94. Notes on a Scandal with special guest Paul from That Aged Well Podcast Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

You know it's rude to read a persons diary, it's private! We watched Notes on a Scandal (2006) with our friend Paul from That Aged Well Podcast and sometimes we all feel like bitter old virgins. New art teacher Sheba Hart (Cate Blanchett) catches the attention of cynical "battle ax" Barbara Covett (Judy Dench). Sheba's affair with a fifteen-year-old student becomes a tool in Barbara's plot to manipulate and possess Sheba and the antics ensue. The "predatory lesbian" tropes aside, this movie is high-camp melodrama worthy of midnight screenings and drag queen lip syncs. The once mousy Sheba taunting Babs with her own diary entries has us cackling every time. "You think this is a love affair?!" The intense score by Phillip Glass and the tight 92 minute runtime only add to the list of reasons to watch this movie today!

93. Mermaids (1990) Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

Don't do anything I wouldn't do... or don't do anything I WOULD! We watched Mermaids (1990) and we're gonna get in our mermaid car and get the mermaid outta here! This movie is filled with a holy trinity of raven haired gay icons. Mrs. Flax (Cher) is the cha-cha mom of our dreams to daughters Charlotte (Winona Ryder) and Kate (Christina Ricci). Catholic envy (while Jewish), lost virginity to the dreamy Michael Schoeffling (Sixteen Candles) and 60's Halloween costumes abound in this sweet coming of age comedy. And don't forget Bob Hoskins giving us cuddly bear hotness. We would pay real money for his portrait of Cher as Cleopatra.

92. The Fan with special guest Jeff Nelson Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

We needed hearts, not diamonds! We watched The Fan (1981) with the very funny Jeff Nelson and we could use a warm cup of High Point coffee! Lauren Bacall plays a Broadway actress with an obsessive fan played by Michael Biehn who may, or may not be a closet-case (spoiler alert: he totally is). A pre-Terminator (sexy as hell) Biehn spends the movie typing explicit letters to Sally Ross (Bacall) but is rejected at every turn. Maureen Stapleton as Sally's no-nonsense secretary and James Garner as Sally's would-be love interest round out the cast and when the three of them shared the screen I could smell the second hand smoke from their voices alone. The play within the movie is the most homosexual thing I've seen in a long time - and this is the same movie with Michael Biehn jumping into a YMCA pool in his boxer shorts. In New York City. In 1981. You do the math.

91. Mommie Dearest with special guest Jackson Cooper Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

Barbara please! We watched Mommie Dearest (1981) with the very funny Jackson Cooper and we meet "the biggest Mother of them all!" Faye Dunaway's performance as Joan Crawford is high camp, high drama and we can't look away! This movie cemented itself as a gay camp classic the minute Faye turns around and reveals Joans face in the first scene of the movie. Is Joan a villain or just misunderstood? Whatever the case may be she did what needed to be done! If you know someone who hasn't seen this movie - it is your duty as a gay to sit them down and make sure they watch every moment!

90. Return to Oz with special guest Goldyn Gunville Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

Nothing can scare the ever living hell out of you like an 80's kids movie. We watched Return to Oz (1985) with our friend Goldyn Gunville and we're scarred for life. Fairuza Balk is Dorothy in this Disney take on Oz and Auntie Em (Piper Laurie) is hauling her off to electro-shock therapy within the first 10 minutes of the movie. The rest of the film is a fever dream of screaming headless witches, wheeled terrors, sass-mouth talking chickens and cross dressing stop-motion rock people. And we are loving every minute of it. They don't make kids movies like this anymore!

89. The Parent Trap with special guest Rufino Cabang Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

We watched The Parent Trap (1961) with our friend Rufino Cabang and we're seeing double! We're not saying the original classic from the 60's is superior to the remake 90's remake but... ok yes we are. It's better. Haley Mills is delightful as twins separated by their selfish... I mean misguided recently divorced parents. How this cockamamie plan got past family court is a mystery but it makes for an amazing movie. It's got everything; split-screen movie magic, fabulous mid-century modern ranch style homes and a swinging soundtrack featuring Disney mainstay Annette Funicello. Who wouldn't want to spend summers with Miss Inch and go home to foxy Brian Keith? Sign us up!

88. Party Girl with special guest Bright Light Bright Light Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

Your mother was a woman with no common sense! We watched Party Girl (1995) with Bright Light Bright Light and we want a career in library science! Parker Posey is iconic as our hero Mary. A killer wardrobe, a perfect party apartment and connections in mid-90's NYC nightlife - she is our spirit animal. OK, she needs to work on the casual racism, shoplifting and narcissism - but every hero needs an arc. Mary's world is filled with club kids, DJs, drag queens and insanely hot street vendors. The New York City of the 90's is gone, but we'll always Party Girl. Re-Code it!

87. The Great Muppet Caper with special guest Lex Apro Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

My name is Miss Piggy, and I would like to be a high-fashion model. We watched The Great Muppet Caper (1981) with our friend Lex Apro and modeling is our destiny... we will accept nothing less. The amount of glamour in this movie is off the charts: The flawless Diana Rigg as fashion designer Lady Holiday; Miss Piggy as her put-upon receptionist with dreams of being a mo-dell;The uber-80's super-models/cat-burglars. Miss Piggy's model look-book alone is worth the price of admission. We also get some great dance numbers including a full on Busby Berkeley style synchronized swimming number with Miss Piggy under water!! And you thought Kermit riding a bike was a miracle of film-making!!

86. Pretty in Pink with special guest Amber Shaw Feb 12, 2021

Show notes

It's the best high school movie of the 80's with the worst prom dress committed to film. We watched Pretty in Pink (1986) with our friend Amber Shaw and we wan't a candy machine in the boy's restroom! John Hughes' masterpiece of the class struggle in American high schools is as timely today as it was in the consumerist 80's. Molly Ringwald's "grandma-chic" Andy is relatable without being a MarySue and Duckie (Jon Cryer) is the archetype coded gay best friend. Is Blane (Andrew McCarthy) too much of a wimp for Andy? Maybe. Do we still strive to be as cool as Iona (Annie Potts)? Definitely. Was Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) redundant? We talk about these questions and so much more in Episode 86 of Movies That Made Us Gay!

85. What Lies Beneath with special guest Lauren Ogle Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

We wish to Communi-CATE with the spirit. We watched What Lies Beneath (2000) and something is happening in our house! It's not too often you get two powerhouse leads sharing the screen and Robert Zemeckis made it happen with two of our most charismatic movie stars. It helps they're both easy on the eyes. Michelle Pfeiffer is everything as housewife slowly unravelling before our very eyes and Harrison Ford is the stuff daddy's are made of. Are there actually ghosts in this house? Did he have something to do with that missing girl? Are the sex crazed neighbors just swingers trying to send a message? The answer to these questions and more lie within episode 85 of Movies That Made Us Gay!
