    Trigger warnings: domestic abuse, child neglect

    Time for another titan of the Tainted Love genre as we discuss Possession directed by Andrzej Żuławski.

  • Femme (2024) // MATCH MY FREAK
    Apr 9 2025

    Trigger warnings: homophobic motivated assualt

    As RuPaul would say "we're all born naked, everything else is drag" because life is all about performing, literally and metaphorically. Zobo & Daddy dive into the fantastically complicated erotic thriller Femme, directed by Sam H. Freeman & Ng Choon Ping. We're discussing safety in queer spaces, the function of excessive sex, and violent vs emotional assault. Have some water and a cigarette on hand, this one is intense!
