Hocus Pocus (1993)

Lizzie & Sam get witchy with it with Kenny Ortega's original masterpiece, Hocus Pocus! We do a deep dive into what makes nostalgia so powerful, unpack the borderline obsession with the main character's v-card, and list the great number of things we would do for Bette Midler. Merry gay christmas to all!

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

Lizzie and Sam sink their teeth into Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire (1994). Plenty of gay vampire drama ensues - we talk the vampy Cher, the shady Anne Rice, and the vaguely obnoxious Tom Cruise. Don't worry darling, we only mention the Twilight series one hundred or so times this episode. Happy spooky movie month!
