Happy Pride Month, y'all! This will be our 3rd year of Queer Horror coverage, as we covered the CHUCKY franchise in 2020 and in 2021 got a little more personal with our guests' picks. This year looks to be a critical look at a few campier titles, starting with the 00s fever dream that is The Covenant.

The boys discuss how initially criticized for queer-baiting (and being a not good movie lol), the film has somewhat been re-claimed by queer horror fans over the years for its ridiculous camp and homoeroticism. Do Garrett & DeVaughn perhaps give the movie too much credit with DeVaughn's queer theory? Take a hit and pass that spooky shit!

CURSE & CULT OF CHUCKY (2013/2017), CHILD'S PLAY (2019) // SCC #6

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 00:00:00 -0500

On this week's super-stuffed episode of the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club, it's tine to finish up the Chuck series covering Curse & Cult of Chucky, as well as touch on Child's Play (2019). Lots to talk about because not only are Curse & Cult two of my favorites, but after 8 movies I think I've pinpointed the formula to this series. What makes a Chucky movie work, what doesn't, and Don Mancini's continual growth as a filmmaker. Even though I'm wrapping up coverage on the Chucky franchise (for now), he will always be my friend til the end!

New episodes every Tuesday! Next week: after a 3 week franchise run, time to relax with some fun in the sun...well, if you think cannibal body-builders are fun. I'm talkin The Bad Batch, baby!

Happy Pride Month from the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club, where here on episode 5 we're celebrating by continuing coverage on the Chucky franchise.

We have a great conversation about the series' tonal shift, Seed's depiction of gender dysphoria, and Don Mancini's importance to the queer community of horror. Take a hit of that spooky shit and press play!

THE NEON DEMON (2016) & STARRY EYES (2014) // Pilot Episode

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 00:00:00 -0500

Since the first season, we have done full lengh episodes on both of these films including Garrett. Highly recommend listening to those, much more in-depth than this one!

The ritual was a success, he has risen! Welcome to the first episode of the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club. For this pilot episode, I break down what the podcast is all about and a little about myself. I chose 2 movies that somewhat represent my taste in horror movies. The Neon Demon and Starry Eyes both take on themes of fame, vanity, and ambition; using stunning, visceral images and hypnotic scores to paint a dangerous, alluring picture of what it's like for women in the film industry. I talk about these films while re-lighting my joint 50 times, doing Frenchie ASMR, drinking lots of water, and trying to get my podcast groove back. This pilot is a chaotic hot mess, like me!
