240: Good Gay Movies

It’s June, which means it is Pride Month! ⁠Bad Gay Movies⁠ is one of my favourite podcasts and love hearing Bil Antoniou talk about gay themed movies, but I wanted to here his thoughts on movies that are actually good. We decided to focus on movies that were influential to Bil as he was coming of age. We discuss ⁠Madonna: Truth or Dare⁠, ⁠Jeffrey⁠ and ⁠Clueless⁠.

Listen to our last Pride themed episode ⁠112: Celebrating Queer Cinema⁠.

Read ⁠Examining the Politics of Madonna’s ‘Truth or Dare,’ 30 Years Later⁠.

Follow Bil on ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ and read his latest ⁠Criterion Shelf⁠ blog post covering movies directed by Seijun Suzuki.
