The Steamy Sexual Politics of ‘Wild Things’ [Horror Queers Podcast]

Gator Chic.

After kicking off the month of March with a look at some classic queer cinema in Robert Wise’s The Haunting, we unlocked the Patreon vault and re-released our super-sized episode on Scream (2022). Now, in honor of spring break, we’re heading back into the world of erotic thrillers with a look at John McNaughton‘s 1998 classic Wild Things.

Wild Things sees teen debutante Kelly (Denise Richards) fail to attract the attention of her hunky guidance counselor, Sam (Matt Dillon). She then accuses him of rape, igniting a scandal that results in his arrest. Sam appeals to Ken (Bill Murray), a hack personal-injury lawyer who has never handled a case that couldn’t be helped by a prop neck brace. But when a second victim, Suzie (Neve Campbell), comes forward, local detective Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) discovers that the unfolding case is far from what it seems.

Episode 221: Wild Things (1998)

Get ready for an episode filled with overshares because we’re talking the hot & steamy sexual politics of John McNaughton’s 1998 classic Wild Things! Joining us for the conversation are the hosts of the People Under the Scares podcast: Bobby Torrez and Mike Brown!

Put your thinking caps on as we try to pick apart this tangled web of a(n admittedly entertaining) plot while lamenting the exclusion of a key queer relationship and the inclusion of Neve Campbell’s climactic wig. Oh yeah, and Kevin Bacon’s iconic full frontal nude scene.

Plus: false rape accusations, prosthetic pussy, penis casts, cum vs. come and a deleted scene that completely changes the way you view the film (hint: it involves incest!).


Cross out Wild Things!

Coming up on Wednesday: We’re heading back into the world of creature features with a look at Toby Wilkins’ under-seen gem Splinter.

P.S. Subscribe to our Patreon for more than 233 hours of additional content! This month, we’ve got episodes on on The Outwaters, HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us, 65 and, of course, Scream VI, along with an audio commentary on The Strangers: Prey at Night.
