Happy Pride to perverts only!
Back when I first started this show, I released an episode on William Friedkin's controversial film based on the Mineshaft murders, Cruising. I have gained so much knowledge and experience since 2019! So to celebrate the season, it felt appropriate to revisit this classic piece of leather history. I am joined by Andy Campbell (author of Bound Together) and Morgan Woolsey (who did her PhD on the soundtrack!) We work through our scene by scene analysis of Cruising, injecting history lessons about the leather scene, real life murders, infamous protests, incredible punk soundtrack, and more. This is one of my favorite episodes to date! I love when I get to go really deep and hard in it. It being the joys of cinema, of course.

Society waits for you! Artist and filmmaker Ian Deleón joins me to talk about Brian Yuzna's body horror classic. We deep dive and do a scene by scene analysis of the film and discuss larger themes, like how sexual perversion has become coded as a decadent failure of the rich. We also link the film back to our current cultural moment and the recent release of the Epstein files and the ensuing moral panic.

This is a meaty episode full of discussions about subculture, poser violence, hipster ethos in the early aughts, girlhood and friendship, why having a job fucking sucks, age gap relationships, and so much more.
