[Horror Queers Podcast] Trace and Joe Discuss ‘Lyle’, a Lesbian ‘Rosemary’s Baby’

February 25, 2019

The last few weeks of Horror Queers Podcast (we launched back in mid-January) have resulted in plenty of great discussion and hilarious shenanigans. In the last few weeks, we’ve tackled the campy fun of Swimfan (2002), the implied twincest in David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers (1988) and Jessica Rothe’s delightful performance in out-and-proud director Christopher Landon‘s 2017 horror-comedy slasher film Happy Death Day.

In the most recent episode, the duo becomes a threesome as we welcome Gaylords of Darkness co-host and Final Girl writer Stacie Ponder on the show to discuss Stewart Thorndike‘s ultra-low-budget lesbian Rosemary’s BabyLyle (2014). The paranoid thriller earns raves for lead Gaby Hoffman, inspires a laugh riot over pregnancy-related poop and offers no shortage of jokes at Trace’s exasperating love of Sleepless in Seattle.

Episode 8 – Lyle (2014) feat. Stacie Ponder

Just in time for the back half of Women in Horror Month, the guys are joined by the one and only Stacie Ponder (of Final Girl and Gaylords of Darkness Podcast fame) for a threeway discussion of Stewart Thorndike’s Lyle, aka “lesbian Rosemary’s Baby”.

Stacie educates the guys on the film’s connection to lesbian web series F to 7th, Trace gets increasing defensive about Sleepless in Seattle and Joe rails on Michael Che’s “performance” in the film. The group debates the best way to SPOILER tell your wife you’re planning to kill your second child, the efficacy of Checkov’s Baby Pool Straps and lays to rest that eternal question: do you poop when you give birth?

Plus: with more hosts comes double the inane games as Joe forces both Stacie and Trace to prove their creative mettle.


Cross out Lyle!

Coming up Wednesday: we continue celebrating Women in Horror Month with an episode on Sophia Takal’s cutthroat feminist Hollywood thriller, Always Shine. Never heard of it? Well, it’s available to stream for free if you have Amazon Prime, so give it a watch before Wednesday!
