CW: Rape, suicide, cutting, violence involving animals\n\nIt\u2019s Broken Romantics Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey relate to some very awkward weirdos in two films about introverts with murderous fetishes.\n\nThe Classic Film: Martin (1977)\n"A young man, who believes himself to be a vampire, goes to live with his elderly and hostile cousin in a small Pennsylvania town where he tries to redeem his blood-craving urges\u201d (IMDb.com). This under-remembered Romero classic throws out almost every vampire trope to show humanity's cursed desires in the hot light of day. \n\nThe Modern Film: May (2002)\n"A socially awkward veterinary assistant with a lazy eye and obsession with perfection descends into depravity after developing a crush on a boy with perfect hands\u201d (IMDb.com). A surprisingly fun, little-known horror flick (thanks for the recommendation, Benny!), May surprised us with its wahjah, relatable humor, and charming killer protagonist.\n\nAudio Sources:\n"Make It With You" written by David Gates and performed by Bread\n\u201cMartin\u201d (Film) produced by Laurel Entertainment Inc. \n"Martin" (Song) written by Marc Almond & Dave Ball and performed by Soft Cell\n\u201cMay\u201d produced by 2 Loop Films & A Loopy Production LLC\n"Pet Sematary" written by Dee Dee Ramone & Daniel Rey and performed by The Ramones
