I Only Date Monsters

It's Queer Lust Month and we're offically starting it off right with a good long talk about history's embodiement of strong lesbian energy: Witches. Is Mrs. Frizzle a witch or a time lady? Is worldbuilding sometimes bad? Who are the formative witches of our lives? Listen to find out answers to these questions and also a deconstruction of anti-capitalistic autonomy in proto-capitalist society.

We're late but we're back with some iconic queer supervillains. We talk about storylines about recovering from abuse, learning to be better through better relationships, and we try very hard to not talk about the Batman of it all (we fail a little). Then Hayden has some notes on It Chapter 2.

We're coming at you atomic hot this week with some big lizard energy. Lu and Hayden talk about language for a bit before looking at the original Japanese monster movie: Godzilla. We talk about in your face metaphor, weapons of mass destruction, and what exactly is "macro." The Lu talks about Hypnospace Outlaw and why the 90s were a good time for the internet.

This week we sit down to talk about orcs. How are they so tragic? Why are they so sexy? Where can I find the orc of my dreams? We also share how orcs made our friendship (and by extension this show) possible. Then it's time for some more Very Weird News about baby werewolves.

We're back this week to gush over the often overlooked 2010 animated film Megamind. We talk about how well this film has aged, what it looks like to be a kidnapping victim with agency, and how it feels to think you belong in the corner. Then Lu shares his thoughts on the best hot new historical pop musical featuring women who were beheaded.

Hayden and Lu return with a look at the least sympathetic queer character yet:Kefka in FFVI. But first an update on what happens when you go insane in Hayden’s Pulp Cthulhu game, and why Terra is a character who gets too much (romantic) and too little (platonic) love. And who would you recruit into your fantasy party? (Alchemists always welcome.)

Hayden and Lu take some time to break down the scariest scene in Midsommar before dragging H. P. Lovecraft and his writing through the mud and offering some much better suggestions for what you should look at if you're interested in Eldritch Horror. Then Hayden gets the chance to ask Lu the burning question "Slenderblog or Slash Fiction?"

Hayden and Lu do a deep dive into the wild 2004 film Van Helsing. Then its time to discuss whether werewolves or vampires are hotter, whether ruining a wedding is more extra than bidding on your own cake at an auction, and Hayden tries to guess "Country Star or Porn Star?"
