Piggy (aka Thank God for 30 year old teens) with Michael Tanner
YO, absolute trigger warnings for fatphobia, binge eating and any other issues with size and beauty standards you can imagine. It's honestly difficult to tell whether this movie is doing more harm or good in its representation. Casting an actual fat actress is great but then putting her in clothes that don't fit for the whole movie is less than great. Who knows?

They/Them (aka Trans Kids LOVE Police) with Morgan
Trigger warning: conversion camps, conversion therapy, honey pots, shock therapy, aversion therapy, torture, nudity, transphobia, biphobia, homophobia, gaslighting, homophobic violence. rape, sexual assault.It used to be that when you started looking for horror movies with queer content to talk about during Pride you had to settle for a lot of "feels queer" and "this straight person is a queer icon" or "queer subtext".I have good news and bad news. The Good News: "They/Them" from Peacock stars a dozen or so explicitly queer teen characters.The Bad News: This movie is an absolute stinker that has no idea what it is or what it wants to do. We go from shock therapy to Glee style musical numbers of P!NK songs. It's all handled with the precision and subtlety of a Dick Cheney hunting trip. Other good news: it does seem that non-binary people are invisible and free to move around with no restriction of gender or plot.Other bad news: The ending of this thing should be saved for the last day of June because it is sure to propel you directly into Gay Wrath. It is next level bad. It somehow manages to be both nonsensical and undercut the entire rest of the movie. Wait till you hear about the unquestioning love and faith that a black trans woman has in the local police!Recommendations:Literally anything else. We do not recommend this movie.

Your mileage may vary, but James Wan's Malignant is definitely going to elicit some reaction from you!Wan is the most recent AAPI director we're highlighting this week, with a huge slew of horror and non-horror movies and a massive production company of his own in Atomic Monster, there are few genre directors with more influence...which is sort of the only reason I can imagine this movie got made at all.Recommendations:M3ganStar Trek: Strange New WorldsThese Fleeting ShadowsGunpowder MilkshakeNobodyRenfieldBanshees (from Scout Comics)John WickThe Seattle Underground (the actual place, not many of the other things probably named this in popular culture) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
