I Gay Therefore I Horror

This week Acting Up are joined once again by the original guest and bestie of the pod - Rhys Tinney. Rhys returns for chatty discussion on a special interest, welcome to three besties on a sofa talking about horror! 
Rhys discusses their relationship with horror and how they came to be (in Jordan’s words) ‘an infinite well of knowledge’, spills some history and gifts you all a wonderful guide to getting into horror. Jordan laments again on the death of the medium budget film and remembers the horror that was her cortisol levels while watching queer icon, The Babadook. Megan delves into the media that turned her from nightmare haver to into a fearless fan of the genre and the iconic performances that stayed have with her. 
Discussions include the relationship between societal fears, homosexuality, eroticism and vampirism, the fine line between method acting and exploitation, pillars of the genre and the formula of fear, becoming the horror vs becoming the victim and remembering the iconic talent that is Shelley Duvall. 
By the way the song Megan is looking for is Tubular Bells (which Jordan was saying!) from THE EXORCIST not Halloween!   
Tangents include Grandpa Megan, the kittens origin story, apology with tears for inconsistency and Bill Skarsgårds tesco meal deal.
