This is queer fandom erasure!

Take your Imodium and maintain a steady pace because we are embarking on the adaptation of Stephen King...er...Richard Bachman's THE LONG WALK (2025). Adapted by Strange Darling's JT Mollner and expertly directed by Francis Lawrence, Joe and Trace have different appreciations of the film.

Even if you say you don’t want it, you know you’re gonna watch it

A sneak peek at my recommendation on this week’s @crimeseenpod.bsky.social episode covering #BeautyAndTheBester Love the @horrorqueers.bsky.social and The Birds episode is a scorcher

FYI (re: one of the best films of the year)

Tomorrow on Patreon: just keep walking. We're tackling the latest King adaptation with Francis Lawrence's take on THE LONG WALK.

Adjust your watch list accordingly…

Your weekend homework: hit the concrete because we're embarking on THE LONG WALK Tuesday on a new Patreon minisode.

😬😬😬

Today on Patreon: #AlienEarth's penultimate episode, "Emergence", is mostly a table-setting episode for next week's finale, and while it's certainly not a bad episode of television, it is our least favorite of the season so far (it's also the shortest episode of the season so far).

Tomorrow on the Requel Tier: hide the body because it's the penultimate episode of ALIEN: EARTH and something is emerging...

Alma! We're covering another Hitchcock film with 1963's #TheBirds. It's Hitch, so prepare to get technical with @tracedthurman.bsky.social's production history and thanks to another essay from It Came From the Closet, @joelipsett.bsky.social has a compulsory Melanie & Annie queer reading on deck.

Tomorrow on the Main Feed: mind your head and stay away from Bodega Bay because one extreme prank may just land you in Hitchcock's THE BIRDS (1963).

We didn’t know this had a March date originally, but Oct probably makes more sense!

Today on Patreon: Don't say balaclava because we are talking about Jeff Wadlow's directorial debut, Cry_Wolf (2005) for its 20th anniversary. Plus: debate about "the twist", praising Lindy Booth, celebrating out and proud lead Julian Morris, and comparisons to April Fool's Day and Urban Legend.

Tomorrow on Patreon: if you want to win at Liar, you need to remember the cardinal rules. Our full length discussion of CRY_WOLF drops tomorrow.

This is gonna be super queer, isn’t it?

Listening to @horrorqueers.bsky.social and @thisendsatprom.bsky.social has inspired me to catch up on movies I've missed along the way, as well as revisit a lot of old favorites over the last few months. Highly recommend their main feeds and Patreon eps. Lots of great content and suggestions!

Your weekend homework: in honor of its 20th anniversary, brainstorm a campus serial killer and watch it come to life. We're discussing 2005's CRY_WOLF on Tuesday's brand new Patreon episode.

Queer gateway horror!

"John Waters' trashterpiece is just as hilarious today as it was almost 50 years ago. Just bring your pearls with you in case you need to clutch them." – @tracedthurman.bsky.social, Horror Queers Podcast FEMALE TROUBLE is showing Fri/Sat at midnight!

Today on Patreon: Don't prop open the door because we're continuing our deep dive into Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth with episode 6 "The Fly" Plus: Dame Sylvia enters her villain era, Boy Kavalier's alternative career on Only Fans, and an extremely bitchy elevator conversation between Morrow and Kirsh

Tomorrow on the Requel tier: we're back at Neverland for ALIEN: EARTH episode 6 that proves the hybrids are not doing so welll

Hop on your motorcycle, avoid that "child" in the road and slide to a stop because we're discussing Katsuhiro Otomo's seminal anime #Akira (1988)!

Tomorrow on the Main Feed: Prepare for extreme body horror, homoeroticism and possibly the greatest anime of all time with a discussion of AKIRA (1988).

There are two new AMITYVILLE films in development?!

Grab your crucifix and prep the pancakes because we're talking #TheConjuringLastRites (2025), the fourth and "final" mainline entry in The Conjuring Universe. Plus: emotional family beats, boffo B.O, Amityville-like mirrors, and why we are absolutely getting The Conjuring Part V: A New Beginning

Tomorrow on Patreon: secure that mirror and keep an eye on Judy because we are wrapping up Ed and Lorraine's The Conjuring journey with Last Rites.

We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of queer director João Pedro Rodrigues' controversial erotic drama O FANTASMA (2000), a strange (and occasionally very, very hot) film that left us both perplexed and fascinated.

Your weekend homework: RSVP to the wedding because Tuesday on Patreon we're wrapping up Ed and Lorraine's journey with THE CONJURING: LAST RITES.

Did @tracedthurman.bsky.social change his mind about the film’s notorious twist ending? Listen to find out!

Today on Patreon: In the aptly titled "In Space, No One...", #alienearth gives writer/director Noah Hawley to flex his horror muscles in this mini-Alien movie. We get the obligatory flashback episode this week as we revisit the crew of the USCSS Maginot during their ill-fated journey back to Earth.

Tabitha! Kill them kids!

Tomorrow on the Requel tier: we're blasting off into space for a special bottle episode on the Maginot as our coverage of ALIEN: EARTH continues.

For Episode 350 (!) we decided we wanted a party, so we're headed south of the border to hang out at the Titty Twister with the Gecko brothers in Robert Rodriguez's #FromDuskTillDawn (1996).
