Summary

Joe and Trace dress as $10 hookers and enter uncharted vaginal territory with David Cronenberg's gynaecological horror film Dead Ringers! Listen as Joe schools Trace on all things Canadian horror, including a crash course on the Canadian identity (whatever that means). The boys get up to their elbows in discussions of vaginal mutilation, gay panic and that absolutely bonkers surgery sequence featuring period blood-red KKK/nun's habit outfits. And just how the hell do you pronounce cinematographer Peter Suschitzky's name? Finally, they ask the million dollar question: is there a queer twincestual relationship going on between brothers Beverly and Elliott? Questions? Comments? Snark?
