Doused With Bikinis, Boobs and Blood in ‘Piranha 3D’ [Horror Queers Podcast]
Spring Break Boobies.
After reaching the end of the road on our “underseen or underrated?” theme with the queer, DIY aesthetics of Death Drop Gorgeous and returning to our regular programming with an analysis of Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom, we’re going to celebrate Spring Break a little late with bikinis and boobs in Alexandre Aja‘s 2010 schlock-fest Piranha 3D!
In the film, set during spring break on Lake Victoria, an underground tremor releases hundreds of prehistoric, carnivorous piranhas into the lake. Local cop Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) must join forces with a band of unlikely strangers to destroy the ravenous creatures before everyone becomes fish food.

Episode 171: Piranha 3D (2010)
Slather that sunscreen on your nose and get those boobies ready because we’re doing Spring Break a little late this year as we discuss Alexandre Aja’s incredibly fun and incredibly gory Piranha 3D (2010). Joining us for the fun is Megan Sunday, the co-host of the Let’s Get Weirding podcast!
Join us as we discuss the film’s shockingly troubled post-production process (leading to some no-so-great CGI), the film’s treatment of women, the dicks of both Jerry O’Connell and Adam Scott, and that nude, lesbian, underwater ballet sequence.
Plus: More Weinstein woes, #JusticeForDanni, Trace’s geography struggles, and Dina Meyer done dirty (again!). Oh, and and how about the fact that this almost became an Alan Smithee film?
Cross out Piranha 3D!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re flashing back to 1960 to discuss the film that birthed the slasher genre…Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom!

Stephen King’s ‘Doctor Sleep’ Returns to ‘The Shining’ With Mixed Results [The Losers’ Club Podcast]
“Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.”
The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast heads to Frazier, New Hampshire to review Stephen King’s 2013 novel, Doctor Sleep. The sequel to 1977’s The Shining follows a much-older Danny Torrance, whose battle with alcoholism becomes all the more complicated when he crosses paths with a young child who also has the shine.
Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Dan Caffrey as they discuss the True Knot, dirty dishes with poundcake, and debate if King should have ever burned down The Overlook Hotel. Note: This episode was recorded in 2019 and is being re-released today as part of their ensuing chronological read-through.
Stream the discussion below and stay tuned next week for an episode on Bryan Fuller’s Carrie.
