    Episode 73: Christmas with the Kranks and Queer Christmas Representation

    Episode 73: Christmas with the Kranks and Queer Christmas Representation

    To kick off the holiday season, we watched the compulsively watchable "classic," Christmas with the Kranks, where we uncover the TRUE villain of the movie (We begin this discussion at the 1 hr and 2 minute time stamp). Before that, we talk about what we've been watching to get into the holiday spirit, as well as discuss how we feel about the queer representation in Hallmark Christmas movies after watching The Holiday Sitter.

    Episode 72: Halloween Ends

    After losing an episode to remote recording technical difficulties, we're finally back to cover the finale of the Laurie Strode Halloween saga.

    Episode 70: Surprise Holiday Bonus!

    Episode 70: Surprise Holiday Bonus!

    We couldn't let the holiday season go by without gifting everyone with a little unplanned bonus episode. We catch up on everything we've been watching since wrapping up production on a film, and go in depth into all our annual favorite Christmas watches including Home Alone, Seeds, Black Christmas, and John's thoughts on Netflix's new gay rom-com, Single All the Way. Finally, we talk about the unofficial Black Christmas fan film sequel, It's Me Billy, now streaming on youtube!

    Episode 69: Halloween Kills and Re-Ranking the Series

    Episode 69: Halloween Kills and Re-Ranking the Series

    We couldn't let spooky season pass without churning out an epic Halloween episode! We went into Halloween Kills wanting to love it, and well... we had some thoughts. Immediately following our Halloween Kills review, we re-rank all the entries in the series. But first, we talk about what we've been watching. John dived into more recent horror fare like There's Someone Inside Your House and the Chucky TV series, and Spencer went vintage with a crop of Made-for-TV "classics" like Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby and Day of Judgement.
     
    The Halloween Kills Discussion begins at the 42 minute mark!

    Episode 68: Pride 2021 - Butcher, Backer, Nightmare Maker

    Episode 68: Pride 2021 - Butcher, Backer, Nightmare Maker

    As Pride month comes to a close, we're going out with one of the most subversive and possibly progressive (?) horror movies of the 1980s. Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker takes the psycho-biddy subgenre, throws in a dash of 80s slasher, and goes overboard with incest and homosexuality to create one hell of a lost gem of a movie. Also, we discuss our thoughts the commercialization of Pride in general in quite the old man rant.
