Queer and Loathing

Episode 24


There’s been a coup! Samantha grabs the reins this week to lead the discussion for an especially traumatizing movie from her past. Saddle up with your Q&L hosts as they gallop into a discussion of the 2002 phenomenon “The Ring,” which is THE film our brave Samantha was most scared to cover going into this podcast. 


Tune in to find out: does she still feel unbridled terror thinking about this American remake? Did it buck her expectations? Is she chomping at the bit to say her piece? If you want to find out the answers to these questions, race to your nearest podcast app!

Episode 23

Nope, not the new one. We are talking about the classic 1988 film “Beetlejuice” (singular) this time. 


On a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice high and thirsting for more? Want to take a trip down nostalgia lane? Just want to hang out with your most (occasionally) correct podcast hosts? If so, join us for this deep dive into Tim Burton films, canceled actors, autumnal blessings, and attempts at script doctoring.


How many times can our lovable Q&L hosts say P******** in a single episode? Which of the three hosts loved this movie enough to actually see the sequel? Which host has a Tim Burton inspired tattoo? Which host is a devious gay like Otho? You can probably just guess those answers, but tune in anyway to find out for sure!

Episode 21


It only took 38 years, but the Alien franchise is BACK, baybeee! 


Join our hosts for this existential episode of Q&L, where Mel rants about haters, Brett practices AVP erasure, and Samantha unlocks the next level of her horror fan status: night terrors! 


So many dynamic questions will be posed during this episode. Like, how many video games can Mel possibly bring up? Fellas, are sequels gay? How much does Brett love CGI dead actors? Will this movie introduce more lore no one wants? Will Samantha be okay? 


We promise to answer maybe some of those!

Episode 20

School is back in session! We are closing out the summer with The Faculty, the edgy 1998 The Thing rip-off from Robert Rodriguez. 

After traumatizing Samantha with a bunch of really intense and scary movies, we decided to give her a little reprieve and just have a ton of fun with everybody’s favorite 2cool4school star-studded scifi teen horror romp. Disclaimer: none of us were in high school in 1998, so maybe it was just like that back then.

Episode 19

Cats can have a little noise as a treat.

In this episode of Q&L, your favorite hosts discuss the latest film in the “sensory-sensitive aliens” subgenre: A Quiet Place 3 (or whatever it’s called). Brett, Mel, and Samantha will talk all things Quiet Place: pizza, cats, sound aliens, and… 9/11? 

Exciting points of discussion may include:

“Who can pronounce Djimon Hounsou without sounding like an idiot?”

“Does anyone actually remember the second movie?”

“Why doesn’t that guy take off his tie?”

“Why that cat like that?”

“Does Mel have amnesia?”

And so much more!

Episode 18

Who doesn’t love a murder cult? This week, Q&L hosts Mel, Brett, and Samantha explore the thematically rich and beautifully crafted 2019 instant classic Midsommar. Which host would not be allowed to join the Harga? Which host would die immediately from sun exposure? Which host will play Midsommar music on a kazoo to avoid copyright claims? You’ll have to tune in to find out! The answers to these exciting questions may surprise you (but probably not). 

Break yourself down and open yourself to the influence! Skål!

Episode 17

It’s “the scariest movie since Silence of the Lambs”* Pack up your longlegs and your most beautifully-crafted ceramic doll and join your Q&L hosts as they talk about the newest spoopy Satanic movie from Osgood Perkins: LONGLEGS!

Brett, Mel, and Samantha saw the most marketed niche movie for weirdos of the year. Listen as they discuss how atmosphere impacts how we experience fear, political discourse about being biracial, the manufactured anxiety surrounding horror movies you haven’t seen yet, and, of course, edging.

Episode 15

Disaster strikes! Samantha caught the plague before recording (she’s doing better now), but the Q&L team pulled through and recorded an episode for you anyway, because they are just that dedicated to you, the fans. You are so welcome.

This week, join Brett, Mel, and ZoomSam as they talk about Maxxxine, Ti West’s newest smutty drug-fueled installment in the X franchise. Will Mel bring up the Suspiria remake again? Will Sam finally stand up for what she believes in and disagree with her bully cohosts? Will Brett make more Boomer references that his youthful friends won’t understand? Grab your cookie jar of coke, pump up the jams, and tune in to find out!
