic Christmas tree and follow that renegade reverend because we're going to Hell (upside down!) in Irwin Allen's production of Ronald Neame's The Poseidon Adventure (1972)! Tagging in for the conversation is horror blogger and Final Girl After Dark podcast host Stacie Ponder. Join us as we tackle a movie filled with Academy Award winners both in front of and behind the camera. We laud its era-defining (and Oscar-winning) special effects, while sobbing over all things Shelley Winters. No one phones it in in this disasterpiece from Master of Disaster Irwin Allen. Plus: "My Linda!", the shocking adaptation change made to Paul Gallico's 1969 source novel, a semi-positive portrayal of sex work in a '70s film and emphasizing the importance of grieving dead characters in a disaster movie.
