Streaming Essentials: FoundTV (May 2026)
Found Footage is sacred ’round these parts. It’s no surprise how much I love FoundTV (subscribe, before you die!) for its immense selection of the old and new. You’ll find landmark titles like The Blair Witch Project and Cannibal Holocaust nestled among some pretty rad new cuts that rival their predecessors in fear factor. You’re…

The Singles Bar: Dagny – Closet Disco Queen
Dagny takes a cue from Madonna for her brand new song, “Closet Disco Queen.” The spiritual successor of “Vogue” and “Express Yourself,” Dagny’s dance-floor confetti explosion turns the synths up to 100 and lets the sweltering heat sweep you away. Bodies grind; sweat glistens; and the night stretches on forever. “I’m gonna dance my heart…

Horror in Frame: A Conversation with P.J. Starks (New Fears Eve)
During the ongoing Slasher Renaissance, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of knockoffs and retreads. Eric Huskisson and P.J. Starks’ New Fears Eve feels both fresh and familiar. The directing duo taps into expectations without becoming stale or uninspired. During a recent Zoom call, Starks, who wrote the script, discusses pulling together the…

The Singles Bar: Adam Mac – Hate to See Me Coming
Country music has always been so gay. Look at rhinestone-studded nudie suits for crying out loud! While The Cowgays are taking over the scene, trio member Adam Mac continues his firestorm of solo music. His new song, “Hate to See Me Coming,” sees him reclaiming a genre he grew up loving but never saw himself…

Record Revue: Kacey Musgraves – Middle of Nowhere
If you remember, Kacey Musgraves first became a meme following the 2013 CMA Awards. During Miranda Lambert‘s acceptance speech for Female Vocalist of the Year, the camera panned to Musgraves, whose natural resting face caused quite a stir. That ignited perceived bad blood between the two for 13 years, and the duet partners confirm suspicions…

10 Essential Proto-Slashers
Slashers might arguably be the most popular horror subgenre there is. Before John Carpenter’s Halloween perfected the formula in 1978, proto-slashers, including Psycho, Blood Feast (also part splatter flick), and Black Christmas, were a thing for at least 15 years or so. Many of those pre-Halloween entries mangled various slasher elements, such as a masked…

Thrill Me: The Bride!
If you’re queer, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! likely smacked you squarely across the face. It did to me at least. This week’s Thrill Me playlist unsurprisingly centers on, well, The Bride (Jessie Buckley), and features bold and dark songs. Some brim with unfettered feminine/trans/queer rage. Others are musically somber, dimly lit, and carry significant, throbbing…

Pride 2026: Call for Pitches from Queer Writers
The past 10 years have brought war down upon the heads of trans people. It’s frightening. We watch the news and doomscroll on social media, confronted with yet another stripping away of trans rights. We are all in the same boat. Once the administration is done with trans folx, they’re coming for the rest of…

Trans Rage in ‘The Bride!’
I never expected Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! to affect me so deeply. When I watched it a few days ago, I was practically driven to tears. From the cold open, Jessie Buckley, as Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, there’s something eerily visceral and transcendent about the words pouring forth from her lips. “What I…

Video Killed the Radio Star: Love, BB – Solitaire
Take a stroll down a dark alley to the local jazz club. It’s filled with smoke, and the dim light casts eerie shadows over the crowd. That’s what Love, BB (comprised of Brooke Backman and songwriter/producer Michael Leviton) beckon you to do with their new music video, “Solitaire.” Its classic film noir aesthetic is not…

Thrill Me: Send Help
As India Ramey sings in the title track to her new album: “Welcome to my villain era!” It’s true. The past week has been a whirlwind of WTF and sadness. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, I’m here. I have my health. I have my cats. And I have friends who care. That’s…

Video Killed the Radio Star: Psychic Lines – Horror Comedy
With animation by BPMT Studios, Psychic Lines‘ “Horror Comedy” video satiates my bloodlust for visual butchery. The images flicker past the eyeballs like some twisted acid trip. Heightening the barbed lyrics, lobbied at political power players, the musical buffet blasts you with bursts of color and hypnotic distortions so severe that it’ll toss you into…

The Singles Bar: Daniel Arison – Sad
Feeling sad? In total despair? Or maybe you’re numb? Well, Daniel Arison has the syrupy elixir for you. “I lost someone I never had,” he sings in his effervescent new banger, “Sad.” Like all deceptively chipper pop tracks, overwhelming sadness is masked beneath waves of juicy production. Just how I like it. When summer hits,…

Panic Fest 2026: A Conversation with Justin Streichman & Gustine Füdickar (Lady Puritan)
Surrealist horror takes monstrous shape in Justin Streichman and Gustine Füdickar’s Lady Puritan. It’s a film that injects a David Lynch sensibility directly into the veins. And that’s no easy feat. When images itch and swirl in your eyeballs, the short doesn’t let up. In a recent Zoom conversation, Streichman and Füdickar discuss their cinematic…

Video Killed the Radio Star: Juana Everett – Whatever It Takes
“Whatever It Takes” is like stepping back in time. Laundry day with Nana. Driving to the local Pigly Wigly. Taking that leisurely walk down by the lake after Sunday school. Juana Everett enlists Dylan LeBlanc for the honeyed and homey little number, paired with an equally cozy visual that’s just like warm butter in a…
