Horror Queers

Deliverance (1972)


Listen Later

Prep your canoes and don't anger the locals because we're discussing John Boorman's (in)famous 1972 thriller Deliverance and all the baggage that comes with it.

Join us as we take a look at a film whose reputation precedes it, from its male rape scene to its portrayal of rural mountain folk. There's plenty to unpack here!

Plus: Burt Reynolds' lamb bone, squealing pigs, raping landscapes, and the poignancy of watching a grown man weep.
