Voorhees, A Jolly Good Fellow
Few movies had as much impact on our teen years as the 1980 slasher flick Friday the 13th. We were utterly terrified to watch it and sat under a blanket on our older sister’s sofa watching a VHS copy, peering through clenched fingers in case things got too scary. Indeed, we were so frightened and nervous as the killer worked […]
The Texas Theatre Brings Back A Classic “Skin” Flick
Back in the early 2000s, Hollywood didn’t have nearly as much queer content as we enjoy today. From TV to the big screen, more and more stories have emerged about the LGBTQ+ experience, and the world is better for it. One of the early pioneers of modern queer cinema, Gregg Araki, got his start back in the late 1980s. But […]
Hilariously Horny Horror
An orange unicorn hosting a kids’ show. A bunch of terrified children. And the promise of malicious mayhem from start to finish. These three things alone are enough to get us to the movie theater to see Buddy. But the fact that the horror flick comes from the creator of the legendary Adult Swim comedy short, Too Many Cooks, pushes […]
Stoners, You’ve Got A New Movie!
For decades, the stoner-comedy milieu has mostly belonged to the dudes, bros and bong-buds of Hollywood. Thank Cheech and Chong if you must. But tonight, two women toke up the mantle with the premiere of The Wrong Girls. Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat star in the wild and trippy movie about two best girlfriends who enjoy their fair share of […]
Start! That! Shortbus!
Certain events in life will be burned in our memories forever. We vividly remember where we were during the OJ Simpson verdict announcement, the second tower going down on 9/11 and the moment President Biden announced Kamala would be running in his place: Our Creative Writing 101 classroom at the University of North Texas. In line at McDonald’s on Fitzhugh. […]
Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome!
Head to the Kit Kat Club by way of The Texas Theatre this Friday. Cabaret kicks off a six-month CinéWilde at the Texas Theatre season inspired by the 1920s and featuring films of the 20th century that honor queer resistance. The classic film stars Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey and it’s one that every LGBTQ+ person should see at least […]
Lez Be Witches, Eh?
At an age when we no longer believe in Santa Claus and a surprise party might send us into cardiac arrest, it’s wonderful to still explore the unknown. This happened this week when we were pitched the Video On Demand release of Camp. It was billed as a “Queer Coming-of-Age Witch Horror Destined for Cult Status” in the subject line […]

Tudum Tudum: Kylie Comes To Netflix
Kylie Minogue performed one of the best concerts we saw in 2025 (or the past 20 years, really. She started right on time (yes, Madonna, it’s possible). She sang her heart out. And she danced her ass off for nearly two solid hours. It was during that show that an obsession officially formed, even though we’d been casually fangirling over […]
