This week we are taking a look at the most unintentionally gay horror film ever made, Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. It's a slasher film so guest star Eddie returns to break down the movie and talk about all the hidden themes within. And yeah, it's chock full of homoerotica with the iconic villain, Freddy, actually standing in as a representation of internalized homophobia and quite possibly the upcoming AIDS crisis. Also, we recorded on National Coming Out Day, and in the middle of the episode, Clark, Adam's boyfriend, publicly came out, so this was a huge deal we briefly talk about and congratulate him for. As always, check us out on social media and send feedback and recommendations @CinemaQueens!
