Trash & Treasures: The Hunger
Despite this being the most famous lesbian vampire movie, it’s the least gay of the three vampire movies we watched (it’s also above using the word “vampire,” so…).
Drunk Book Club: My Sweet Audrina
The author behind Flowers in the Attic wrote about more Southern Gothic-flavored things while handling a bunch of sensitive issues poorly. Seriously, mind the content warnings on this one.
Watching Netflix’s Death Note
Given the hardcore fandom phase I went through in high school over this series (I was in it to win it, people), it was inevitable that I’d wind up watching the terribly conceived, terribly executed Netflix movie. Spoilers: it’s not that it’s stupid. It’s that it isn’t stupid […]
Trash & Treasures – The Bad Seed
Funny as fuck but with a genuinely good child actor hamming it up.
Wandering Son Retrospective
I hosted an analysis of Wandering Son, one of the very few anime and manga to focus on the experience of growing up trans in Japan, and was joined by some special guests: including ANN’s Jacob Chapman; Rachel “Matt” Thorn, who translated the WS manga, and Youtuber Cayla […]

Trash & Treasures – The Atomic Cafe
Amazing how the Cold War knew how we’d kill ourselves off. Just took a little longer than they expected.
Trash & Treasures – The Five Obstructions
Lars von Trier tries optimism. It doesn’t work.
