March is Jenn's pick so we're getting into familial/revenge territory with this month's Erotic Thriller, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992) C/W: sexual assault.It turns out that the film is far more than a killer nanny and an iconic set piece in a greenhouse. It also opens with an uncomfortable sexual assault! Up for discussion: Ernie Hudson's mentally disabled character, Claire (Annabella Sciorra)'s underlying racism, normalizing breast feeding, Julianne Moore's "modern" woman and debates about whether the film is actually an erotic thriller.Wanna connect with the show?Gena: @genadoesthingsJenn: @jennferatuJoe: @bstolemyremoteMusic Credit: Sexy Time by Anthony VegaIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Check out Anatomy of a Scream for more great content and the other Network pods.  Hosted on Acast.

Rural horror often brings up images of “cannibalistic mutants” hiding out in the woods, mountains, or desert – ready to kill off the outsiders passing through for their next meal. But it is a subgenre that is more expansive than that.In this episode, I will walk through some of my complicated feelings with the subgenre and how it manages to often feature and completely ignore disability connected to its characters.Shoutout to Horror Queers and their fantastic Patreon series on the subject (March 2021) for being my inspiration for this episodes. If you have the means and are looking for wonder content from two amazing people, please support them. Additional reading/references: Hillbilly horror: Reckoning with a genre 15 years after "Wrong Turn" Want to reach out and say hello?

Nichole Goble couldn’t think of a better way to kick off 2022 than to talk about her favorite film from last year: My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To.This film takes the subtext of vampirism as an illness and makes it text. Let’s just say the phrase ”blood is thicker than water” will have a new meaning after watching this one.Want to reach out and say hello? Of course you do!

January is Joe's pick so he, Gena and Jenn are checking out the sexiest film they've covered yet: Jane Campion's In The Cut. Starring Meg Ryan and a moustache'd Mark Ruffalo, this film is far more interested in the erotic than the thriller...and is maybe better for it?Up for discussion: the smouldering sex scenes, a disavowal of traditional gender roles, Gena's appreciation of a realistic step-sibling relationship, desire for Mark Ruffalo(s adult-oriented career) and disagreement about the cohesiveness of the film's visual aesthetic.Wanna connect with the show?Gena: @genadoesthingsJenn: @jennferatuJoe: @bstolemyremoteMusic Credit: Sexy Time by Anthony VegaIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Check out Anatomy of a Scream for more great content and the other Network pods.  Hosted on Acast.
