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!

"No, I've never heard of air rights. What are air rights?" We watched "Burlesque with our friend Paul Caiola from "That Aged Well," and we would like 3 tickets for tonight’s floor show at the Burlesque Lounge. We're willing to look past this pop-up book version of Hollywood, the questionable business practices of the venue, and even the legality of these so-called "air rights," but we will not sit idly by while Cher gets upstaged by "a tacky farm girl from Iowa." Listen, this movie is a whole bunch

"There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand." We're back with a brand new season and we watch "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" directed by Tim Burton and even after all these years we can't contain our joy after viewing this comedy masterpiece. We really lost an icon when Paul Reubens passed so we're celebrating his legacy reviewing Pee-wee on his quest to find his prized bicycle. We

2024/12/30

“Lucy, you are born into a family. You do not join them like you do the Marines.” It’s the Season Six Finale, and we watched “While You Were Sleeping” with our favorite gal pal, Moranne Keeler, and boy do we love us some Sandra Bullock. We spend a good portion of the pod pondering over that certain quality Sandra possesses that draws us to her every time. She’s been America’s Sweetheart since the ‘90s when she drove that bus right down the freeway, straight to our hearts. That X-factor quality

2024/12/20

“It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags.” It’s our official Christmas week episode, and what better way to get into the holiday season than to watch the millennial favorite Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, directed by Ron Howard, with our friend Jessica Delgadillo. We aren’t saying this movie doesn’t have its problems, but there’s just something about it that gives us the Christmasy feels and keep us coming back to it every year. Is it maybe

“Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. You can't fire me, I quit! Seems I don't fit in.” It’s a Rankin/Bass “Animagic” Christmas Spectacular here at Movies That Made Us Gay, and we watched “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “The Year Without a Santa Claus,” “The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus,” and “Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey” 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,

“Children can be nasty, don't you think?” We watched the camp classic “The Bad Seed” from 1956 this week with Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven”, and what will you give us for a basket of kisses? Of all the bad-ass bitches in cinema history, there isn’t 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 wouldn’t have Damien Thorn from “The Omen”, Esther from

2024/11/29

"Strength and Honor." It’s our Black Friday episode, and we’re celebrating Galicked this week and are discussing Ridley Scott’s 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 there’s a lot of fun going on here. It’s 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,

"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

2024/11/15

“Waaaarrrrrriliorsss, come out to pla-i-ay!” We watched “The Warriors” 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 “timeless” nature of the movie (is it set in a dystopian future?), the homoeroticism in the

2024/11/08

“That bum. So what if he has a Porsche? He can't treat you like this. It's Friday night!” We watched “The Terminator” (1984), and you should listen with us if you want to live! We covered T2 back in 2022, but we’re here to talk about the original— the mother of independent blockbusters. It doesn’t get any more ‘80s “Tech Noir” than riding through the streets of downtown Los Angeles to an electronic atonal soundtrack while being chased by Arnold Schwarzenegger in wrap-around sunglasses.

2024/10/31

“What an excellent day for an exorcism.” We watched the mother of all horror movies “The Exorcist” 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 ‘70s style of filmmaking - this thing feels like a documentary in parts. The realism also extends to the subject matter and

2024/10/25

“Susie... Sarah... I once read that names which begin with the letter 'S' are the names of SNAKES! Sssss! Ssssss!” We watched “Suspiria” (1977) with our friend Devin Lotfi (I Don't Want to Hear That Podcast) and we’re taking a trip down the witches road (no, not that one). You can’t get any more niche than 1970’s Italian horror, but our man Dario Argentina is the master and “Suspiria” is the icon of the genre. Argento’s stylized use of primary colors gives the movie an expressionistic vibe and

2024/10/18

"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

"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

“I don't think I can take 9 months of this.” “Silly Chucky. It's a voodoo pregnancy. It's accelerated.” We’re coming at you with another double feature - we watched “Bride of Chucky” and its sequel “Seed of “Chucky” with Travis McMaster and we’re really gonna miss Chucky. This episode was recorded days before the news hit that the Chucky television series had been cancelled and we’re gutted to hear. But the pod must go on! This series was already a solid horror franchise, but their lean into camp

“Last night, you were unhinged. You were like some desperate howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again.” We watched “The Addams Family” with our friends Michael and Callum from the amazing podcast “Once Upon a VHS” and we have the sudden urge for Girl Scout cookies. We’ve already covered the diva Debbie Jellinsky from the iconic sequel “Addams Family Values” in a previous episode, and now we’re here to talk about where it all started. This entire cast is a complete and total serve from

“I 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

2024/09/13

"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

"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
