Horror Queers

Grab those dice, Sonny Jim! Roll with the punches and and pray they read 5 or 8 because we're talking Joe Johnston's original gateway horror creature feature Jumanji (1995) for its 30th anniversary, or as it could also be called: 'Daddy Issues: The Movie'.Join us as we go all in on the film that made Trace a fan of creature features to begin with. From its dark tone (especially when compared to the newer Jumanji films) to its scary imagery (will anything be more terrifying that watching little Alan Parrish get sucked into the game?), they just don't make kids' movies like this anymore!Plus, animatronics vs. CGI, the "cruel torture" subjected to actor Bradley Pierce during the production, our many, many issues with the ending, and why the film needs more Bebe Neuwirth.Questions?

Touch that alien rock and film yourself doing *everything* because we are talking about Josh Trank's superhero (villain?) film, Chronicle (2012).This found footage film features strong performances by Dane DeHaan and a charismatic Michael B. Jordan, as well as a clever explanation for the usual "why/how are they filming everything" issue.    Plus: shitty teen boys, aborted sequels, and Trace's worst performance on a game to date!Questions?

In this episode, we chat with writer/director Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me) about his feature directorial debut: the R-rated gateway horror film Dust Bunny. Topics include our bafflement at that R rating, discovering the origins of the project and diving into Fuller's maximalist style (which he attributes to his "untethered f****try").But wait! There's more! We also get updates on his planned fourth season of Hannibal(!!!) and his planned third season of Pushing Daisies(!!!!!!!!!!!).Questions? Comments? Snark?

Get ready for a bunch of all-star cameos (Christopher Walken! Jeff Goldblum! Beverly D'Angelo! John Carradine! Ava Gardner!) and one truly bonkers climax because we're discussing Michael Winner's 1977 chiller The Sentinel!Join us as we go all in on this messy little film, albeit one with a lot of great ideas. It's one of the rare times you'll hear us say that a movie is too short, because it seems like there are full scenes missing from this thing. Still, it's got some great effects (that nose slice!), courtesy of industry vet Dick Smith (The Exorcist). Plus: defining "tasteful" masturbation, trying to figure out the logistics behind the Catholic church's grand master plan and the bizarre lack of consent it entails, and Trace not only learning what a sentinel is, but majorly flubbing Joe's game.Questions?
