The podcast that bites you back. Jay, Mae, Dave and Kayte talk about the delicious taboos of body horror and cannibalism. Join us as we devour art, movies, books and theory!
Two books we used to talk through Frankenstein are Capitalism: A Horror Story by @thelitcritguy.bsky.social (from @horrorvanguard.bsky.social) and Skin Shows by Jack Halberstam, both excellent reference books for your horror theory library!
This week on @tendersubject.bsky.social, we are joined by comedian @feraljokes.bsky.social
and writer @raygonne.bsky.social to talk Frankenstein. We dissect the book and the 2025 film through queer and Marxist theory and get into why the film often let us down.

Listening to this episode in my car and fondly reminiscing, while they talk about Nicki Brand, of the time that I had a date purely so I could find out what it felt like to get properly whipped and then I handed her to syringes and said “do you wanna pierce my ears?” And she did.
