Episode 30 - Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

Bodybuilding! Magical realism! Lesbians! When Chekhov’s gun is actually a gun! Come along and join the appreciation of the gun show (Katy O’Brien’s arms) with Queer Girl Film Club as we talk Love Lies Bleeding (2024).

Enjoy the gang’s discussions and digressions about the year’s most hyped queer girl film, during which we talk about the queerness of body horror, Kristen Stewart’s excellent acting chops, scary Ed Harris, steroids, and why it feels like we’re getting a lot of 80s and 90s set films at the moment (clue: no smart phones). You can also enjoy G and Alice pronouncing director Rose Glass’s surname completely differently to how Holly says it.
