Little Shop of Horrors (with Hamish Steele)

This time around, we're very excited to be joined by Hamish Steele, creator of the comics Deadendia and Go-man!, as well as the Netflix animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park. Hamish has brought us the cult classic comedy horror musical Little Shop of Horrors (1986), a film that's practically oozing with queer and trans vibes. We discuss how the film manages to be both goofy and sincere, Rick Moranis' inherent t-boy swag, and how a mean green mother' from outer space can represent both capitalism and toxic masculinity.

CW: Discussions of domestic abuse, transphobia, sadism, misogyny, death, murder, racism, AIDS
