Horror Queers

Pack your episode guide and look out for Mr. Melancholy because we're hunkering down for a Saturday night viewing of The Pink Opaque in Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow! Tagging in for the conversation are former guests Robyn Adams and Ari Drew, who provide some much-needed musical expertise.

Join us as we go all in on this abstract little film that packs one hell of an emotional wallop. From its trans allegory to its '90s nostalgia, there's a lot to unpack here!

**Please note the episode was recorded before Jack Haven changed their name**

Break out that telephoto lens because we are spying on the neighbors with Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 masterpiece, Rear Window.

Part technical exercise (a la Rope), part treatise on marriage and gender roles, the film finds Jimmy Stewart debating Grace Kelly in between trying to solve a potential murder across the courtyard.

Plus: remakes (both official and not); immaculate wardrobes; Raymond Burr's real life queerness; and debate about who "wins" at film's end

Watch out for "ister gay" (oof), take some Gas-X and bite our bags because we're talking Lawrence Kasdan's baffling 2003 adaptation of Stephen King's equally baffling novel Dreamcatcher.

Join us as we go all in on the farty farty aliens populating this hilarious misfire that often feels like a bad Kevin Smith script. It's a film filled with characters who get a single defining trait (if they're lucky) played by respectable actors who are here for the paycheck (looking at you, Morgan Freeman).

Plus: blown-out assholes, using guns as telephones, pitying poor Donnie Wahlberg, and wondering why the hell this movie is called Dreamcatcher.
