We wanted to cap off Spooky Season with a true classic\u2014and so we\u2019re covering one of the most beloved films in the adult male genre. FALCONHEAD II throws us back into Michael Zen\u2019s haunting realm of narcissistic self love, but with a few key twists. We\u2019re no longer in a trippy 70\u2019s atmosphere but, instead, a foreboding 80\u2019s new wave space, complete with lush dark synths. We follow Derek as he\u2019s thrown into a journey literally to hell and back, one replete with tempting cherry twinks, bearded brides, dick twins, and tattooed love boys. In this episode, we dive into what led Zen to make this sequel nearly a decade after the original, as well as the ways FALCONHEAD II builds off of the Orpheus myth to explore gay narcissism in new ways. After discussing distinctive tattoos and the tabloid notoriety of the titular actor, we consider whether we personally prefer the first or second chapter of the Falconhead myth. Regardless of which one we like more, both movies are truly artistic\u2014and truly hot\u2014classics that you should scout out. And while you\u2019re still in the Halloween spirit, make sure to check out the rest of our Spooky Season selections from this year and last year! (It turns out ghost dick and haunted hole was more popular a sub-genre that we thought.) You\u2019ll get to hear our coverage of not only the first FALCONHEAD, but also several other gems, such as the psychedelic doppelg\u00e4nger tale THE DESTROYING ANGEL, the bizarrely darling GAYRACULA\u2014and our *free* bonus on SEX DEMON. Happy listening\u2014and watch out for fangs. ","author_name":"Cruising the Movies","author_url":"http:\/\/askanybuddy.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
