Rebels! Fresh out of tissues from Heartstoppers, we wanted to take a second and talk to our audience about a more important topic that we've been wanting to address. Don't worry! We still poke fun at one another, and hype up the event next week, so it's not all serious, but we hope you enjoy this PSA Minisode and come back next Saturday for "Young Royals" (2021)

April 23, 2022The Covenant
Send us a text
Welcome back Rebels! we've missed you!! We're just about finished the start of Season 4, so we wanted to take it back to our archived episode, on the 2006 Adventure Fantasy "The Covenant!" A fantasy movie that, with a few more rounds in the writers room, could have become a legendary queer film for the ages. Instead it's early 2000's pg-13 fluff with various stages of co-ed undress.

The Covenant (2006), Directed by Renny Harlin, written by J.S Cardone, starring Sebastian Stan, Steven Strait, Taylor Kitsch and Chace Crawford. Mannequin tells the story of four young men who belong to a New England supernatural legacy, as they are forced to battle a fifth power long thought to have died out. Meanwhile, jealousy and suspicion threaten to tear them apart.

Happy Pride Month! We put our Pride theme watches on hold, to watch the Queer Horror/Thriller Bloodthirsty (2020)! You're probably saying to yourself "Self, those wads watch movies all the time. ...So?" Well, hold onto your rainbow flags because Not only did we watch this first-of-its-kind Queer Horror, but we interviewed not one, but TWO of the stars of the movie!
Lauren Beatty (Bleed with Me / Jigsaw) and Katharine King So (Jupiter's Legacy / Transplant ) were awesome enough to offer us a behind-the-scenes look at working with Canadian Filmmaker Amelia Moses, the music of singer/songwriter Lowell, and locations of this Wild Lesbian Werewolf film! Yeah! It's a Lesbian Werewolf Movie! You're welcome, everyone!!
Was this movie shot in a Haunted gothic sex club?!? For that, you'll have to listen to our bonus content on Patreon to find out!

Don't Forget to Support The Artists!

March 12, 2022To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar
Send us a text
Rebels! Here's a Classic Episode, pulled from out of the closet and rereleased for Classics out of the Closet month!
When I say we discussed the 1995 film "Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar," I should say praise, because we all live and breathe this movie. This isn't a Call Me by Your Name slam session, there's a lot of respect for this film in our review.

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995), Directed by Beeban Kidron, Written by Douglas Carter Beane, starring Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, John Leguizamo and Stockard Channing. To Wong Foo, ... tells the story of three drag queens traveling cross-country until their car breaks down, leaving them stranded in a small town.
