This week we bring you something notably less moist than the Alien movies! It's a movie about art that kills you (and of course all the assholes in the art market who join in along the way). We've got bisexual Jake Gyllenhaal. We've got neurotic John Malkovich. We've got absolutely magic (and gay) Rene Russo! What more could you want? If you answer was murderous monkeys, well, somehow you're in luck. It's Velvet Buzzsaw time!
Topics of Discussion:
- The magic of Gyllenhaal
- Malkovich!
- I built a railroad!
- No you didn't you white son of a bitch!
- Put your hand in me and see what happens!

- Magic monkeys of the ghost gas station and other Goosebumps titles
- Poor Coco
- My respect for your work has evaporated
- Always a critic, never a mourner
- What's the point of art if it's never seen?

What is Progressively Horrified?
A podcast that holds horror to standards horror never agreed to. Hosts Jeremy Whitley, Ben Kahn, Emily Martin and guests watch, read, listen to, and check out movies, tv shows, comics, books, art and anything else from the horror genre and discuss it through a progressive lens. We'll talk feminism in horror, LGBTQ+ issues and representation in horror, racial and social justice in horror, disability and mental health/illness in horror, and the work of female and POC directors, writers, and creators in horror.
We're the podcast horror never agreed to take part in.
