You mean there's the chance of mugwump jism in Queer?

Blimey. I don't think I've seen NAKED LUNCH since it was new and I was much too much much of a baby to understand it at all. Read the Burroughs book two years ago (didn't really like it but I'm looking forward to the film), and my oh MY, does Peter Weller utterly inhabit that character.

When this popped up in Queer I was immediately very taken aback and could only mentally compare it to the Cronenberg film, in which Guardagnino's consistently fell short

Embarrassed humblebrag: Cronenberg mentioned it in an upcoming interview we did and I had forgotten until then. Sent me down a lil iMovie rabbit hole on my phone 🤣
