Extended explorations into the mines of Bad Gay Movie Mountain can have unintended consequences, such as lowered quality expectations and alcoholism. We begin to exhibit symptoms of both these side effects as we tackle the objectively crummy yet (relative to the rest of this season) comparatively competent, Into the Lion’s Den (2011). Tied with Chinatown and Mulholland Drive for Matt’s favorite movie of all time, this toothless thriller/horror about a small group of city gays discovering a deadly manifestation of rural homophobia struggles to capture or explore the paranoid fear of the promising premise. Join us for an ASMR-off, a lot of time with Johnny’s cadaver, and slurred words out the wazoo this week on Ex Rated Movies!
