Heading into Hollywood with Don Mancini’s Seed of Chucky, the gloriously camp fifth entry in the Child’s Play series, starring Jennifer Tilly, Brad Dourif, Billy Boyd, and John Waters.

We’re talking killer dolls, queer family, gender identity, celebrity satire, and the moment Chucky stopped pretending he was ever meant to be taken seriously.

Film Club this week looks at the homegrown Aussie cult classic Stephan Elliott's Priscilla, Queen of the Desert starring Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, and Guy Pearce.

CORRECTION: I say "uncredited woman as woman running" but I found the actress and character after recording, it's Rebel Penfold-Russell as Logowoman. I also say 1992 a few times instead of 1994.

The podcast is still finding it's footing while discussing this weeks film club movie, which is Jamie Babbit's 1999 "But I'm A Cheerleader", so don't send me off to True Horizon's if you find everything a bit messy.

A new podcast based on an old YouTube channel. This first episode is mainly a chat about what Film Gayze used to be, why I’m bringing it back as a podcast, and where I want to take things next. Plus, some thoughts on Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma at the end.
