Spiral (2020)

<p>What's better than escaping from the city and moving out to the country? Well, if it's 1995 and you're an interracial gay couple, almost anything. That's the story at the heart of Kurtis David Harder's queer horror film <em>Spiral</em>, our 2020 entry in our "Underseen or Underrated?" theme.</p><p>Join us as we discuss this unabashedly queer horror film that manages to combine supernatural horror with very real horror to great effect. We'll discuss the hate crime that opens the film (and compare it to a similar opening in <em>It Chapter Two</em>) and we'll also discuss internalized homophobia, in a conversation that hits a close to home for Trace.&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, polyamory, leaving your doors unlocked in suburbia and PTSD. It's a heavier episode focused on on an admittedly heavy film, but never fear: our trademark humor is still here in spades!</p><p>Questions? Comments? Snark?
