On this special bonus episode we break down Queens of the Dead (2025), Tina Romero’s vibrant, queer twist on the zombie genre. Set during a Brooklyn drag party turned undead apocalypse, the film blends camp, chaos, and heartfelt social commentary. Tina, daughter of horror legend George A. Romero,  takes up her father’s mantle while carving her own path, infusing the classic zombie formula with drag culture, inclusivity, and a fierce sense of identity. We discuss how Queens of the Dead celebrates legacy, reinvention, and the power of community even at the end of the world.

On today’s episode, we’re discussing The Conjuring, the 2013 supernatural thriller that redefined modern horror. Directed by James Wan, the film follows real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they confront a dark presence haunting a family farmhouse in Rhode Island. We’ll explore the film’s spine-tingling atmosphere, its roots in true events, and what it means to believe in the unknown.
