This week on Skeleton Closet, it's our first sports movie! Black Swan is all about the intensely competitive world of ballet, and the jealousy, injuries, insecurities, and indignities that go along with it. It's an Academy Award-winning masterpiece that was nominated for Best Picture, but your hosts mostly remembered it for..... THAT scene. Join us as we explore movies that feel like nightmares, boundaries, body horror, and what our more sensual doppelgangers would be like.

There's things that happen hereabout that folks don't tell about. That's what Jake and Shannon learned this week on Skelly Pod when they took in the mother of the modern slasher flick, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Join our hosts as they situate this movie against the backdrop of the social politics of the 1970s, talk about the power that courses through you when you hold a chainsaw, and discuss whether Leatherface was really in drag at that dinner table scene.

On this week's episode, Jake and Shannon break down THE quintessential Queer Horror movie: 1975's The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Join our hosts as they check out the light over at the Frankenstein place, see what's on the slab, and ultimately get left crawling on the planet's face as a house-shaped rocketship full of corpses leaves us for dead. We'll discuss themes of repression and hedonism, how we address outdated identifying words in iconic cinema, and what it means to be lost in time and space and meaning.

Welcome to our version of paradise! In this episode, our intrepid hosts visit the beach that makes you old, and find that they age like milk. Join us as we get into this movie's depiction of the universal fear of aging, its extreme lack of queer people, and the twists and turns you'd expect from M. Night. We also discuss the LGBTQ2S+ community's relationship with old folks, Mr. Shyamalan's surprisingly potent critique of eugenics and capitalism, and how much explaining is too much explaining when it comes to sci-fi.

Strap in, strap on, tuck in - whatever you need to do to prepare yourself for Skeleton Closet's first slasher, Killer Unicorn! This movie is fun, flamboyant, but more than anything else, it is FOUL.

Witness as we discuss the importance of protecting LGBTQ+ safe spaces, Shannon starts beef with a much bigger podcast, and the hosts make their case to be cast in the sequel.

Greetings, tampooners and salties! This week, Skeleton Closet is here to examine Jennifer's Body, a 2009 horror comedy that includes ritual sacrifice, demons, and cannibalism, but still left us feeling like there's nothing scarier than teenage girls. Join Jake and Shannon as they discuss teen culture, slumber parties, moral panics, deals with the devil, and how this movie's marketing could basically be summed up as 'see this movie because Megan Fox is hot'.

Teen Wizards. Flying Cars. Ghostly presences in the bathrooms of elite boarding schools. This week on Skelly Pod, we're talking about the most iconic franchise of the early 2000's. You guessed right, dear reader - it's The Covenant, starring Sebastian Stan and pals. This movie is not at all queer, but ended up on Rotten Tomatoes' list of Queer Horror films due to the amount of gratuitous locker room shower scenes. Join us as Jake and Shannon discuss fraternity culture, fashion of the aughts, and Shannon's propensity for witchy fanfiction.
