Horror Queers

Come on down to the Dreamland Theater because we're turning a trio of turkeys into a memorable moviegoing feast with director Mark Herrier's 1991 slasher Popcorn.
Starring a bunch of horror royalty and featuring three movies-within-a-movie, this cult title is a fun slice of entertainment with some great mask FX!
Plus: queer actor Tom Villard, a himbo with head injuries, remake potential, and debate about whether the film is meta or not.

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.
