Fear the Talking Queers

Our very first episode was intended to focus on the "Scream" franchise; but with the current climate our nation is in, we would much rather celebrate some of our favorite artists who exude black excellence.  We highlight the stellar horror doc: "Horror Noire-A History of Black Horror."  Available to stream on Shudder.  This documentary explores the contributions of black artists to the horror genre and exposes the negative propaganda cinema publishes in regards to black characters.  We also have a message from our friend Drew who expresses the terrible loss of his brother due to police brutality.  We also share the powerful speech given by Desiree Barnes in regards to protesting and the importance of voting.  We need to stand together to let everyone know BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Given the current climate our nation is in, we felt it best to dedicate our first episode to our favorite artists who exude black excellence and inspire us!  We also have a message from our dear friend Drew who shares his family's personal battle with having lost his brother to police brutality.  And we highlight the powerful words of Desiree Barnes whose message is to protest responsibly and the importance of voting!  We also discuss the amazing documentary written by Danielle Burrows & Ashlee Blackwell and directed by Xavier Neal-Burgin: "Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror," which highlights black horror films and the contribution of black artists to the horror genre; but also provides an in-depth look at the harmful propaganda Hollywood promotes against people of color using unfair and untrue tropes and caricatures.
