Manage episode 489822157 series 62295
In honor of Pride Month, we’re taking a look back at an important title from queer cinema history. Our guest, Caden Mark Gardner, is the co-author (with Willow Maclay) of Corpses, Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema – he picked this Vincente Minnelli classic for us to watch! Then, we choose which flawed movies we’d edit (and how we’d amend them) to make them work for us.
You can stream Tea and Sympathy across lots of platforms, or check your local library.
What’s Good
Alonso - Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 (sort of)
Drea - Katya in the Criterion Closet
Caden - dog ownership (and traveling to LA for event)
Kevin - first hot dog in a while, best ever
ITIDIC

- “Robert Rich” (secret alias of a blacklisted Dalton Trumbo) is Nominated for Best Screenwriter for The Brave One
