THE HANDMAIDEN (2016) ft. Tori Potenza // International Queer Horror

Published on: 4th June, 2024

Happy Pride Month! This year our queer focus is international queer horror and we're starting off with a banger. Tori Potenza (Movie Jawn, Certified Forgotten) joins the boys to discuss Park Chan-wook's erotic thriller The Handmaiden. We're talking necessary sex scenes, Tarantino-esque storytelling, and the rich filmmaking on display. Put your favorite pair of gloves on for this one!

About the Podcast

Specter Cinema Club
An exploration of the sub-genres that make up our favorite horror movies!

Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work.

NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase haha
NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under "Bloody Blunts" however the show didn't change, so Season 3 is where we continued as "Specter Cinema"
