Gay Directors Month #1: FLATLINERS (1990)

For the first week of Gay Directors Month, we explore Joel Schumacher’s (ostensibly) fun 1990 (ostensibly) horror project FLATLINERS!

We crossed over to the other side and brought back with us some questionable audio quality, so we apologize for that. Please join us as we review the film in spite of the fact that Sergio only saw maybe 25 minutes of it. It’s a surprisingly rewarding conversation, to be honest.
