Bryan and Joe return to discuss Gretchen Felker-Martin's 'Hellbound Heart'-referencing Black Flame (2025)

The challenging story of a self-hating queer Jewish woman who becomes embroiled in a hallucinatory lost film can be difficult, but we quite like how the novel plays in the sandbox of disgust to explore Ellen's transformation.

Plus: "is she going mad or is it real?" narratives; gnarly body horror; disgusting men; and a Hellraiser 3 ending.
