If you haven’t been keeping up with the Horror Queers Podcast these last few weeks, you’ve been missing out! Since we launched back in mid-January, we’ve had the pleasure of discussing the Billy/Stu (b)romance Scream (1996), homophobia in Hostel (2005), the cultural renaissance of Jennifer’s Body (2009), the campy fun of Swimfan (2002) and the implied twincest in David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers (1988).

In the latest episode, we’re tackling out-and-proud director Christopher Landon‘s 2017 horror-comedy slasher film Happy Death Day and its surprising critical & commercial success. Also on the docket? Tree’s (Jessica Rothe) likability, queer inclusion in a major studio horror film and our porn-watching habits!

Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to get a new episode every Wednesday. You can subscribe on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, SoundCloud, TuneIn, Libsyn and RSS.

Episode 7 – Happy Death Day (2017)

Join Joe and Trace as they relive Happy Death Day, then die.

Join Joe and Trace as they relive Happy Death Day, discuss why Jessica Rothe is so great, then die.

Join Joe and Trace as they relive Happy Death Day, discuss why Jessica Rothe is so great, review “out” director Chris Landon’s career, then die.

Ok, you get the idea. The guys talk about 2017’s fun slasher entry, Joe tries not to laugh over “Baby Face” and Trace uses every opportunity to use Danielle’s acerbic dialogue.

Plus: this week’s inane game cribs from the wonderful Kill By Kill Podcast to investigate which of Tree’s many, many deaths the boys would prefer to go out on.

Cross out Happy Death Day! Coming up Wednesday: we get a late start to celebrating Women in Horror Month with an episode on Stewart Thorndike’s lesbian Rosemary’s Baby-esque film Lyle. Never heard of it? We hadn’t either! But it’s available to stream for free if you have Amazon Prime and it’s only 65 minutes long, so give it a watch before Wednesday!
