Slaughterhouse-Five: A Queer Cinema Catchup and Banned Camp Review

In this crossover episode of Queer Cinema Catchup, Allison and Joe are thrilled to be joined again by Dan and Jennifer of Banned Camp to discuss the 1972 film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's semi-autobiographical science fiction novel Slaughterhouse-Five (1969). Together they delve into changes from the book to screen, as well as the story's anti-war message; its narrative structure; and its historical and modern relevance to the dangers of censorship.
