Get ready for a world of wet because we're continuing our month of erotic thrillers with a look at the Wachowski sisters' 1996 ovinal queer classic Bound! Tagging in for the conversation is the founder of Salem Horror Fest: Kay Lynch!

Join us as we kick things off with a brief discussion on the differences between noir and neo-noir before going all in on the casting drama that nearly cost us Jennifer Tilly! Then it's all (and we mean all) fair game as we analyze this masterpiece of queer cinema.

Plus: plenty of frank sexual conversations, femme tops, threatened masculinity, overhead shots galore, and all the praise for Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon's lead performances. And remember: Don't force the snake. Slow and easy does it.
