Heidi N Closet and Crystal Methyd Dish on Their Horror Film 'Slay'

In the latest episode of Pop Culture Weekly, Kyle McMahon talks with Drag Queens Heidi N Closet and Crystal Methyd about horror and their new Tubi film 'Slay'!

The world of horror movies has seen its fair share of protagonists, from the final girl to the unlikely hero, but never before have drag queens taken the spotlight in a horror-comedy as they have in the new film 'Slay'. The latest episode of my show, Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon dives into the unique blend of horror, humor, and heart with drag queens Heidi N Closet and Crystal Methyd, stars of the film that has made its debut on Tubi.

The episode, "Unveiling 'Slay': Drag Queens Heidi in Closet & Crystal Method on Horror, Acceptance, and Silver Screen Dreams," provides an intimate glimpse into the journey of these two queens from their conservative Southern upbringings to their silver screen dreams. Starting with a spirited discussion about the film 'Slay', where horror and camp collide in a narrative that delivers a powerful message about acceptance and triumph over adversity. I delve into how Heidi and Crystal's personal experiences resonate with the film's inclusive spirit, illustrating how drag can be a unifying force that builds community connections, especially within conservative environments.

Transitioning from live performances to a film set posed new challenges for the Queens, who were accustomed to the instant gratification of live audience feedback. They share their experiences of embracing the complexities of their characters and finding fulfillment in their roles, despite the lack of immediate audience response. Both guests reveal their excitement and awe in seeing their personas magnified on the silver screen and their joy in participating in action-packed fight scenes.

The episode then celebrates the film's blend of creativity and humor and you know I asked for a sequel to 'Slay'. Plus, we recount amusing on-set anecdotes, the surreal experience of acting in a film, and their aspirations that brought them to this point. And of course, the emotional moments at the wrap of the movie, the anticipation of seeing the final cut, and the thrill of officially becoming scream queens are all shared with a blend of humor and honesty that only two Queens can.

This episode of Pop Culture Weekly offers not only a behind-the-scenes look at 'Slay' but also serves as a reminder of the evolving landscape of horror films. With drag queens taking the lead, 'Slay' breaks new ground and offers a refreshing take on the genre that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

For fans of horror, comedy, and drag, 'Slay' is a must-watch, and this podcast episode is the perfect companion to enhance the viewing experience. So, grab your popcorn (or perhaps your finest heels), tune into the episode, and prepare to root for these queens as they "sashay away" from the ordinary and into the extraordinary world of horror-comedy.
