~She's bulletproof, nothing to lose... Fire away, fire away~
On this week's episode we discuss the film M3GAN! Returning guest Sara Brown (from our Persona 5 and Catherine: Full Body episodes) joins us to talk about the little murderous doll who has captivated audiences nationwide and immediately become a new gay horror icon.

We talk about how she joins a lineage of haunted little dolls while also subverting the trope with a modern twist about our over-reliance on technology in child-care. Plus we ruminate on why she resonates so much with queer audiences. Is it because she's a represents some sort of metaphor for chosen family? Or is because she wears a c*nty little outfit and does a tiktok dance and slays? We certainly have our opinion on the matter!

Later on the show, in What Else We're Gay For, we discuss Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water, Star Wars: Andor, and HBO's The Last of Us (note: we taped this episode before episode 3 of TLOU gagged us all, but TRUST we will be talking about it again in the near future).
