Scream, Queen!
Although this podcast is no longer producing new content, I think it's definitely still worth a listen. Described as 'a podcast about scary movies, by people not typically depicted in scary movies', 'Scream, Queen!' brings us various discussions on horror films from a black/queer/indigenous perspective. Run by Domino Squad and hosted by Drea Washington and Tommy Pico, each episode a take on various horror films. It's also just finished up its first season so if you're in for a binge, they've got you.
Side-note: whoever wrote the episode titles for this podcast is a bloody genius and I appreciate them so much. My fav is 'Sabrina and the Manic Pixie Bisexual Sex Torture Demons'... like, omg yes I want to listen to this! XD
