Disability representation in media doesn’t exist in a vacuum because disability is something that can impact anyone at anytime – meaning it is so important to touch on the intersectional points of representation.Nichole is joined in a discussion of the landmark, but complicated, film Se7en by Hannah Oglivie, host of Fats on Film, a podcast that discusses the representation of plus-sized bodies across all genres of television and film.We touch on so much in our discussion of Se7en:> there are some arguably terrible individuals associated with this movie now but wanted to still have this conversation in the hopes that there is a benefit of sharing our thoughts> how media depictions of disability, weight, gender and sexuality begin to inform our associations and identity from a young age> how disability and weight are linked to the “religious morality” framework of the Seven Deadly SinsConnect with Hannah: @queenbeastsays / @fatsonfilmWant to share your thoughts on Se7en or suggest a film to cover?

Joe and Terry return to Twin Peaks to discuss David Lynch's sensational (and incredibly upsetting) prequel film, Fire Walk With Me (1992). C/W: Sexual AssaultHow does Terry fare with the cacophony of new characters? How do we feel about the recast actors? And how freaking great is Sheryl Lee in a film that makes the actress go there?Wanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify"

Joe and Bryan return to the world of Books of Blood to discuss director John Harrison's 2009 UK adaptation, Book of Blood. C/W: brief sexual assault.It's nearly the same narrative as the 2020 Hulu Books of Blood, only this one has grime and sexuality. It feels properly Clive Barker-y!Plus: Lord of the Rings ghosts, not enough Doug Bradley, handjobs and BDSM, and debate about Mary's endingWanna connect with the show?> Bryan: @eviltaylorhicks (Instagram/BlueSky)> Joe: @bstolemyremoteMusic Credit: Hellraiser Theme by Christopher YoungCheck out Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad for more great content and the other Network pods

For this episode, Nichole is covering two films just released in theatres – Immaculate and The First Omen (2024). As a fan of religious horror, I was very excited to see both but was very surprised to find myself thinking about these films well after viewing and what they had to say about bodily autonomy (both in regards to reproductive health and beyond).Additional Reading/Research:> Leaving Eden Podcast: Ep. 161: Elora Dodd Speaks About Growing Up Neurodivergent In Fundamentalism on Apple Podcasts> Leaving Eden Podcast: Ep. 53: ABORTION on Apple Podcasts> Bodily Autonomy and the Right to Privacy: What They Are, How They Affect People with Disabilities, and Why We Need to Protect Them - Autistic Self Advocacy Network (autisticadvocacy.org)> Supported Decision-Making | National Resource Center (supporteddecisionmaking.org)> First Omens and Immaculate Conceptions: Pregnancy Horror Is Having a Moment - Bloody Disgusting (bloody-disgusting.com)> A New Skin: Losing Control of Your Body in the 2020s | Features | Roger EbertWant to comment with your thoughts on these nunsploitation films?

Terry and Joe return to talk about Cronenberg's queerest film yet: the 1991 adaptation of Naked Lunch.This one is tough, particularly if you're less familiar with the life and work of William S. Burroughs. Visually it's very surreal and fantastical (the typewriters!), but narratively it doesn't come together in a satisfying way.Plus: the amazing FX, real life manslaughter, creature buttholes, and *that* Roy Scheider cameoWanna connect with your co-hosts?> Terry: @gaylydreadful> Joe: @bstolemyremoteIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Theme Music: Roniit - "Purify"

After wrapping up Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Bryan and Joe dig into Brannon Braga's Trick r'Treat-style anthology, Books of Blood (2020).It's...fine. Too polished, strange story choices and Bryan is *not* a fan of how much the film hangs on the character of Jenna (Britt Robertson).Plus: Barker's involvement, speculation about how this went from a TV series to a standalone film, and comparisons to Hulu other Barker adaptation, Hellraiser (2022).Wanna connect with the show?> Bryan: @eviltaylorhicks (Instagram/BlueSky)> Joe: @bstolemyremoteMusic Credit: Hellraiser Theme by Christopher YoungCheck out Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad for more great content and the other Network pods
