Movies That Made Us Gay

This is the podcast where we watch a movie from our past that had a lasting impression on our little gay lives. If we had no business watching it - we stole our parents VHS copy and watched under the cover of night. If a diva gave a rousing speech - we memorized it and lip-synced it at a talent show. Join Scott and Pete each week for a look back at the Movies That Made Us Gay!

177. Less Than Zero with special guest Ben Cheaves

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/12/16

It's Christmas in LA, and remember to payback your drug dealer for the 50K you own him! We're rounding out our Bret Easton Ellis discussion on the podcast just in time for the holidays, and watched Less Than Zero with our friend Ben Cheaves from TCM Slumberground. It's a home for the holidays tale as old as time. Clay (Andrew McCarthy) comes back home from his preppy east coast college at the request of his coked out ex-girlfriend Blair (Jami Gertz) to find his out control friend Julian (Robert

2022/12/09

Move over Prince Eric there’s a hunkier animated dream boat in town. We watched Anastasia (1997) with our friend Donovan Marcotte and we would seriously consider giving up royalty for a shot at animated John Cusack. Anastasia was the 1990’s animated princess *not* brought to you by the house of mouse, but rather thorn in Disney’s side Don Bluth and Gary Goldman - the team behind The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail and The Land Before Time. America’s Sweetheart and ‘90s Icon Meg Ryan is charming

2022/12/02

"Love conquers all, have you not seen the Graduate? Or like, I don't know, anything?" We're rounding out our Diablo Cody joints this year and invited over the hilarious Kelly Hardy to watch Young Adult. Seeing Charlize Theron as a "psychotic prom queen bitch" who takes on her hometown to rescue to her old beau Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson) from his wife (Elizabeth Reaser) and new born, is dare we say the most refreshing way beautiful people have ever been portrayed in film. This very anti-Hollywood

174. Clue with special guest Hiko Mitsuzuka

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/11/25

"We're trying to find out who killed him, where, and with what!" It's our Black Friday weekend episode, and we watched Clue (1985) with pop culture aficionado Hiko Mitsuzuka @thefirstecho. I hope you recieved your letter, because this is one of our favorite comedies, like ever. This film is instantly quotable (Flames Flames from the sides of my face), and everyone in the cast is bringing their A-game. We talk about the wild range of Tim Curry who did the Worst Witch, and Legend, the same year he

173. Mary Poppins with special guest Daniel Franzese

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/11/18

“Winds in the east, mist coming in. Like somethin’ a brewin’ and ‘bout to begin.” We watched Mary Poppins (1964) with extra special guest Daniel Franzese and we’re ready to join an all chimney sweep dance crew. This movie is a classic, and we’re not here to dissect a classic - we’re here to sing songs, question parenting skills and thirst over Dick Van Dyke. Listen if we were raising a family in Edwardian London I’m sure I’d use all my resources to hire a governess/nanny to watch the kids so I

172. Ghost with special guest Joshua Clement

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/11/11

"Molly you in danger girl." We watched the blockbuster romantic fantasy film Ghost directed by Jerry Zucker with our friend Joshua Clement, and all the sudden we feel the urge to take up pottery as a hobby. Ghost made over 500 million dollars in its theatrical run, and was one of the highest grossing romances of the 90s. After 32 years what's not to still love here. It has our forever movie hunk Patrick Swayze, prime Demi Moore as the most beautiful cryer in cinema history, Tony Goldwyn as one of

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/11/04

“When it comes to huge openings, a lot of people think of me.” We watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch with our friend Amber Shaw and we’re ready for a car wash! We talk about our introduction to this queer classic through the stage production, various versions of the soundtrack and the still-rockin’ after 20 years movie. John Cameron Mitchell’s snappy dialogue is hilarious and the music by Stephen Trask is face-melting rock and roll that can bring you to tears. We also have to talk about the Glamour

2022/10/28

"In my dreams I'm beautiful... and Baaad." We watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) with our friends Tim Murdock and Matt Emert from the podcast Happy Horror Time and we need to get some sleep - Ándale! We covered "the gay one"(NOES2) and "the MTV one" (NOES4) and now we're here to talk about the critically aclaimed one. The start of the "dream trilogy" brings back Freddy's original Final Girl Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) as a hot-shot grad student who studies dreams

169. Ed Wood with special guest Jackson Cooper

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/10/21

"It's not a monster movie. It's a supernatural thriller." We watched Ed Wood (1994) with our friend and MTUG SuperStar Jackson Cooper and we don't need coverage - the first take was perfect! Ed Wood is often hailed as the worst director of all time and we're here to tell you - "Glen or Glenda" and "Plan 9 From Outer Space" are pretty terrible, but his story is fascinating. Johnny Depp plays Wood as optimistic, a little naive but driven in his quest to make the perfect movie. He doesnt let a

168. The Craft with special guest Matthew Ownby

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/10/14

“We are the weirdos, mister.” We call on the four corners with TCM Slumberground’s Matthew Ownby, and watched the Craft. As youngins we had this movie checked out more than Justin Theroux during grey sweatpants season. Why do all young gays want to be witches? How do these teenage girls keep getting away with all these dress code violations? Why is Robin Tunney wearing a wig? We unpack all these questions, and much more as we discuss this cult classic. This coven remains just as memorable now as

167. Night of the Comet with special guest Rudy Bleu

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/10/07

It's the apocalypse, and lets go to the mall! We watched Night of the Comet with returning guest Rudy Bleu. When a mysterious comet whipes out most of the life on Earth two valley girls Reggie and Sam find Los Angeles all to themsleves. In this clever blend of horror, sci-fi, comedy these sisters kick butt, ride motorcyles, play videogames, take over an abandoned radio station, shoot uzis, and then hit the mall. Night of the Comet truly checks all the boxes for cult films, and it's why it's one of

166. Lifeguard with special guest Love Connie

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/09/30

What do you say to 90 minutes of primo late-'70s Sam Elliot parading around in short-shorts and being an all-around macho stud? We say "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" We watched Lifeguard (1976) with the amazing Love Connie and we're trying to grow out our mustaches by sheer will power. Sam Elliot plays career lifeguard Rick and he's our hero. He's got a swinging bachelor pad, a sweet car and pretty much lives the life of a gay man... only you know, with women. If you're not familiar with Sam Elliot's

2022/09/23

"Life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the sea." We watched Y tu mamá también (2001) with our friend Sandra Espinoza and we're packing the station wagon for a roadtrip to Boca del Cielo. Time is a hell of a concept and man did it do a number on us when we re-watched this classic of Mexican cinema. As young lads first introduced to this film, we were struck by the beauty of its cast, its locations and its story, but as aged queens of the 2020's we've really changed who we identify

164. Beautiful Thing with special guest Jesse Krempel

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/09/16

"It's not natural, is it? A girl at her age being into Mama Cass." We watched the 1996 British film Beautiful Thing with Jesse Krempel from Cult Cinema Circle. As one of the most beloved "gay" movies from the 1990s, Beautiful Thing always feels a little more special than a traditonal "coming out" story. Set around a tower block South-London apartment building we follow Jamie (Glen Berry) and his neighbor Ste (Scott Neal) as they navigate their budding sexuality, and feelings for each other. We love

163. La Belle et la Bête (1946)

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/09/09

“My Beast! My Beast! Answer me, my Beast! Answer me, my Beast!” We watched the insanely beautiful 1946 Jean Cocteau film La Belle et la Bête, and excuse us as we glide down a windy hallway like were in the It's All Coming Back Me Now video. There’s wouldn’t be the 1991 Disney animated movie, or power ballad music videos, if it weren’t for Cocteau’s flamboyant take on the ye old 1757 French fairy tale. We dissect the drag styling of Jean Marais as the Beast. Marvel at how beautiful Josettte Day’s

2022/09/02

“If you were trapped in Biosphere 2 for three years, who would you bring: Time Magazine's Woman of the Year or Playboy's Playmate of the Year?” We watched our favorite 90s romantic comedy The Truth About Cats and Dogs with our friend Oscar Montoya from HBO Max’s Minx. This 90s catfish story by the way of Cyrano de Bergerac is super charming, and classic ‘Best Friend Cinema’. Is there anything gay men love more than two women getting along in a movie? We talk about pre-sexting phone sex, 1996’s

161. Jennifer's Body with special guest Lauren Ogle

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/08/26

"Hell is a teenage girl." We talk about the Karyn Kusama cult horror comedy Jennifer's Body this week with our bestie Lauren Ogle from Keep it Weird, and we can't help but be lesbigay for Megan Fox. As Jennifer Check, the demon possesed boy killer who chows down on the patriarchy, Fox has never been more in her element. The Diablo Cody penned script was sorely overlooked when it came out in 2009, but has since been reassesed as a feminst classic. We love its lead heroine Anita "Needy" Lesnicki

2022/08/19

Not all girls want to play with dolls. It’s been 27 years since Todd Solondz’s Welcome to the Dollhouse, and we’re here to tell you that it's still savage AF. Seth Subin from @jerkofalltrades joins us again to discuss this pitch black coming-of- age comedy, and we really just want to give Dawn Wiener a hug and tell her it’s all going to be alright. We get into the 90s icon that is Heather Matarazzo as the ultimate outsider in us all. Dawn launched her to bigger movies like 54, Princess Diaries,

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/08/12

Girl power takes over this week on MTMUG, and we had our friend Courtney Barriger over to watch Spice World (1997). This camp classic Hard Days Night take on the 90s girl group phenomenon "The Spice Girls" took us all back. Ginger, Scary, Baby, Sporty, and Posh. We love all of these empowered women, and their movie is an out of control good time. Name another film that has an alien encounter, a high octane speed boat chase, boot camp choreography, a fashion montage, and live child birth scene! And

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2022/08/05

"I believe I have the first sentence." We watched The Hours (2002) with MTMUG SuperStar Jackson Cooper and we are ready to get sad! Can you believe this titan of gayness of 20 years old? The sheer star power of Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore is enough to power all of West Hollywood for a month! We talk about where we were when we realized this wasn't just a movie about glamourous and nervous white ladies,but about lesbians through the ages. Nicole Kidman (and to some degree her
