Grab your body glitter and avoid the shadow of the cross because we're talking Bill Gunn's Ganja & Hess (1973) for its 50th anniversary! Along for the ride is Brother Ghoulish himself, Ryan Kinney, who brings keen insight into the intersection between colonialism, vampirism and religion.

Plus: celebrating Marlene Clark's iconic performance, the film's visualization of black bodies, debating the villainy of the titular characters, Gunn's status as a black gay filmmaker in the 70s, and Trace's disgust over brushing your teeth in the bath.

Wipe that sherry off your tit and dust off those human husks in your attic because we're discussing Tony Scott's feature directorial debut: the 1983 lesbian vampire (and David Bowie!) movie The Hunger! Joining us for the conversation is Jess, one half of The Spinsters of Horror!

We aren't saying the word "vampire" (something something Egypt and aliens?), but who could care when the movie is such a vibe? We'll refute the claims of "style over substance," while marveling over the central performances of Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve.

Plus, David Bowie in old age makeup, making cigarettes look sexy, debating the male gaze and a lesson in serial monogamy and codependency.

Ready for uncomfortable laughter? Welcome to the world of Yorgos Lanthimos and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017).

Pulling from Euripides' Greek tragedy "Iphigenia in Aulis," this divisive film deftly balances pitch black, absurd comedy (children falling! Uncomfortable sex talks!) with horrifying moral dilemmas and dread (children dying!).

Plus: misunderstanding kink and incest, monotone line deliveries, female passivity and male narcissism, bad (?) singing, and all of the times we laughed and probably shouldn't have.

Pull that metal rod out of your gut and embrace your queer rage because we're discussing Stephen Dunn's phenomenal(ly queer) 2015 film Closet Monster. Joining us for the discussion is Joe's good friend Jonathan Hough!

Listen as we sing all the praises for Connor Jessup, who commands the screen in all of his scenes. We also discuss the film's handling of internalized homophobia via body horror and argue about which of Oscar's parents is worse,

Plus: Buffy the hamster, how to pronounce Xavier Dolan's name, gay tests, lots of personal testimonies and some ticker ideas for Fox News should they decide to listen to this episode.

Ready for an original creature feature with practical effects and surprisingly great character work? Allow us to introduce you to (maybe queer?) director Toby Wilkins' Splinter (2008).

We're big fans of this film, which boasts charismatic performances from its central trio, great creature work and smart use of its mostly single gas station location.

Plus: camping talk, the rom com cut, music video editing, and zombie walks.
