Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gayish: 513 Horror (w/ Scared Gay!)
Q: Why do you think horror kind of gets pushed aside or not taken as seriously?
Paul says horror is often treated as inferior because it is easy to dismiss, and that lower budgets and its lack of a dedicated Oscars category contribute to that. Pablo adds that horror's association with teenage audiences helped make it seem disposable, despite the genre's creative range.
Gayish: 513 Horror (w/ Scared Gay!)
Q: Why do both of you think gay audiences like horror movies?
Paul and Pablo suggest that queer people may connect with horror because they know what it is to feel othered and afraid. Horror offers a way to experience fear with control, face it, and feel empowered afterward.
Gayish: 512 Regrets (w/ Fulla Regrets)
Q: When did you realize you didn't have to lead with her name in every video?
Guest explains pacing and hooking audiences within the first few seconds, which led to dropping a formal intro.
Gayish: 512 Regrets (w/ Fulla Regrets)
Q: What's the elevator pitch for Fulla Regrets?
Guest describes Fulla as the world's grandmother, an immortal bisexual time-traveler with surreal experiences, an ageless persona who loves old Hollywood.
Gayish: 512 Regrets (w/ Fulla Regrets)
Q: What part of the country are you in?
