S1E19 - A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

"The man of your dreams is back!"

Literally agreed on by many critics as "the gayest horror movie ever" and certainly a now classic gay cult film, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge is much deeper than the average slasher sequel would have you believe. More tinged by the story that happened behind the scenes rather than the plot itself, Freddy's Revenge is a curious glance into the pre-AIDS crisis era of the mid 80's that shows us that even gay media can sometimes shine through in tough times. This episode we talk about 80's homophobia, gay squashing media, and the importance of sweaty teens.
