Trash Humpers is Harmony Korine’s latest film, shot and edited entirely on VHS and featuring a “loser-gang cult-freak collective” that smashes TVs, eats pancakes with dishwashing liquid instead of syrup, hangs out with overweight singing hookers, and yes, humps trash. Korine speaks on the phone from Nashville but got up mid-interview to try to tase a convict on a bike for throwing lemons and limes at his house.

Bruce LaBruce is ready to leave the blood behind but not without one final splatter. A self-described “reluctant pornographer,” Bruce’s films feature as many romantic moments as they do scenes of explicit sex. For every gut- or stump-fuck, there is a glance or line so heartfelt I can’t help but think Bruce LaBruce’s sincerity is his most dangerous weapon.
