The last few weeks on the Horror Queers Podcast have resulted in plenty of great discussions and hilarious shenanigans. We’ve suffered through the misogyny and bees in Neil LaBute’s 2006 remake of The Wicker Man, taken our first journey into video game adaptations with 2014’s Fatal Frame and discussed male-on-male rape (and pig-fucking) in Calvaire.
In the newest episode Joe and I are discussing David Cronenberg‘s classic film The Brood, which follows a man (Art Hindle) uncovering an eccentric psychologist’s (Oliver Reed) therapy techniques on his institutionalized wife (Samantha Eggar), amidst a series of brutal murders committed by a brood of deformed dwarves.

Episode 21 – The Brood (1979)
Joe drags Trace back to Canada-land to re-visit David Cronenberg’s oeuvre with The Brood, an incredibly light-hearted movie about a woman who births deformed killer dwarves through an external womb.
This week, Joe goes through a lot. Not only does he imagine what his life would be like if David Cronenberg and David Lynch were his two daddies, but he also managed to stick his finger in an electrical socket before the recording began, thereby making his audio sound all staticky.
Trace gets off a bit easier as he is forced to contemplate just what exactly a “milk and orange juice drawer” is, second guess himself on Dr. Raglan’s sexual orientation and deal with his dogs taking over his recording studio.
It’s a fun time for everyone!
Cross out The Brood!
Coming up Wednesday: We delve into experimental soft-core pornography with Bruce LaBruce’s 2008 queer zombie film Otto; or, Up With Dead People. Haven’t seen it? Never fear! It’s currently streaming on Amazon!
