Horror Queers

Look out the "window" and invite all the alters to the party because we're discussing M. Night Shyamalan's hugely successful but somewhat controversial 2016 thriller Split!
Join us as we parse through the film's questionable handling of dissociative identity disorder and sexual assault, while lauding Shyamalan's creative return to form and James McAvoy's stellar performance. 
Plus: Wheel of Fortune tactics, debating whether or not Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley) is a good therapist and discussing the Unbreakable (and Glass) of it all.

Gather your closest group of friends and get ready to head to the Amazon rainforest because we're discussing Tom Gormican's (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) 2025 reboot of Anaconda. Unfortunately, our anacondas don't want none of this, hun.
Join us as we try to figure out who thought this was a good idea (though judging by the box office numbers, the gamble seems to have paid off). Its reliance on juvenile humor, subpar thrills in the snake attack department and complete lack of a meaningful plot make this one big misfire for us.

Run across that causeway because we're opening the Patreon vault and diving head first into Danny Boyle's unexpectedly weird 28 Years Later (2025). It's Act I of a planned trilogy, but does it stand on its own?
Join us as we discuss the Brexit allegory, lament the predictable zombie fare and laud the emotional gut punch of the third act. Also: take a shot every time we say "maybe we'll find out in the sequel(s)."
Plus, prosthetic penises, Predator-like decapitations, Ralph Fiennes' boney art installation and addressing the Jimmy Savile of it all.

We're kicking off a new year with Alex Garland's feature directorial debut, Ex Machina (2014). Joining us for the ride is Garland mega-fan Miss Sinclair from Talk Movie To Me podcast.
This prescient film has aged incredibly well: from its portrayal of an entitled tech billionaire to its naive-meets-incel "white knight" protagonist to questions about the ethics of AI. It's a film filled with questions, which has us posing a number of our own!
Plus: Oscar-winning FX, Ava's "Alicia Vikander drag", Joe's queer cuckolding read, and why we're planning a trip to Norway
