Hide your ChapStick and get off the damn bridge because we're heading into the world of high strangeness with a look at Mark Pellington's 2002 chiller The Mothman Prophecies (2002). Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and Trace's better half) Ari Drew!
Join us as we offer a brief primer on cryptids and why us queers often feel a special connection to them, before going all in on this stealth Christmas horror film. It's a more philosophical episode than usual, but that makes for some fascinating conversations.
Plus: diving into the true story the film is based on, Mothman's cakes (the butt kind), Richard Gere's magical 2002, creepy phone calls from Indrid Cold and one great hidden scare.
Reference: Drew, Ari. The Horrors In-Between: Four Boundary-Pushing Directors Discuss Their Latest Liminal Horror Projects [Interview]. Bloody Disgusting.
