To follow-up our Valentine's Day special on After Midnight, we're reviewing Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (1981) from director William Asher! What's the connection between the two movies? Like most things on our podcast, it's thoroughly quirky. But whatever the reason, this movie made for a great conversation and made for an excuse to invite a great guest onto the pod: writer John Lees! We've been thoroughly enjoying John's work on comics like The Crimson Cage, Mountainhead and more, so we definitely encourage you to check out John's work on his Big Cartel page here: https://johnleescomics.bigcartel.com/ John also has a terrific Patreon page with lots of behind-the-scenes content, which can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/johnlees And as always, thank you so much for listening! CW: the movie includes elements of incest and sexual assault, and those items are likewise mentioned in the movie discussion To view the links mentioned in our episode introduction: *link to the Transgender Education Network of Texas: https://www.transtexas.org/ *the twitter thread from the George A Romero Foundation: https://twitter.com/theGARFofficial/status/1497381019183423490 *more details on the Tenebrous Press anthology Your Body Is Not Your Body: https://tenebrouspress.com/blog/2022/2/23/submissions-open-for-short-fiction-to-benefit-trans-youth-in-texas
