cult movies Out. Hold. In. (I SAW THE TV GLOW, 2024) I finally wrote about the ending of I SAW THE TV GLOW. Massive spoilers if you have not seen the movie. You have been warned.

cult movies Three Film Recs for I SAW THE TV GLOW I SAW THE TV GLOW is easily the best movie I have seen this year. If you are trans and weird, if you love media more than some people ever loved you, if you feel any kind of kinship in my writing; see it as soon as you can, and see it in a theater.
the people's joker Flaming Beautiful Failure (THE PEOPLE'S JOKER, 2022) I am still doing this because I want to be the person I am right now more than I want my own teeth.

apocalypse from now on Featured You Should Watch Gay Porn in a Theater (LA PLAYS ITSELF, 1972) Watching vintage gay porn with a modern queer audience is a distinct communal experience, a rejection of social prudishness and an opportunity to champion queer artists that a polite society demands we discard.
movies Is SALTBURN The New PINK FLAMINGOS? SALTBURN isn't useful for people who already love PINK FLAMINGOS. It's useful for people who have never seen PINK FLAMINGOS and need an on-ramp into the joys of nasty art.
movies Unsettling Christmas Movies for Every Occasion If you are a queer and/or trans person who is going home for the holidays, it is only natural to spend much of that time yearning for revenge. Why not make your family watch a John Waters movie on Christmas Eve?
movies The Exquisite Corpse (BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR, 1991) If I died tomorrow, my body would most likely be treated as a “female” body. That doesn’t make me a woman. My body makes everyone who calls me a woman incorrect.
