Episode 251 - Take a Bite Out of Pride
from Flickers from the Cave Hosted by Mike, Marty and Julie
For our annual Pride-month episode, we are looking at two films that combine classic horror tropes along with LGBTQ+ themes. We start off with "Bit" from 2019, a vampire movie with a trans lead and a troupe of feminist vampires waging a war against the douchey men of Los Angeles. It's a fun film with a strong political component that serves as a strong underpinning of the rest of the action. We follow that with the EXCELLENT zombie-comedy "Queens of the Dead" from 2025. It's directed by Tina Romero, daughter of George Romero who basically created the modern zombie film. This is a truly outstanding bit of work. Very funny, with great performances from an incredible cast, it focuses on a wild night in New York when the dead are suddenly roaming the streets. This movie gets everything right and left us all eagerly anticipating Tina Romero's next film!
