Rise of the Gay Cinephiles
Formerly known as Horror. Cult. Trash. Other., Rise of the Gay Cinephiles is a queer film, TV & pop culture podcast that covers everything from what’s happening in Real Housewives to what’s newly released in cinemas. Every two weeks, you can expect hosts Chris and Gary to talk about their four favourite films they’ve been watching, two older films and two new releases, as well as talking about everything else they’ve been watching on TV and on the big screen alongside any other random things that may or may not lead to extensive tangents. Sit back, relax, and enjoy listening to two gay cinephiles talking about what they’ve been watching and various other hot topics!

Welcome to Rise of the Gay Cinephile's alphabetical journey through all 72 films on the Video Nasties DPP List!
This week, we're discussing Tony Maylam's slasher classic, The Burning; William Asher's progressive queer slasher, Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker; Luigi Cozzi's Alien rip-off, Contamination; Gary Sherman's hidden 80s gem, Dead & Buried; Peter Maris' painfully boring Delirium; and the bottom of the barrel trash that is Jess Franco's Devil Hunter.
