Bleed With Me HorrorPodcast
A queer feminist-fronted podcast about all things horror. Every episode Micaela Superstar and Sean Bottai greet a new guest to talk movies, tv, games, books, comics, artists, music or anything that falls under dark, spooky, thrilling horror. BWM discusses why we love being scared, why we obsess over monsters and villains, how horror has shaped us and helped us through the many tropes it has to offer people who feel “othered” and invisible, and why blood is so cool. A hilarious, raunchy, inebriated, but well-informed take on the genre with weirdos who have very open minds.
Listen every other Wednesday when Sean picks a hidden or forgotten horror film to discuss and decide whether or not Micaela would resurrect or re-bury the film.

Sean Bottai is co-host of the Bleed With Me Horror podcast. He lives in Tucson, Arizona where he spends most of his time writing, reading genre fic, doing improv, professoring, podcasting, parading around, partying, engaging in shenanigans, clowning on jabronis, telling tall tales, rolling his eyes, getting high and watching horror movies, and not eating Nerds or Candy Corn or Circus Peanuts or any candy, really, but eating basically everything else.
