About this episode

In this episode, Sam and Jordan explore various films and themes, including queer cinema and classic literature adaptations.

This week, Jordan and I (Sam) come out to queer-y FAIRYLAND, carry ON FALLING into total isolation, put NUREMBERG on trial, tell-all about THE BEAST IN ME, seize the Day-Lewis with ANEMONE, ignore the news of the world to focus on THE HACK, get our fix(er) with RELAY, pick up BLACK PHONE 2, investigate the supernormal SHELBY OAKS, give you THE LOWDOWN on ←, get between The Rock and a scarred face for THE SMASHING MACHINE and weigh in on the Promethean qualities of FRANKENSTEIN.
