  • Superb cult movie podcast with a queer perspective

    So many cult movie podcasts are just sofa movie fans giving opinions. Peaches Christ and Micheal Varrati are certainly fans, but they also bring in-depth knowledge and a very strong point of view. Midnight Mass is also raised above the movie podcasts glut by excellent guests each episode who always bring their own interesting perspectives on the subject under the lens. A consistent joy of a podcast.

It’s a perfect film, and I was so happy to hear Peaches put out the call to convince her to have an episode in the future. It must happen. DuJour means pretty please! You’ll get the reference when you watch the movie.
