  • Fascination (1979)
    Jul 9 2025

    Show your tits and grab that scythe because we're talking our very first Jean Rollin text: 1979's Fascination.

    The lesbian vampire film is gorgeous and dreamy with several subversive twists, including the fact that this is not actually a vampire movie.

    Plus: women in control, a truly shitty man, sheer veils, connections to porn and struggling with the feminist/class readings.

  • Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) feat. Mike Muncer
    Jun 25 2025

    Stick your fingers in the ooze and prep your one-liner because we are "celebrating" the 30th anniversary of a Trace fave with Bryan Spicer's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995).

    Piloting the Falcon Zord alongside us is The Evolution of Horror's Mike Muncer, who was also a fan of the show as a kid.

    Plus: a troubled production, a homophobic crew, Arne Olsen's terrible script, 90s CGI, a queer-coded villain and...why is Joe putting Zordon on a watchlist?

  • 28 Days Later (2002)
    Jun 18 2025

    Stash that Terry's Chocolate Orange and cover your damn eyes because we're discussing Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later just in time for its 23-years-later sequel!

    Join us as we laud the film that popularized fast-moving zombies (yes, yes, we know they're "the infected") and kickstarted the sub-genre's resurgence in the aughts.

    Plus: discussions of the film's aesthetic, Alex Garland's self-proclaimed "derivative script," male full frontal nudity, apocalyptic red flags, and *that* freeze frame.

  • Batman Forever (1995) feat. Kill By Kill
    Jun 11 2025

    Black leather or green unitard? Whatever your costume of choice, we're wearing it in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever (1995).

    Along for the ride are returning champions Kill By Kill, who help us to unpack all of the neon question marks we have about the film, including Two Face's slim backstory, the lack of Sugar and Spice, and whatever the hell Chris O'Donnell is doing.

    Plus: high praise for Carrey, plugs for The Cable Guy, horny Dr. Chase, and the easiest Trolley Problem in cinematic history!

  • Micro Queers: We Are Still Here (2015)
    Jun 5 2025

    We're celebrating the 10th anniversary of queer director Ted Geoghegan's feature debut, We Are Still Here (2015).

    This is a quiet indie film with some serious star power (Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden, Monte Markham, and Lisa Marie?!), as well as great FX. But a decade later, it's the quiet depiction of grief that we appreciate a great deal more.
