Who Shot Ya?

It’s the second week of our Queer Horror Month and we’re discussing a classic – 1985’s ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.’ We are joined by one of the true scholars of this movie, filmmaker Michael Varrati. We dissect the homoerotic subtext (and text) of the film, and what it’s like to watch it through a 2021 lens. We also recast some of the classic killers of cinema. And, as always, we’ve got ‘Staff Picks.’In news, Timothée Chalamet drops his first-look image as Willy Wonka, Jake Gyllenhaal says acting in Marvel movies is hard, and some lucky horror fans get to stay in the ‘Scream’ house.This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp and Maximum Film listeners get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com/MAXFILM.Staff Picks:Drea – Bergman IslandAlonso – Scream, Queen!
