Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is available to watch on many streaming platforms, including Tubi, PlutoTV, Hoopla, Prime Video, and The Roku Channel.

Debaser continues our Pride Month celebration with an indie darling film from the writer and director of The Florida Project which also stars two transgender actresses: Tangerine.

How did Sean Baker get that cab passenger to vomit like that? What exciting new segments launch in this episode? Does Jared pitch a format change for the show? Listen to find out!

Tangerine is available to watch on many streaming platforms, including Max, Hoopla, and Kanopy.

It's Pride Month! To celebrate, Debaser begins by covering a queer erotic thriller that was John Waters' favorite film of 2024: Love Lies Bleeding.

What did our hosts make of this sexually charged, lesbian bodybuilding love story? How fucking sick is Katy O'Brian in this film? Did out hosts get a little too loopy from recording in a hot garage and proceed to talk extensively about dreading upcoming franchise films? Listen to find out!

Part One of Two! We talked about Blade for over FOUR HOURS in total, which makes sense because this movie rules.

Will & Jared are joined by special guests Alex and Nicole to discuss the R-rated 1998 hit comic book movie that arguably started it all: Blade.

Why can't Marvel seem to get the Blade reboot off the ground? Is Wesley Snipes the GOAT? Was this episode just an excuse for Jared to repeat quotes from the movie? Is Deacon Frost hot? How gay IS Jared, exactly? Listen to find out!

Will & Jared begin a new mini-series delving into the comic book movies of the past, the very specific past, between 1995 and 2005. Years before the MCU or The Dark Knight. Back when comic book movies weren't exactly taken seriously, and certainly weren't the dominant topic of conversation in film and media.

We begin with a foray into a oft-forgotten big budget spectacle that spawned multiple headlines due to clashes between its star and director. A film with such a troubled production that afterwards both of these men would retire from the industry. A premise too good to ignore, but a film rushed into production before the inspirational comic was even finished printing. Will & Jared discuss the 2003 blockbuster The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Does this film slap despite its awful RT score? How well do the effects hold up and is Mr. Hyde practical? What was up with that prequel to 28 Days Later? Listen to find out!
