Hello from Baehr and Curadh, a podcast from the Land of Awes Information Services.
I love you Curadh. I love you Baehr. This is episode 151 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast.
We're going to talk about the top gay movies. This should be interesting, I think. I'm excited
about this. Well, I'm not very good at this though. Me neither. And I started out with
like a list of a hundred gay movies and by the time I whittled out all the ones I'd never
heard of, I was down to 25. Okay, I'll be interested to know if I know most of these
or not. Okay. You want me to start or do you want to start? You start. Okay, the first
one we got is Airplane, 1980. The classic parody of 70s disaster flicks. There's a character
named Johnny portrayed by gay actor Stephen Stucker. In the film, Johnny is a worker in
the control tower helping to save a man a plane. Johnny is gay. He is hilariously stereotypically
gay.
You think so? I think it is. It's over the top, I think. It's freaking hilarious, I mean.
Especially considering 1980. Yeah, I mean it was ahead of its time. It does not portray
gay people in a very good light. No, no, but there's a lot of things that... It's a parody.
Yeah, yeah. People get upset about a lot of things, but if you can't laugh at yourself,
who can you laugh at? It's kind of like saying that Friends is terrible because it has a
few anti-gay jokes. Yeah, you've got to look at the majority of it, you know. There's worse
things. I mean, you look at some of the stuff from the 80s, like Sixteen Candles, for instance,
when the Japanese character climbing in a tree with a bonsai. What was his name? Long
Duck Dong? Long Duck Dong, yeah. Yeah, and he had the... Yeah, they put the bonsai bandana
around him, and yeah.
I mean, the whole squinty eyes, yeah. And when you think about it, Airplane was a parody,
so they're actually making fun of gay stereotypes. Yeah, yeah. So, there's a lot of good one-liners
like we were talking about before. Like what? You ever seen a grown man naked, Bobby? Do
you like gladiator movies? Do you like gladiator movies? It's hilarious, I mean. It's just,
yeah.
It's just, it's one of those, just classic movies, just, you can't beat it. I mean, it's,
I want to watch it now again. But it's one of those that just, a lot of movies don't
hold up. And it's, Airplane's held up, I think. And who would have thought that this would
be on the list of gay movies? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So, it's kind of interesting seeing
that.
Okay. Scary movie, year 2000.
Although the Wayans brothers have a history of hilariously gay comedy in their films,
they've reached their apex with the character of Ray, portrayed by Sean Mayans.
Wayans. Sean Wayans.
Wayans, in Scary Movie 1 and 2. The character of Ray is a jock. He's a jock who has all
the stereotypical earmarks of a flaming homosexual, yet he doesn't believe himself to be gay.
I've never seen any of these movies. I've never, they're out there. I've seen probably
highlights from them.
But I don't think I've ever sat down and watched one.
I would have thought you were a big fan of scary movies.
I mean, the real scary movie, yeah. I mean, but yeah. Isn't this the one with the girl
from Mom?
It's the, oh, I don't know.
Mina Faris?
It's the one with the character in a...
Ghostface?
Kind of like a Grim Reaper outfit.
Yeah, the Ghostface outfit.
Yeah.
But it's a parody on scary movies also.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I've never watched that one.
I never have either, but I know of it.
Yeah.
We went to a Mexican food place once, and I was wearing a shirt that had that figure
on the front of it.
Ghostface.
And he just went, our server, who's obviously gay, just went, he had a tattoo of...
Of Ghostface on it.
On his arm.
Yeah.
Yeah. He has that because of the Scream movies. The original Ghostface is a killer, and he's
more of the... I think he's... In the scary movies, it's doing a parody of the scary movies
called Scream, which were real big in the 90s.
I see.
And Ghostface is the killer, kind of like how Michael Myers was in Halloween. You know
Michael Myers is, right?
Mm-hmm.
Jason, he's the dantier. He's the bad guy. He's the killer in all the shows. He wears
that mask.
He wears that mask. So the guy, the waiter, he was more of a fan about the Ghostface killer
from the movies, I think.
So not the parody, but the movie that they're parodying.
Yeah, exactly.
Do you know anything about Sean Waynes?
Not much. I just know...
Is he one of the Waynes brothers?
Yeah.
I see.
Yeah. There's like five or six of them, I think.
So he's probably playing gay.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah. I think he's one of the younger brothers.
Speaking of playing gay, the guy in the airplane, Stevens Tucker, he died just recently.
Oh, really? I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Brokeback Mountain. Two young men forge a deep bond while herding sheep on Brokeback
Mountain, leading to a complex and secretive romantic relationship that spans over decades.
Yeah, a very good movie.
Did you watch it?
I guess you could say it's a very good movie.
Who was the director?
Yang Li.
Who's done lots of really great movies.
But I don't know.
This one sort of glorified a closet relationship.
Yeah. Well, you've got to think of the time and span that they were covering.
You know what I mean?
It was a no-no.
Even when it was filmed, and it was portraying probably in the '50s, so it was pretty difficult
to have a gay relationship back then.
Very difficult. That movie wrecked me. I cried like a baby.
Oh, yeah. It was so sad.
It was so tragic. It was just very, very sad. I've only seen it a handful of times, because
I generally don't want to put myself through that.
What was that last line? I don't know how to...
I can't fix you. Or, I can't quit you.
I can't quit you.
Yeah.
We need to save that to Trump.
God. You had to go there, didn't you?
The whole mood in the room just deflated.
All right.
Call Me By Your Name, 2017.
Set in 1980s Italy, a passionate summer romance blossoms between a young boy and his father's American assistant,
exploring themes of love and love.
Do you know who's in this?
No, I don't.
You don't?
No. You probably know more about it than I do.
It's Armie Hammer and... what's his name? I'm picturing his face. He was in Dune.
Yeah, I know.
He played Bob Dylan.
I know who you're talking about, but...
What's his name?
I can't think of his name.
It's going to drive me crazy. But he plays in it, too.
Yeah, I know.
He played Bob Dylan.
Yeah, I know.
He played Bob Dylan.
I know who you're talking about, but I can't think of his name.
It's going to drive me crazy. But he plays in it, too.
Yeah, I know.
He plays in it, too.
Yeah, I know.
He played Bob Dylan.
Yeah, I know.
He played Bob Dylan.
I know who you're talking about, but...
What's his name?
I can't think of his name.
It's going to drive me crazy. But he plays in it, too. So, um, Shal... Shal... Shal... Shalameen?
Oh. That's his last name, right?
Yeah, Timothee Chalamet.
Timothee Chalamet.
Okay. Okay. So, there. I thought of it.
Well, these... this movie...
Oh.
Okay.
So, uh, Armie Hammer is kind of, um, problemistic right now.
He's very.
Oh, I think he's starting to come back from that, but for quite a while he was sort of,
uh, persona non grata in Hollywood.
Yeah, he had a very bad image.
Mm-hmm.
And he's a very attractive man, but apparently he's very, uh...
You think so?
I think he's attractive. I think... I mean, he's not gorgeous, but I mean, I think he's
a... he's not ugly.
Mm-hmm.
You know, when it's thrown away.
Mm-hmm.
But he's, uh, from what I understand, he's got a little bit of a... a freak side.
Mm-hmm.
That's... that's the images that he's got in Hollywood, so...
Mm-hmm.
But I don't know. I don't know him personally, so I could care less.
Me neither.
The Handmaiden. Now, this is probably not the handmaiden you were thinking of.
Mm-hmm.
In 1930s Korea, a con woman is hired to be the handmaiden to a Japanese international
to a Japanese heiress, but their relationship becomes complicated as they develop feelings
for each other.
Hmm.
No, nothing... I've heard of it, never watched it.
Mm, me too. Um, but probably don't watch a whole lot of lesbian movies.
No. Not at all.
I don't know. I can't fault myself for that, but I... I can't say it's something I've strived
for either.
Mm-hmm.
It's just that there's a lot of movies to watch and...
Yeah, cause there's only so much time in the day.
Yeah.
So... yeah.
Love, Simon. 2018. A high school student navigates life, love, and coming out to his friends
and family, all while trying to uncover the identity of his anonymous online crush.
Don't know.
I don't think I've ever seen it either.
No, I know. I know I haven't.
It kind of sounds like the Sixteen Candles of recent days.
Oh, so it's more of a comedy?
Well, it's a... it's a movie about young people.
Mm-hmm.
Which is not... not gonna be my thing anymore.
No. Okay.
My Own Private Idaho, 1991. Two friends, one of whom is a narcoleptic street hustler, embark
on a journey of self-discovery...
I'm a terrible fag.
I haven't seen that movie either.
I've heard a lot about it.
I've heard a lot about it, too, but I don't...
The plot doesn't sound familiar to me.
No.
So I probably have not seen it.
Yeah, I remember when it came out, it made a big stink because of what it was covering.
I remember that.
It was more of an artsy film, but it was...
Hmm.
I remember hearing a lot about it, but I never... never saw it.
That's probably something...
I don't know.
Uh-huh.
I don't know.
Hmm.
I have seen a lot of movies with Mark Ruffalo in it just because he's in it and he's pretty
good to look at.
Yeah.
But I have not seen this movie.
Uh-huh.
Maurice.
1987.
That's a long time ago.
In early 20th century England, a young man grapples with his homosexuality in a society
that condemns it, leading to a life-altering decision.
Hmm.
There must be a cliffhanger.
Or something.
'Cause they don't want to say how it ended.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I don't know about that one either.
It's a movie I've heard of, but I've never seen.
It sounds like something I don't know if I want to see, because by the end of it, leading
to a life-altering decision, it sounds like it's a cliffhanger.
And I'll bet it's an artsy kind of film too.
Probably.
All right.
But I'm a cheerleader.
1999.
A high school cheerleader is sent to a conversion therapy camp when her parents have said,
"Be careful.
You'll get hurt."
I don't know.
I'm a cheerleader.
I don't know.
1999. A high school cheerleader
is sent to a conversion therapy camp when her
parents suspect she's a lesbian,
leading to comedic and heartfelt relations.
Yeah, I think
we've both heard of this. Okay.
I don't think either one of us
has seen it, though. I haven't seen it either.
It's like you said,
there's not, it's,
I can't relate to lesbian movies,
so it's hard for me to watch them. That's probably
part of my character flaw, but...
Except this one's a comedy.
I'm picky about comedies, though. I'm terrible.
I'm terrible at comedies. I really am.
I mean, I couldn't tell you that
the last time I sat down and watched something
besides, like, stand-up comedy.
I'll watch stand-up all day long, but I couldn't tell you
the last time I've seen, like, a
sit-down, laugh-out-like
comedy. Because I find them to be
redundant, and most of the time, like you said,
most of the time the funny stuff you see is all
in commercials. Oh, yes.
So it's very... I remember
in my teenage years, there was a
movie called
The...
The something...
She...
Like, The Bad Guy, or
something like that. It was a western.
And
you watch the commercials
on TV for it, it looks like it's
a laugh a minute.
But when you get to the theater, you realize
all the funny jokes were in that commercial.
Yep, exactly.
Yeah, it's just not... And it's been like that for
quite a while. I mean, and I think
a lot of it has to do with just society in general.
I mean, people...
People... There's movies that were out in the
90s and 2000s. There were only 2000s
that they were never shown nowadays
because it would offend people.
You know what I mean? So people... Well, I don't know.
We're probably coming around on that.
Probably. I think people are ready to
line up a little bit more, hopefully, but...
Well, I just mean
DEI is not supposed to
be a thing anymore. Yeah.
Yeah, that's true. So, I mean,
it's... Like I said, you gotta laugh at yourself
sometimes. Mm-hmm. But there
is a line that can be crossed, so I'm gonna understand
that, too. And this is a movie
that I think we should watch.
I'm... Put on my cheerleader? Yeah.
Okay. All right.
Paris is Burning, 1990.
A documentary
capturing the vibrant drag ball
culture of New York City in the
late 1980s.
Highlighting themes of
race, class, and gender.
Hmm. Okay.
I've heard
things about this over and over and over and over
again, but it's not a subject that I
think I would be interested in.
Yeah, I... It'd be one
of those I'd have to have a full nap during
that day and then watch it, because I have a feeling...
You'd fall asleep. I'd fall asleep. I know I would.
I know I would.
So, but this does remind me of
this TikTok or whatever. I wanted
to tell you about this. I'm sorry to bring it up now, but
they were doing a TikTok
and it said, if Stonewall
was filmed today,
and they basically did
videos of, like, TikToks
of, like, burning the buildings,
you know, and drag queens standing up, like,
no, this is happening now. Like, it was actually...
They were filming it like it was actually at
Stonewall and interviewing people
and they're like, you know, we had to do this. They were holding this back.
Is that what the Stonewall movie is?
I don't know. I don't know.
I've not seen it. It gave me the chills watching it.
It was, like, it was pretty cool. It was a really long
video and it was just, you know, drag queens
coming out and, like, you know what? We're tired of this.
We had to stand up for our rights and
basically social media was around back
then and now...
This is on TikTok? This is on TikTok.
This video is, yeah. And I'm not likely to see it.
No. If I can find it, I'll pull it up
because I think you'd find it neat. It's just...
But it's all make-believe, but it's if
it was at Stonewall happened today
with, like, social media and how...
That sounds like a great idea.
It's really neat. I think you would really
like it and show, you know, it's
all make-believe, but it looks like
it's real. Like, you know, it's...
You can see, like, paramedics and cops
there in the scene. It's supposed to be shot, like, at
Stonewall and them, you know,
they're interviewing to drag
queens and gay people and, you know,
this and that. And then there's another video that was attached
to it and it's talking about Stonewall and how
it gave the correct history of Stonewall
and how people misbelieve
how the mob was on the gay
people's side. The mob really wasn't on the
gay people's side. The mob was shaking
gay people down just as much as the cops were.
So, um,
it was a pretty good video
also that I watched, so...
A lot of really popular
TikToks end up over
on YouTube, so I might be
able to find it there if I know what the name
is. Yeah, I'll find out and I'll share it
with you, so... But yeah, I think you
probably need... Sorry, guys, I was a little
off the, uh...
Yeah, I don't think
the Stonewall movie's in our list.
Hmm. Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,
1994. Two drag queens
and a transgender woman embark on a
road trip across the Australian outback, facing
challenges and celebrating their identities.
Have you seen this?
No, and I am a terrible person for
not, because I know this is like a cult classic.
Yeah, I've seen it.
But probably not because I picked
two, because I was with people who
wanted to see it. Yeah. Is it any
good? Yeah, it's pretty good.
Um, especially when you consider
those were name actors
who were all doing drag.
Mm-hmm. Oh, is this the one with
with Patrick
Swayze and Mustard Snipes? Yes.
I thought... And John Michael Zana? Mm-hmm.
I thought that was a different movie.
No, I'm pretty sure that's... Okay.
That's this one. Okay.
Which may have gotten
people to watch it who wouldn't have.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hmm.
I think I've seen the one with John Michael Zana
and Patrick Swayze. I think that, yeah, if that's it,
then I've seen it. It was okay.
It was funny, you know what I mean? But it falls
back on the same
stereotypes
with drag queens and...
You're thinking tropes
rather than stereotypes. Yeah, okay, tropes.
Yeah. Okay. So...
Hedwig and the Angry
Itch, 2001.
A rock musical about a transgender
punk rock singer from
East Berlin telling her story
of love, loss, and self-discovery.
Never saw that one either. Another...
No. And I have heard
so many people praise
this movie, but I just have not seen it.
Yeah. I just...
One of those. Another one. It needs to...
We need
some way to control the
suggested movies
list on streaming.
Yeah.
Okay. God's Own Country,
2017. A young farmer
in Yorkshire forms a bond with a
Romanian migrant worker, leading to
a transformative and passionate relationship.
I've never
heard of it. Well, I've heard the name
of the show, but
I've never seen it.
And there are so,
so, so, so many movies
about adolescent boys
coming of age and...
Oh.
Mm. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Fire Island,
2022. A group of friends embark on a
week-long vacation to the iconic Fire
Island, navigating love, friendship, and
self-discovery.
This is a good movie. Is this for the one with
Bowen Yang?
I don't recognize that name. Bowen Yang, he's
the Asian comedian
that's on Saturday Live. Could be.
And then, um,
I don't think he's old enough to
have been in that movie.
22. Oh.
Okay.
Is Marker Cho in that movie?
Yes. Okay, and they're on the island.
Yeah, it's just a good movie. It was on
Hulu, or Prime. I think it was a Prime
movie. It was good. I liked that movie.
It made me laugh. I thought it was really good.
Yeah, it was. So,
that'd be a fun place to go visit. I'd like to
go to Fire Island sometime.
Hmm.
You and Tom wanted to go? I think
we would go and have
such high expectations, we'd be disappointed.
Hmm. Well, would you
either do that or go to Providence?
Mm-hmm.
I'm not a lesbian golfer, so I'll
stay away from Providence. Providence is
where they have the big beer week, don't they?
Get out of here. Yes.
Smart ass.
Everything
everywhere all at once.
A multiverse stand-in spanning adventure
that intertwines themes of family, identity,
and acceptance featuring a queer storyline.
Michelle Yeoh, right?
Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure you've seen,
yes, and probably loved it.
It was a very cool movie. It's very
different.
You had to pay attention.
You...
So, how did you sleep through it
and see it at the same time?
You can be amazed. I can't actually stay awake.
I don't sleep and work.
I can't actually watch things.
It's normally while you're
sleeping, I'm awake, but that's
generally what happens, so...
But that's... You've never seen it?
I've seen bits and pieces,
of it. You can't stay awake.
Kind of like I've seen bits and pieces of
Three-Body Solution,
but I haven't watched the whole thing.
Okay. It's a good show. I mean,
it's different. I mean, God, it won every year.
I think every Oscar that came out
that year. Mm-hmm. So, but it's
a good movie. I definitely recommend it.
The Star Trek movie that she was
in, um... The new one?
What was it called? Something 52
or... No.
The new one you're talking about, though?
Section 31. There we go.
Yeah.
Um...
The only reason we got to see Section
31 is because she was on contract
to do that movie before she did this
one. Oh, really? And now she's
so popular, there's no way
anybody would get her without
a new contract. Hmm.
So you don't think she'll do any more Star Trek movies?
Probably not. Really? And I would advise
her not to, because that was a turd.
Yeah, but I... It was a
highly polished turd. She's
got such a huge following.
Yes, she does. I mean, because Star Trek
stuff, she did the whole hidden dragon
crushing tiger stuff. She's got
such a huge cult following. I mean,
it'd be sad if she didn't...
Well, and, um...
A lot of
what makes her popular is the
action kung fu type stuff,
and she's getting a bit old for that.
Yeah. So she does a lot of it in that movie
theater. In that movie.
Yeah, that film. So... But it was
a good movie. I enjoyed it. Okay.
The Wizard of Oz,
1939. Transported to a surreal
landscape, a young girl kills the first
person she meets, and then teams up with
three strangers to kill again.
Oh,
crap.
Wow, I've never heard the Wizard of Oz
described as
so cringeworthy.
My god.
Oh. I guess
that's really what happens, but I never looked
at it that way, so no kid should ever see this.
This movie.
I love how you
throw that in there.
Uh...
Okay. Well, I've never
seen it. You've never seen it?
No, I've seen the Wizard of Oz, yes.
Um, I don't understand
why it's on a list of gay movies.
Yeah. Did you do that?
Transported to a surreal...
No, that's a very famous synopsis.
Oh, come.
Oh, yeah.
That's a... Yeah, everyone's
seen this. There's really nothing to talk about.
But, I don't...
There's no...
No hidden gay meaning. There's no...
No. No overt gay
characters, or... It's the ruby red
slippers. It's the drag queens that take it over.
Okay.
Um...
And, um...
Judy Garland
was the daughter, or...
No, it was the mother of...
Mother of, um...
Oh, I just was gonna say the word, and now I can't...
think of it. What's her name?
Liza Minnelli. Liza Minnelli, yes.
Yeah. Who was a gay icon. So that's probably
the only gay connection. Yeah.
And why is Liza Minnelli such a gay icon?
Strong, powerful
women are. Yeah, that's true.
And some of them don't deserve it, though.
So... Don't tell Lady Gaga that.
I like Lady Gaga, though.
So... Okay.
Longtime companion, 1989.
A group of friends navigate life and loss
during the early years of the AIDS epidemic,
exploring love and friendship,
friendship. You've seen it?
You have not seen it?
Is this on HBO?
I don't know.
I think I'm...
Now that I'm thinking about it...
It's a pretty old movie. It's super, super sad.
Yes. Bring a box of Kleenex
when you watch this movie.
I'm thinking of the HBO
Angels.
Angels Above America.
Angels in America.
Angels in America. Okay, that's what I was thinking. I got them confused.
But no, I think I did say longtime companion.
But that's a tearjerker.
Isn't Mark Ruffalo in this, too?
I think so.
And the guy who starred in
Bim... Do you remember
Bim?
The kid who had the rats for...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, with the rats and Bim.
Well, the kid who starred in that
is in this movie. I can't think
of his name. Okay.
But he has a tearjerking scene
where he's in the
hospital and his partner
is dying and he says
it's okay.
It's okay. You can leave.
Yeah, he tells him he can go
without him.
It's sad.
But it's
amazing people do that and it actually works.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? But everyone, I think
a lot of people have done it.
It's okay to say goodbye to
people you love.
And people do, I think, hold on until they hear
those affirming words.
But, yeah. Okay.
Pink Flamingos
in 1972. A cult classic that
follows the outrageous antics of the vine.
A drag queen vying for the title
of filthiest person alive.
I'll bet you have never seen this. Nope.
It is sort of a
classic.
Um,
when the Gay Pride
organization here in town
decided to start back up,
there was a period, sort of,
after Anita Bryant,
and until
say 1990
or late
88's,
the Pride organization decided to start
back up again
and have a parade and a festival
and everything. And this movie
was what they decided to play.
Oh, wow.
People walked out. Really?
Demanded their money back. Why?
It's a horrible, horrible movie.
Yeah. It's a John Waters film.
How is he famous?
I don't know.
I mean,
One thing is, he
was uncompromising.
He made his movies the way he wanted
to make them, despite how
bad they were. Yeah, I mean, it's
kind of like so bad
that they're good.
But I've never gotten that.
I don't get it. I just
don't get it. I mean, he's a
I guess he's their own.
And Divine,
I mean, they were both cut from the
same cloth.
In this movie,
I believe it's this movie. There's
several of them that he did with Divine
before she died.
But I think
in this one where she
picks up a dog turd and eats it.
Oh, God. I could have went without
that. Yeah, that's when
so many people walked out.
That's just foul. Why would you do something like that?
It got attention.
Yeah, but there's
some things you just don't need.
Like that. You don't need
eating feces
from an animal. Making the decision
to make that as the movie for
Pride that year
probably not a wise decision.
No, no. That was some
snotty little queen
who thought they were going to be funny
and make a scene by
doing that.
It reacted terribly.
So, yeah.
Oh, well. All right.
Bad Education.
A Spanish film that interwines themes of
love, betrayal, and identity
set against the backdrop of a Catholic school.
I've heard of this.
I've never seen it.
Me neither.
Once again, probably not something I'll watch
because it's a teenage
angst movie.
Oh, is it? Okay.
And it's a Spanish film, too.
Oh, yeah.
Not that I'm opposed to watching
um,
closed captions.
But oftentimes I'm trying to do other things
while the movie's on and I just don't
want to sit and read the entire movie.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've never seen it.
And it's, like,
I'll watch it, close caption, but
it's less likely.
Alright, Theorem.
1968. A mysterious visitor
seduces members of a bourgeois family
leading to profound changes
in their lives.
That's bourgeois. Bourgeois. I'm sorry.
What did I say?
Bourgeois?
Okay.
Bougie. I'm just going to call it bougie.
Okay.
I don't think I've seen this one either, but I've heard of it.
I haven't seen this one.
I've never heard of it either.
The plot sounds like
the same plot as,
what is it?
Something of the Vanities.
Bonfire of the Vanities?
Yeah, Bonfire of the Vanities.
Sounds like
just another version of that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Midnight Cowboy, 1969.
A native and naive Texas hustler
forms a bond with a con man in New York City
leading to a poignant exploration of
friendship and survival.
You've heard of this?
I've seen it.
You've seen it?
Who's the con man? I can't think of it.
Dustin Hoffman?
Dustin Hoffman is the con man.
And the cowboy is, um...
I can't think of his name.
I can't either.
Famous actor, too.
But this was back in the days
where every movie that had
gay characters had to have a tragic ending.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, the whole...
Yeah, I mean...
Yeah, that's...
Yeah.
But...
I'm glad to see those days are gone.
Yeah.
Yeah, very much so.
You have a little bit more lightheartedness.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Fox and his friends,
1975.
A working-class man wins the lottery
and becomes involved with a wealthy man
leading to exploitation and betrayal.
I have not seen it,
but that sounds like a fascinating concept for a movie.
I think I want to see that.
You think so?
Mm-hmm.
It's kind of sad, though.
I suppose.
It could be.
I mean, it could be funny, too.
I mean, or...
I don't know if it's a drama or a comedy.
Oh, uh...
I don't know.
Yeah.
Based on that description, it could be either one.
Yeah.
So...
But...
Okay.
Weekend, 2011.
Two men meet at a club and spend a weekend together
forming a deep connection that challenges their perceptions.
I've seen this.
Isn't it good?
It's...
all right.
Yeah.
There's a lot of skin in it.
Okay.
Which is probably the reason most people have seen it.
Okay.
Yeah, I've never seen it either.
Mm-hmm.
That's terrible.
I've seen maybe, like, five of these movies at all.
Okay.
Well, I mean, since we...
Okay, we got...
That's it.
Is that it?
That's all.
Okay.
You got a joke this week, or...
Why is it that Mike Pence will not shake Donald Trump's hand?
Because he tried to kill him?
Or get him killed?
I don't know why.
Because he doesn't think an asshole should touch a prick.
Wow.
That's good.
Wow.
Tell us how you really feel.
All right.
