POPCORN (1991) with DAN DOMINGUES & PETER ADAMSON

Author: Patrick K. Walsh June 4, 2021 Duration: 1:44:47

"Everything's a movie to me..."

Kick off your Pride Month festivities with this deep dive into the movie that was meta before meta was cool, the moviehouse movie-within-a-movie massacre motion picture POPCORN from 1991.

Tucked inside all the Grand Guignol fun, we'll be putting a special focus on the closeted life and tragic death of the film's star, TOM VILLARD.

Joining me are world-famous actor and host of the HOT DATE podcast DAN DOMINGUES and future PsychoBiddy PETER ADAMSON.

A group of film students falls prey to a fiendish face-stealing killer who is turning old school movie gimmicks against them with deadly results.

POPCORN was directed by MARK HERRIER and stars JILL SCHOELIN, DEE WALLACE, TOM VILLARD, KELLY JO MINTER, TONY ROBERTS and RAY WALSTON.

Dive into the archives with ScreamQueenz Classics, curated by Patrick K. Walsh. This podcast serves as the central hub for a fascinating collection of shows, all exploring horror through a distinctly queer lens. Think of it as your weekly appointment with the strange and the spooky from decades past. You'll find yourself immersed in retrospectives like DAMN YOU UNCLE LEWIS, which meticulously unpacks the cult TV series *Friday the 13th: The Series*. Another show in the rotation, IT CAME FROM THE 70s, resurrects the unique charm and terror of made-for-television horror movies from the disco decade. For long-time fans and newcomers alike, SCREAMQUEENZ RESURRECTION offers a treasure trove of vintage conversations from the network's first groundbreaking decade. This ever-growing library, known as the ScreamQueenz Podiverse, is proudly noted as the first of its kind. New installments from these various series drop every Friday, rotating to keep the content fresh. With plans to expand the roster with more shows in 2026, this podcast is a living, breathing archive for anyone passionate about the intersections of television, film history, and queer perspectives on classic horror. It's less about simple reviews and more about deep, affectionate excavation.
