Talking Tropes 55: Burtonween

from Talking Tropes Podcast Hosted by Talking Tropes Podcast

What's the spookiest Halloween tradition of all? Critical theory! We take a look at Jack Halberstam's The Queer Art of Failure and his queer reading of stop-motion animation. We try to apply this reading to the creepiest, spookiest stop-motion filmmaking team of all time: Tim Burton and Henry Selick. That's right, Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Coraline, Frankenweenie and more! Happy Halloween! Check us out on Twitter @talkingtropes
