In this episode, we are celebrating PRIDE with a discussion around the severely underrated queer vampire film BIT (2019). The themes we will be discussing are positive queer representation in horror, the division between Second and Third Wave feminists and the gender politics of vampire hunters.

To round out our celebration for Pride, and the underground gem Bit (2019), we interviewed the man behind it, Brad Michael Elmore! This music lover is an emerging talent in the indie film world with Boogeyman Pop (2018) and Wolfman’s Hammer (2011) already under his belt. His soon-to-be cult classic Bit is a refreshing, subversive take on queer horror with a trans lead in this bubble gum pop, feminist, vampire tale. Brad had a lot of insightful things to say about his process, the creation of Bit and more. Enjoy and welcome to our dark side...

In this episode, we are finding our inner dark goddesses and discussing Satanic Feminism! Through the films Don't Deliver Us From Evil (1971), Alucarda (1977), Jennifer’s Body (2009), and The Witch (2016), we will explore the representation and importance of Satan as the image of an anti-patriarchal idol and source of empowerment for women. By highlighting the three main Satanic opponents of the patriarchy -- Eve, the witch, and the succubus -- we will show that there is strength in darkness and power within embracing the ideology of Satanism.

In this episode, it is Spinster's Choice and Jessica chose the 1985 horror-comedy Re-Animator. The Spinsters chat about the film, its comparison to the original story by H.P. Lovecraft and again touch upon cosmic horror. Their conversation also takes them into exploring the early 20th-century "immortality projects", as well as talk about our fears around death and dying.
