âWhy am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. You can't fire me, I quit! Seems I don't fit in.â Itâs a Rankin/Bass âAnimagicâ Christmas Spectacular here at Movies That Made Us Gay, and we watched âRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,â âThe Year Without a Santa Claus,â âThe Life & Adventures of Santa Claus,â and âNestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkeyâ with our friend Harper Thomson and we still want to visit the island of misfit toys. These charming stop-motion animation TV specials from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s have been airing for as long as any of us can remember, and itâs just not the holidays until we watch at least one of them. What little queer child didnât feel seen as Rudolph was banished from gym class and made to hide his light? Little Hermey the elf just not feeling his 9-to-5 job making toys really speaks to the Gen Z in all of us, and are you even queer if you donât shed a tear when that raggedy doll sings her song on the island of misfit toys? All that and a ginger daddy/bear who loves dogs (and peppermint), and it almost seems as though this was made for and by the gays. There was just something in the sauce Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass were churning because each of these specials just tugs at your heartstrings and makes the little queer kid inside us weep, laugh, and light up. Oh, and the Heat & Snow Miserâs songs are high camp, burlesque magic.

âChildren can be nasty, don't you think?â We watched the camp classic âThe Bad Seedâ from 1956 this week with Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast âFemale Drivenâ, and what will you give us for a basket of kisses? Of all the bad-ass bitches in cinema history, there isnât anyone quite like Rhonda Penmark, played by Patty McCormick. Rotted to the core, Rhonda is a child serial killer and psychopath who manipulates all the adults around her. We wouldnât have Damien Thorn from âThe Omenâ, Esther from âOrphanâ, or Mac Culkin in âThe Good Sonâ if it werenât for Patty McCormackâs iconic performance. First published as a novel in 1954, to a Broadway play the same year, then this Mervyn LeRoy-directed movie in 1956, âThe Bad Seedâ shocked audiences with an ad campaign that promised to goop and gag its viewers. Oscar-nominating all three of its actresses who came from performing it on stage, âThe Bad Seedâ has some incredible performances by Nancy Kelly, Patty McCormack, and Eileen Heckart. Weâre here to tell you this movie still operates at a ten and doesnât let up for its over two-hour run time.

"Strength and Honor." Itâs our Black Friday episode, and weâre celebrating Galicked this week and are discussing Ridley Scottâs long-awaited Gladiator II. An old-fashioned sword and sandal epic that both the gays and straights can equally enjoy, this might not match the prestige of its Oscar-winning predecessor, but thereâs a lot of fun going on here. Itâs nice to see this type of historic blockbuster embrace its gay Ancient Rome roots and lean more into the camp of its material. Get us a fan, because weâre verklempt from all of the insanely hot men on display here. Weâd risk it all for a night with our boy Paul Mescal, and daddy Pedro Pascal is the type of man weâd have on our bedroom wall growing up. Even though this movie may not exactly pass the Bechdel Test, Connie Nielsen more than makes up for it as the fierce Lucilla. Weâre also all here for the comeback of queer villains. Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger chew up the scenery as two twink brother Emperors adding some Caligula-level hijinks, complete with a monkey in a dress and a bisexual harem. We discuss the Denzel Washington hinted man on man kiss left on the cutting room floor, some brief thoughts on Wicked, and the iconic Liz Taylor 2001 Golden Globe appearance. Gllaaaaadiator!

"I would like, if I may... to take you... on a strange journey." We're finally doing the Time Warp this week on the podcast and talking about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" with our friend Jackson Cooper. Call it the mother of all cult films, and brain child of its star Richard O'Brien, this odd ball musical that was far ahead of its time has racked up countless loyal fans and we're still analyzing this fever dream almost five decades later! Janet and Brad (Susan Surandon and Barry Bostwick) are a couple of newly-engaged bores who suffer a breakdown one fateful dark and stormy night, outside the castle of Dr. Fank-N-Furter - a scientist - and all hell breaks loose. The iconic big screen debut of Tim Curry as Frank and his rag tag group of glam rock misfits turned the worlds of movies, music and fashion on their heads and the world has never been the same since. The high camp extravaganza has inspired midnight showings - continuosly for the past 49 years - with ravenous fans from around the world performing "shadow casts" of the film for the live audiences - a true spectacle. Frank, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia and Rocky himself have inspired generations of us queers with the mantra "Don't dream it, Be it!" Oh, and if you don't know the dance it's real easy to learn... "It's just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right!"

âWaaaarrrrrriliorsss, come out to pla-i-ay!â We watched âThe Warriorsâ with our friend Rudy Bleu⊠Can you dig it? This movie is so amazing, but the story of its production is just as wild as the movie itself. Actual gang members as extras, main cast members getting jumped while in their wardrobe, general violence and mayhem abounding, and yet they still managed to make a great movie. We talk about the âtimelessâ nature of the movie (is it set in a dystopian future?), the homoeroticism in the script, and the cast jam-packed full of hotties. We also discuss which gang we would join based solely on their outfits and play a telling round of FMK with our heroes. Since weâre three Angelenos discussing this film, thereâs no guarantee if we would complete this quest with the Warriors, but we would have a hell of a great time on the way.

âThat bum. So what if he has a Porsche? He can't treat you like this. It's Friday night!â We watched âThe Terminatorâ (1984), and you should listen with us if you want to live! We covered T2 back in 2022, but weâre here to talk about the originalâ the mother of independent blockbusters. It doesnât get any more â80s âTech Noirâ than riding through the streets of downtown Los Angeles to an electronic atonal soundtrack while being chased by Arnold Schwarzenegger in wrap-around sunglasses. Throw in Michael Biehn rocking some sweet Nike high tops, and youâve got yourself a retro good time. Listen, we all have a little Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in usâ just trying to make it through another workday, while dodging robotic supersoldiers from the future and getting down with your hottie (and human) guardian. Okay, maybe weâre not that much like Sarahâ but we really wish we were. This movie is so good weâd watch it even without the copious shots of buns, cool soundtrack, and even cooler characters. James Cameron managed to take a $ 6 million budget and give us a movie (in 1984) that looks better than most $ 100 million movies made today. Follow Sarah on a wild adventure through the streets of L.A. on her way to becoming the mother of a revolution. And rememberâ be nice to your digital AI assistantsâ thatâs how Terminators get made!!

âWhat an excellent day for an exorcism.â We watched the mother of all horror movies âThe Exorcistâ with our dear friend Espie Quintero and the power of Christ is compelling us to sleep with the lights on! This movie has a reputation for being one of the scariest horror films ever made and for good reason. We go into just how dang REAL it all comes across. Something about that â70s style of filmmaking - this thing feels like a documentary in parts. The realism also extends to the subject matter and everyoneâs personal thoughts on ghosts, demons, the afterlife and religion in general. I mean leave it to the Catholics to still have a protocol for exorcising demons in the 20th century (and beyond most likely). Linda Blair was only 13 when she was nominated for an Oscar for her work here, but itâs really Ellen Burstyn that owns this movie. Chris MacNeill (Burstyn) is a mother at her wits end when no one will help her clearly possessed daughter. Letâs be real - a demon thrashing around a kid is scary but I defy you to stand in the way of a mother trying to protect her kid when no one else will. On top of all that we also get Ellen in some fierce â70s fashions - oversized aviator sunglasses anyone?

âSusie... Sarah... I once read that names which begin with the letter 'S' are the names of SNAKES! Sssss! Ssssss!â We watched âSuspiriaâ (1977) with our friend Devin Lotfi (I Don't Want to Hear That Podcast) and weâre taking a trip down the witches road (no, not that one). You canât get any more niche than 1970âs Italian horror, but our man Dario Argentina is the master and âSuspiriaâ is the icon of the genre. Argentoâs stylized use of primary colors gives the movie an expressionistic vibe and makes it stand out from the usually dark tone of more mainstream horror films. The neon palette used here is almost a trope in modern art house horror but in 1977 this was revolutionary. Jessica Harper is our ethereal American student amongst the fierce European witches that run the mysterious dance academy. Weâve also got a blind piano teacher, a lumbering, mute manservant and some male dance students with ambiguous intentions rounding out the spooky tone. We defy you to assign the significance of the bright reds, blues and greens that are cast over the scenes. The story may seem at times illogical or confusing but it all comes together in the final - extremely scary - moments. The only more terrifying about the last twelve minutes of this podcast, are the first eighty nine!

"He was my patient for fifteen years. He became an obsession with me until I realized that there was nothing within him, neither conscious nor reason that was... even remotely human." We watched "Halloween II" with our friend Gabe Munoz and we'll be right back after we x-ray our entire candy haul. This movie wastes no time and picks up mere moments after Dr. Loomis (a frenzied Donald Pleasence) unloads 6 rounds into Michael Meyers at the end of the 1978 original. With all of our characters either unalived by Michael or under sedation in the emergency room, we get a whole new cast of Haddonfield residents to get picked off by "the shape". Is it to this movies detriment that OG Final Girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is in a hospital bed most of the movie? Maybe. Is her wig an even worse offence? Definitely. Original director John Carpenter may not have returned to helm this one, but he penned the script along with then wife and collaborator Debra Hill so the "bones" of the story and characters are there (spooky pun intended), but can Laurie's minimal screen time and Dr. Loomis frantic delivery save this one? The "Halloween" franchise has had its ups and downs but this kooky entry is a lot of fun and definitely worth the watch.

"Lucky for you I come with my own airbags." We watched "Elvira's Haunted Hills" and she really is going to put someone eye out with those things. We already been knew that in this house we will throw down for "Elvira Mistress of the Dark" - the movie and the person. But does the long awaited sequel hold up? It took 13 years to write, finance and produce this homage to the Roger Corman produced, Vincent Price starring, Edgar Allan Poe movies of the 1960's and you can feel the inspiration all over the place. The spooky sets, the baroque (by way of the swinging '60s) costumes and of course Elvira herself, all give this movie the authenticity of those camp classics. Written by Cassandra Peterson and her longtime writing partner John Paragon (Jambi the Genie himself) the script is full of campy one liners, bawdy jokes and cheap visual gags - you know... classic Elvira. We may go Hard for the original movie, but this one really grows on you... kinda like a fungus - and that's why we love it! We've logged it 4 times on Letterboxd this year and it keeps getting funnier, EVERY SINGLE TIME WE SEE IT!

âI don't think I can take 9 months of this.â âSilly Chucky. It's a voodoo pregnancy. It's accelerated.â Weâre coming at you with another double feature - we watched âBride of Chuckyâ and its sequel âSeed of âChuckyâ with Travis McMaster and weâre really gonna miss Chucky. This episode was recorded days before the news hit that the Chucky television series had been cancelled and weâre gutted to hear. But the pod must go on! This series was already a solid horror franchise, but their lean into camp and the addition of Jennifer Tilly really kicked it into the stratosphere of horror. Jenniferâs comic timing and iconic delivery are put to use perfectly in âBride of Chuckyâ as Tiffany but her characterization as herself in âSeedâ is off the wall bananas and a turning point for the franchise. While âBrideâ plays more like a standard late â90s horror/comedy - albeit already pretty cuckoo with the murderous talking dolls - itâs really âSeedâ that goes full camp with additions like John Waters as a sleazy paparazzo, rapper Redman as a serious film director and of course Tilly in a dual role as Tiffany/Jennifer Tilly. Come for the iconic Chucky reads (âHe looks like he fell off the ugly tee and hit every branch on the way downâ), stay for Glen/Glendaâs gender journey.

âLast night, you were unhinged. You were like some desperate howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again.â We watched âThe Addams Familyâ with our friends Michael and Callum from the amazing podcast âOnce Upon a VHSâ and we have the sudden urge for Girl Scout cookies. Weâve already covered the diva Debbie Jellinsky from the iconic sequel âAddams Family Valuesâ in a previous episode, and now weâre here to talk about where it all started. This entire cast is a complete and total serve from Angelica Hustonâs iconic Morticia to itty bitty Christina Ricciâs perfect Wednesday and the legendary Raul Julia as the original âwife guyâ Gomez. Because of the timeless nature of this movie this doesnât feel dated at all⊠that is until âAddams Grooveâ by none other than 90âs legend MC Hammer graces the credits. Angelica can read you down with a simple look, Christopher LLoydâs Fester is insanely genius and MTMUG lucky charm Dan Hedaya graces the pod with his 9th appearance (that we know of!). Listen we give everyone in this cast their flowers and they all deserve them - this group of stone cold weirdos really came together and made spooky movie history.

âI wonder where a guy, an everyday Joe like myself, can find a little action..." We have a super sized episode of the podcast, and watched "Beetlejuice" (1988) and the newly released sequel "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" (2024). This might be one of our favorite Tim Burton films, let alone comedies, like ever. We first talk about the original 1988 movie, which we know like the back of our gay hands - and can quote from beginning to end. The story of a newly dead Conneticut couple Adam and Barbara Maitland (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who seek the help of a dead beat demon (Michael Keaton) to scare a yuppie New York couple, was a fresh take on a "haunted house" movie, and were here to say it's characters and lines are engrained in our everyday lives. We talk about the found family storyline of the Maitlands finding their surrogate daughter in Lydia Deetz (iconic goth girly Winona Ryder), 1988's Alec Bladwin's face card that could never get declined (not to mention that thick ass), and Michael Keaton absolutely crushing every line delverly as the "Ghost with the Most."
We dive into our thoughts on the sequel and let's put it this way - for a movie that doesn't need to exist, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" is a lot of fun. This episode may be a long one, but with two movies, 36 years and a ton of iconic performances, whats an extra hour?

"I asked myself, "Where would people never notice a town full of robots? Connecticut!" We watched the infamously camp remake of "The Stepford Wives" directed by Frank Oz with our friend Chris Gallo (Golden Girls Posters). We might be scratching our heads about the actual plot of this adaptation of the 1972 Ira Levin novel, but at a brisk ninty minutes (not including credits) do we really care? This cast is more full of gay icons than the Palm Springs Walk of Fame - powerhouse actresses like Bette Midler and Glenn Close absolutely knock these Paul Rudnick one-liners out of the park and they make just about any plot holes disappear. Nicole Kidman leads our cast as a disgraced TV exec exiled to Stepford Connecticut where the titular wives are a little too good to be true. Bette Midler is in top form playing an ultra liberal Stepford newbie getting into Scooby Gang shenanigans with Nic and Roger Bart as the gay soon to be "Stepford Husband". The would-be robotic antics of the wives are played for camp and Glenn Close is really killing it as the over the top alpha wife. The alleged script re-writes, on set clashes between actors and Oz and the general unevenness of the plot take their toll, but the women really carry this one and we could watch Glenn and Faith Hill Do-Si-Do with smoke coming out of their ears all day. Don't think too hard about this one - just let the microchips take over and enjoy the show.

"The world is full of nice, ordinary little people who live in nice, ordinary little houses on the ground. But didn't you ever dream of a house up on a tree top?" We watched "The Swiss Family Robinson" (1960) with author Greg Mania, and we're still deciding what our Luxury Items would be. We do our best to navigate the discussion of the wildly racist depictions of the pirates as well as the clear examples of animal endangerment - needless to say a rewatch of this film is stressful. But we're here to talk about our good memories with this beloved Disney live action movie. We clearly remember where we were the first time we saw shirtless Fritz (James MacArthur) and Ernst (Tommy Kirk) frolicking under a waterfall, or wrestling on the beach for the affections of Roberta (Janet Munro). For many - like our guest this week Greg - this movie is the clear answer to the age old question "when did you know you were gay?" Not for nothing, "Father" Robinson (Sir John Mills - Hayleys real life dad) was making us feel some type of way climbing those ropes and building that luxurious mansion in the trees. Would we stay on the island to live happily with Roberta or follow Ernst back to the modern world? We gotta go with Ernst on this one.

"Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?" We made it to 250 episodes and what an opportunity to bring you the end all be all of a literal Movie That Made Us Gay! We welcome back the hilarious H. Alan Scott to review this cinema classic starring Judy Garland and Margaret Hamilton as two of the most iconic characters of the silver screen. This movie is woven into the fabric of our culture - from casual recognition even if you've never seen it (how?) right down to the commemorative plate collecting, memorabilia fanatics. We talk about the inherent queerness of this movie, its enduring legacy in our community and we even squeeze in an FMK with the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Do we identify more and more with the Wicked Witch of the West as we inch toward Elder Gay status? Absolutely. We never thought of ourselves as die-hard Wizard of Oz gays but it turns out our commorative 3D Bluray and waaay to many pics from the Motion Picture Academy Museum exhibit might say otherwise.

âMare? MARE? I? A HORSE? Is THAT what you take me for? Is THAT what you see?â We watched âThe Last Unicornâ all by our lonesome and weâre still recovering from our 1980âs dark fantasy streak. What was it about the energy of 1980âs kids movies that just fascinated us at the same time as scare the living dickens out of us? This movie is filled with spooky imagery, dark themes and can be downright scary but like a ton of similar â80s kids movies - we just love it! Mia Farrow as the Unicorn and the Lady Amalthea gives an ethereal performance filled with sorrow and melancholy - you know, kids stuff. The beautiful character design and water color backgrounds reel us in, but creepy characters like Mommy Fortuna (voiced by the ICON Angela Lansbury) and the unforgettable harpy give us the creeps to this day. When the Red Bull attacks weâre still on the edge of our seats. We discuss the lore of unicorns, and the reboots that haven't manage to materialize. We were My Little Pony boys for sure, so The Last Unicorn was practically made for us, but the fantastic and spooky imagery combined with the hippy-dippy soundtrack makes for classic â80s kids movies.

âDon't you agree that, on one's first visit to Florence, one must have a room with a view?â We watched the Merchant Ivory 1985 classic "A Room with a View" with our friend Rufino Cabang and excuse us as we faint in the arms of Julian Sands. Breaking American audiences to actors like Helena Bonham Carter, Julian Sands, Daniel Day Lewis, and Rupert Graves this movie was a huge cross over success in American that was nominated for eight Academy Awards, and won for its adaptation for the screen by Ruth Prater Jhabvala. 20 year-old Helena looks like a porcelain doll, swoon worthy men, and Maggie Smith is also here to talk some hot goss with Judi Dench. What more could you want in a costume drama! Also, the perfect cover for a movie to rent for young gay boys across the world, that features a famous skinny dipping scene with Julian Sands, Rupert Graves, and Simon Callow stripping down to their birthday suits for a dip. "A Room with a View" helped usher in the success of movies like Maurice, Remains of the Day, and Howardâs End much to excitement of English Lit nerds, and all the boys who were "a joy to have in class."

âThey look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were.â We watched âThe Neverending Storyâ with our friend Jared Anderson and weâve got some unresolved trauma to work through. Listen, this movie scarred an entire generation of kids with some not-so-childlike themes - weâre talking bullying, loss of a parent, despair, and the most noble horse you ever did see succumbing to the swamp of sadness. Needless to say we needed a therapist to walk us through our re-watch of this â80s fantasy classic so we called on good Judy Jared. Bastian Balthazar Bux (Barret Oliver) isnât like other boys - heâs a sensitive loner who draws unicorns when he should be paying attention in class. He also loves to read. When he finds the gigantic book titled The Neverending Story he takes that as a challenge and soon we meet Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) and Artax (RIP), and the colorful (gay) inhabitants of âFantasiaâ. Every girl and gay boy had a crush on Atreyu and we all wanted to be The Childlike Empress (Tami Stronach). Donât even get us started on Falkor - weâre still waiting for our very own Luck Dragon. We may still be getting over all the feels this movie stirred up but the film itself is a beautiful pre-CG fanstasy masterpiece with an absolutely killer theme song. Letâs all give the Childlike Empress a new name and save Fantasia from The Nothing! Say it with us⊠MoonChild!

We're blowing off the dust on one of our favorite episodes, and revisting Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World. Originally posted as Movies That Made Us Gay Episode 66 on Sep 25, 2020 - we had to dig WAY back in the archives for this one. We were still baby podcasters back then but this episode is still just as fresh after all these years. We'll be back with a new episode next friday, but until then let's take a trip back to Season 2 of Movies That Made Us Gay!
"If you like authentic blues you really gotta check out Blues Hammer." We watched Ghost World (2001) and no we don't want a biscotti with that. If you ever want a peek behind the veil of Scott and Pete's inner (and outer) monologue - look no further than this movie. We too can't relate to 99% of humanity and mostly want to poison rude customers. Since poisoning is out of the question, we simply troll them under our breath like our heroes Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson). While we're nowhere near as upfront as Enid or dry as Rebecca, we feel we've modeled a decent part of our wit off of these two fringe dwelling icons. Much like Enid, we too "just like Don Knotts."
