4. LOST BOYS (1987): Initiation’s Over, Time to Join the (Gay) Club!

Explicit

Content warning: brief discussions of child abuse and sexual violence

Now you know what we are, now you know what YOU are! Laney and Carson travel to the Murder Capital of the World for this episode on Lost Boys! In this episode, we discuss queer vampires, the Satanic Panic, and a pure Freudian slip about one of Laney’s favorite K-pop groups. We dissect film through the queer lens, theory of disidentification (José Esteban Muñoz 1999), and the many versions of vampire metaphors used in media. Join us, drink some of this, be one of us!
