    Oct 8 2025

    Here we go, it's Season 2! Kicking things off with the nightmares and dreamscapes of David Lynch's Hollywood, including the wig that made Naomi Watts. Do you feel like maybe you're at the end of your rope and ready to cash in all your dreams and just give up? Maybe not the best movie to watch right now. Or the perfect movie to watch right now. We'll leave that one to you. There's plenty of queer stuff to mine here besides the obvious lesbian sex, which isn't even really that queer - so, sit back, silencio, and remember: this is all a tape recording.

  • A.I. Artificial Intelligence
    Sep 10 2025

    What is the nature of consciousness? Will we ever have a child actor the likes of Haley Joel Osment again? Does "protect the dolls" extend to little robot boys? Take our hand and come with us to a magical land, just like Jude Law's robot gigolo took that little robot boy's hand. Flesh fairs, fascism, and the terror of parenthood. This gorgeous nightmare has it all. Final episode of the season, and we don't disappoint! Frankly, this is a really trans movie. Find out how!

    Aug 27 2025

    Get your tissues, gurl. This is for the kids who love to cry. And laugh, and cry, and laugh, and then cry again. I know we love it. This movie asks, among other questions, what does it mean to be a woman? And while right-wing pundits hammer that question home for nefarious reasons, we have a much more heartfelt answer brought to us via power-house performances by Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Featuring MacLaine's famous Oscar line "I deserve this, thank you." Now let's hold hands and endure what this podcast (and life) has in store for us.

  • Schizopolis
    Aug 20 2025

    I was too embarrassed to tell Steven Soderbergh how much I loved him while I was working for him, so instead we made this podcast about one of his most interesting and least recognized movies. What's queer about this one? Mainly how the nature of heartbreak and self doubt can rend reality and make you a stranger to yourself. Deep stuff! Great movie! Maybe Soderbergh will listen? Steven, call me.

  • Close Encounters of the Third Kind
    Aug 13 2025

    Is this Richard Dreyfuss at his most Bushwick homosexual? Is leaving your family to climb aboard an alien spaceship a form of queer liberation? Do multi-jointed spider-humanoid aliens qualify as twinks because they're thin and hairless? Well, I don't know if you care to have those questions answered, but in this episode we sure try. Check it out!

  • Punch-Drunk Love
    Aug 6 2025

    Is it only natural to be envious of Paul Thomas Anderson's career? Is Emily Watson an alien? Could a movie like this survive modern neurodivergence discourse without becoming a movie about two autistic adults falling in weird love? Let's revisit one of the best romcoms of our romantic teenage years and find out. SHUT-SHUT-SHUT the door, draw the blinds, and come join us.

    This one is for the film buffs. This one is NOT for people who really love cats. We discuss weird teenage bodies, dire socioeconomic situations, and Chloe Sevigny kissing Bunny Boy. Is this a science fiction movie? Not really, but Werner Herzog certainly seems to think so. Is he right? Let's find out!

    Do you have main character syndrome? As maladjusted queers, we certainly do. Know who REALLY had main character syndrome? Truman Burbank. Named for the giant soundstage that consumed the town of Burbank CA in The Truman Show. Come with us as we sail off and break free from this heteronormative cookie-cutter life the same way he did. Let's go!
