Movies That Made Us Gay

Latest Episodes:

123. Rosemary's Baby with special guest Muffy Bolding Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

"Witches... All of them witches!" We watched Rosemary's Baby (1968) with our friend the very funny Muffy Bolding and this is no dream - this is really happening! We're not saying we'd make a deal with the devil but a Pre-War 3 bedroom in The Bramford on Central Park West is nothing to scoff at. We always pictured ourselves as Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow); a wisp of a girl with the mod haircut and babydoll wardrobe. Then reality sets in and we realize we're more like Minnie Castevet, played by the incomparable Ruth Gordon, the busybody neighbor with no filter and zero F*cks given. Have we signed away our undying souls to Satan? No... but again - have you seen that apartment?

122. Friday the 13th Part 2 with special guests Jackson Cooper and Pickens Barringer Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

"These kids smoke better dope than I do." We watched Friday the 13th Part 2 with our friends Jackson Cooper and Pickens Barringer and the body count continues! Clocking in at a brisk 87 minutes (shorter than the length of this episode!) this quickie sequel cranks up the scares, the gore and the casual nudity - not to mention the wall-to-wall cute boys. Pretty-boy Scott (Russel Todd), sensitive Mark (Tom McBride), oversexed Jeff (Bill Randolph), even prankster Ted (Stuart Charno) can all hit it six ways to Sunday. Even square head-counselor Paul (John Furey) is serving up major 80's hottie vibes. At the end of the day, final-girl Ginny played by Amy Steel is the real MVP of this one. Donning full Mrs. Voorhees drag, she goops and gags Jason to take the crown and make it out of Camp Crystal Lake alive... barely.

121. Misery (1990) Directed by Rob Reiner Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

"I'm gonna get my Liberace records!" We watched Misery (1990) and we still feel all oogie. From master horror author Stephen King, Misery give us absolute lunatic Annie Wilkes brought to us in an Academy Award winning performance by Kathy Bates. The ultimate super-fan, Wilkes takes obsession to new heights when she holds romance novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) hostage after a near fatal car accident. This movie is so well acted we even buy Sonny Corleone as a romance novelist! Do we all have a little Annie Wilkes in us? Hopefully not too much. But I'll be damned if I'm watching a movie with a less than cohesive plot and I want to just scream... HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE COCK - A - DOODIE CAR!

120. Sleepy Hollow with special guest Billy Roach Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

How's your head? We watched Sleepy Hollow (1999) with our friend and MTMUG Superstar Billy Roach and tonight the horseman comes for you! This movie is peak Tim Burton - we're talking dramatic American-Gothic scenery, Johnny Depp putting on a silly voice, and Lisa Marie scaring the ever loving heck out of us. Not to mention Miranda Richardson in a drag-worthy dual role and Christina Ricci looking like a living Margaret Keen painting. It's funny, scary, definitely campy and at times a straight up gore-fest. Do yourself a favor and revisit Sleepy Hollow. And don't forget… watch your head.

119. Donnie Darko with special guest Michael Morgan Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

"Donnie Darko. What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something." We watched Donnie Darko with MTMUG Superstar Michael Morgan and we have serious doubts about your commitment to Sparkle Motion! It's our first Jake Gyllenhaal review and this movie does not disappoint. Remember when the gays would constantly claim Jake as one of our own? We just couldn't resist that doe-eyed stare. Donnie Darko really put Jake on the mainstream radar. First of all can we talk about this cast? Drew Barrymore's Flower Films production company went to bat to get this movie made and and Drew herself plays Donnie's too-cool English teacher. America's hipster girlfriend and Jakes real-life sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, absolute icon Patrick Swayze and the Legendary Beth Grant, to name a few, round out this stellar ensemble. Is there really an answer to what this movie is actually about? Maybe not - but we try to get to the bottom of it. We'll leave you with this... Cellar Door.

118. Sleeping Beauty with special guest Devin Lotfi Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

"You're living in the past, this is the 14th century." We watched Sleeping Beauty (1959) with our friend Devin Lotfi (I Don't Want To Hear That! Podcast) and we could use some beauty sleep. The last of the Disney Classic fairy tales - until The Little Mermaid was released 30 years later. Nothing comes close to Eleanor Audley's ICONIC performance as Maleficent. We all can agree the Mistress of Evil has got some style! I mean who hasn't let their petty side come out after realizing you weren't invited to the party? Princess Aurora is serving some 1950's Barbie proportions and Prince Phillip is BAE! I mean he fought off all the powers of HELL!!

117. The Little Mermaid with special guest Allison Levitan Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Come on you poor unfortunate soul! We watched The Little Mermaid (1989) with our friend Allison Levitan and we want to be part of your world! If you didn't swim like a mermaid in the swimming pool after watching this movie are you even gay? This movie not only started the Disney animation renaissance, but it launched a thousand gay boys life-long mermaid fascination. Throw in the DREAMY Prince Eric and the Drag Queen Ursula and you have one heck of a homosexual experience. Do you remember where you were when you first realized the Disney animators actually and truly used Divine as visual inspiration for one of the best Disney villains (fight me)? Now SING!

116. Buffy The Vampire Slayer with special guest Jacob Carrillo Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

"You ruined my new jacket! Kill him A LOT!" We watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) with our friend Jacob Carrillo and we still just want to marry Christian Slater and die. Back before Sarah Michelle Gellar and the "Scooby gang" were galavanting around Sunnydale trying to close the Hellmouth, there was the Buffy movie with Kristy Swanson and the oh-so-dreamy Luke Perry. Serving as a jumping-off point for the TV series, the movie itself is super charming with its uber 90's cast, wardrobe and overall aesthetic. Luke Perry in a Caesar cut and soul patch? Swoon! We can't help but draw parallels to the TV series, but we try to keep the conversation aimed towards the movie. I mean they're just SO different - movie Buffy is ash blonde, TV Buffy is honey blonde!

115. Fight Club with special guest Drew Stanley Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

"I want brain parasites." We watched Fight Club (1999) with our friend Drew Stanley and we want you to hit us as hard as you can. It's our TENTH movie from 1999 which just proves it really was the best movie year ever. Not to worry - we don't go too hard on the forensic analysis of this often misunderstood movie. We do however touch on themes of toxic masculinity, hyper violence and the acid-goth-rave wardrobe of Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter. Director David Fincher's ahead of their time visuals were immediately ripped off, firmly placing the visual style of the movie into pop culture history. Ok we get it - how could a movie about a group of shirtless men meeting in a dark basement to pound the living hell out each other possibly have gay undertones? Oh wait.

114. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace with special guest Nikolas Romero Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

"The biggest problem in the universe is that nobody helps each other." We watched Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace with Star Wars superfan Nikolas Romero and we have a bad feeling about this. It's a tale as old as time… taxation of trade routes, arguments on the senate floor, you know - kid stuff. The script may have it's problems but we have a special place in our hearts for this endearing, while flawed, scifi classic. Maybe the political intrigue goes on a bit too long but this movie did bestow onto the world Natalie Portman's Queen Amidala and her killer wardrobe, super-dreamy Ewan McGregor as young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Liam Neeson serving in that lace-front as grizzled Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Do we have an extensive Star Wars memorabilia collection? Yes. Is part of that collection numerous Queen Amidala Fashion dolls? Absolutely. Do we agree on who exactly is the Phantom Menace? Not at all.
