    Humpday (2009)

    Conrad and Joe kick off a new theme on 'Gay Panic' with a look at Lynn Shelton's Humpday (2009).

    Starring Mark Duplass and The Blair Witch Project's Joshua Leonard, the film explores the intersection of intimacy and sex when estranged heterosexual friends drunkenly decide to make a sex tape as an art project.

    It's a sitcom-level premise executed to surprisingly good effect (thanks to great direction and excellent lead performances).

    Also: Ana is the best.

    Conrad and Joe tackle their second Jean-Marc Vallée title with 2013's Dallas Buyers Club.

    Starring Matthew McConaughey (in full McConaughassance) as real life figure Ron Woodroof, this is more biopic than HIV/AIDS text.

    Plus: Jennifer Garner as patron saint of queer films; bemoaning Jared Leto's presence and the depiction of a transwoman; and why the film's message about medicine is troubling.

    Angels In America: Perestroika (2003)
    Jul 2 2026

    Conrad and Joe return to discuss the back half of Mike Nichols' multi-award winning HBO limited series, Angels in America.

    Does the series pay off its lengthy time commitment? Does the visual scope of the production justify its costly expense? And who is the real villain of the piece?

    Plus: Conrad's frustration with the ending; baring all (nudity!); and not caring about Mary-Louise Parker's final monologue
