New Horror Film “They/Them” (AUDIO)

This week I talked with Brazilian actor & musician Darwin Del Fabro about the new horror film “They/Them” (pronounced “They Slash Them”) he’s featured in. The slasher film is written & directed by John Logan & produced by Blumhouse Productions. “They/Them” had its World Premier at the Outfest film festival in Los Angeles last month & will have its streaming premier on Peacock beginning August 5th. “They/Them” is a queer empowerment story set at a controversial LGBTQ conversion camp & stars Kevin Bacon as Owen Whistler the camp director, Carrie Preston as Dr. Cora Whistler Owen’s wife, Anna Chlumsky as nurse Molly & joined by seven campers played by Theo Germaine, Quei Tann, Anna Lore, Monique Kim, Darwin, Cooper Koch & Austin Crute. The campers come from all different backgrounds. Kim (Anna Lore) & Stu (Cooper Koch) come from affluent families & are reluctant to address their sexual orientations. Then there’s Quei Tann’s Alexandra who faces being disowned by her family unless she successfully completes the camp’s regiment & Toby (Austin Crute) who negotiated a free trip in trade for his stay as camper Veronica (Monique Kim) attempts to work through her bisexuality while Gabriel (Del Fabro) wants to feel accepted after being bullied for so long. As the camp's methods become increasingly concerning & extremely unsettling the campers must work together to protect themselves especially when an axe murderer begins covertly claiming victims & they must figure out if this butchering culprit could be one of them. I talked to Darwin about what he hopes “They/Them” will accomplish & his spin on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN
