This was nearly an episode about Lesbian Vampire Killers. Instead, we we have chosen the 1970s vampiric gothic horror masterpiece, The Vampire Lovers starring Ingrid Pitt and Peter Cushing. Is it actually scary? Probably not, but vampires are inherently queer and this one is actually a lesbian! This is a queer movie watch party for your ears, hosted by Rowan Ellis and Jazza John. Join us as we take a look at the queer film canon, one genre at a time. From rom-coms to slashers, contemporary arthouse cinema to comedy classics - Queer Movie Podcast is a celebration of all things queer on the silver screen! New episodes every other Thursday.

Boyd Transcript [Intro Music] JAZZA:  Welcome to the Queer Movie Podcast, celebrating the best. ROWAN:  And worst. JAZZA:  In LGBTQ+ cinema. One glorious genre at a time. ROWAN:  I'm Rowan Ellis. JAZZA:  And I'm Jazza John. Each episode we discuss a movie from a different genre of cinema. ROWAN:  This episode, genre is-- ROWAN & JAZZA:  Queer Horror..  JAZZA:  [vampire laugh] ROWAN:  Thanks, Jazza. JAZZA:  But, before we dive into this week's episode, Rowan, what's the gayest thing you've done since we last spoke? ROWAN:  Well, this is actually something that I've wanted to do for a long time. But every time I've tried to do it, there's been a It's not been available for me. And that is volunteering for a Queer Organization specifically for a Queer Youth Group or kind of youth mentoring organization, something like that. And there's, sadly not a lot of them in London, and a lot of them kind of were at capacity or weren't doing their services because of COVID. But at the beginning of the year, I applied and I've just found out today that I've been accepted, so I'm very excited. I've got to do some training, obviously, very soon, but yeah, I'm gonna get to do some mentoring. JAZZA:  It's gonna be so cool. And you're officially becoming a Queer Elder-- ROWAN:  Oh my God. JAZZA:  --soon anyway, aren't you? ROWAN:  Yeah, I am. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  In a week's time, I will indeed hit 30 and therefore-- JAZZA:  Good then. ROWAN:  --become an OAP. JAZZA:  Uh-huh. As a as a cis gay man, I stopped aging at 24. So let me know-- ROWAN:  You never will reach that, yeah, I'll let you know what it's like. JAZZA:  Awesome. Thank you so much. ROWAN:  And Jazza, what's the gayest thing that you've done since we last spoke? JAZZA:  So recently, the UK started lifting lockdown restrictions, right? And we were able to have familiar relations again. I had relations with an individual and was able for the first time to actually complete a full session of prep. Do you know how prep works? ROWAN:  I was wondering where you were going with it. I was like, complete a full session of what? JAZZA:  Yeah, it's not session-- ROWAN:  --[2:00] I was like a full, a full session of-- JAZZA:  A full of [2:03] like a-- ROWAN:  --[2:03] relations, you able to what? JAZZA:  I full cycle, a full cycle of [2:06]. ROWAN:  Pretty you. JAZZA:  So I do have that you're able to get it on the NHS now. And it is for anybody who doesn't know a medication that prevents you from getting HIV. And how it works is you're meant to take it two hours before you have relations. And then afterwards you've had relations in order to properly protect yourself. In the past, I have only ever prepared to have the relations and never had to complete the whole cycle of prep. ROWAN:  Oh my God, that's the saddest thing I've ever heard, that's hilarious. JAZZA:  Is it. ROWAN:  You know what, that was excellent. That was a very good-- JAZZA:  Thank you-- ROWAN:  --gayest thing I've done since [2:42]-- JAZZA:  Yeah yeah ye
