Was Your Bedroom A Collage of Red-Headed Women or Were You Straight?

You're invited to our Halloween Live Party! Have you ever seen the hilariously terrible, offensively affectionate, 1988 self-proclaimed shitty movie Curse of the Queerwolf? It's one of those movies you spend the first 15 minutes trying to decide which slur it's calling you, only to realize it was sticking up for you. If it feels dangerous to go alone, take us with you! Join Queernecks for a watch party on Halloween at 8:00 pm EST. Queernecks is a podcast about growing up queer in Appalachia, hosted by two hilarious cultural studies profs. For access to the Hall-O-Kween Live party join the $2 Broke Tier @ https://ko-fi.com/queernecks This episode covers memorable birthday stories, struggles with quitting smoking, and reflections on queer culture and celebrity crushes. From discussing the intricacies of dissertation writing to sharing experiences with tattoo art, the hosts provide an intimate and candid look at their lives. Plus, dive into their humorous take on scarecrows as well as insights into Appalachian traditions like forecasting winter using persimmon seeds. Don't miss their chat on favorite horror movies and the challenge of navigating queer identity in a heteronormative world. Tune in for laughter, heartfelt stories, and warm camaraderie.00:00 Welcome to Queernecks00:27 Birthday Memories01:17 Quitting Smoking Struggles03:41 Continuing the PhD Journey07:24 Fall Vibes and Horror Movies12:51 First Crushes and Celebrity Admiration19:39 The Persistence of Print Media20:17 Trivia Enthusiasts Unite21:05 Celebrity Crushes and Queer Experiences25:14 Cultural Appropriation and Queer Culture30:30 Therapy and Mental Health34:54 Appalachian Weather Predictions37:14 Car Talk and Personal Stories40:13 Podcast Wrap-Up and Announcements
