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!

231. Kill Bill:Vol 2 with special guest Nikolas Romero

2024/04/12

“I've killed a hell of a lot of people to get to this point, but I have only one more. The last one. The one I'm driving to right now. The only one left. And when I arrive at my destination, I am gonna kill Bill.” We watched “Kill Bill: Volume 2” with our friend Nikolas Romero and you and I have unfinished business. Originally planned as one long movie but split in two for various reasons, Volume 2 stands apart from Volume 1 in so many ways. In Vol 1 Uma Thurman’s “The Bride” went on a stylized,

230. Kill Bill Vol. 1 Directed by Quentin Tarantino

“Revenge is a dish best served cold” - Old Klingon proverb We got to our first Quentin Tarantino film on the podcast, and we picked the one movie of his filmography the queer community can all agree on. Kill Bill Vol. 1! Uma Thurman kicks major butt here, and it's one of the most iconic female roles of the 2000s. After an assassin is betrayed on her wedding day, she awakes from a coma, and goes after her fellow assasins who betrayed her. Seriously the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad DiVAS is

"I was adorable once, young and full of hope. And now look at me! I'm this short, fat, insecure, middle-aged THING!" We watched "The BIrdcage" (1996) with our friends Garrett Clayton and Blake Knight and ju can't handle our Guatemalan-ness! How exactly did it take us over 200 episodes to get to this queer classic?! Well we're finally here and hey, we just gave you an excuse to rewatch this gem. You're welcome. Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are bringing the laughs with these performances and man we

2024/03/22

"What is it you can't face?" We watched "The Sound of Music" from 1965 with our friend Mitchell Anderson and we could never answer to a whistle! Whether you grew up in a "The Sound of Music" house, a "Mary Poppins" house, or both we all grew up with a song in our hearts thanks to the legendary, the one and only Dame Julie Andrews. Even if you (sadly) didn't come up watching this movie you most likely know ALL the songs - they're built into the fabric of our culture whether you like it or not. Was

227. Splash Directed by Ron Howard

2024/03/15

"How is she? She's... she's a *mermaid*! I don't understand. All my life, I've been waiting for someone, and when I find her, she's a fish." We watched "Splash"(1984) directed by Ron Howard and we wish, we wish, we wish we were a fish. Tom Hanks really earns his reputation as the "everyman" in this movie and his chemistry with the ethereal Daryl Hannah is off the charts. They just don't make fantasy movies like they did in the '80s. The script is still funny as hell with Hanks and John Candy

2024/03/08

"Five years together, Scully. How many times have I been wrong? Never!" We watched "The X Files: Fight the Future" with our friend Ashley Casseday, co-host of the podcast Keep it Weird, and we want to believe!! The X Files was really a moment in time in which young people across the land thought to themselves "I may not have been sure about my sexuality up until this point - but from now on my sexual orientation is the cast of this show." Look, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny as Dana Scully and

Spring may be a few weeks away, but like Moira Rose, award season will always be our most favorite time of year! We welcome our good Judy Joshua Clement to talk about the 2024 Academy Awards, which will be on Sunday March 10th at the Dolby theater. We break down this year's nominees in every category - and talk about the very up in the air best actress race. It's one of the closest major categories in years. Will it be Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone, or Sandra Hüller? Let's face it - we love Annette

2024/03/01

"I never try anything. I just do it. And I don't beat clocks, just people! Wanna try me?" We watched the Russ Meyer classic "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" with our friend Darren Stein and we're all shook up baby! It's the 25th anniversary of one of our favorite films - "Jawbreaker" so we just had to have writer/director Darren Stein back on our show and it was dealers choice. In this house we love bad girls, so Darren's suggestion of this B-Movie T&A classic fits right in. We try not to spend the

2024/02/22

"Now clear your minds. It knows what scares you. It has from the very beginning. Don't give it any help, it knows too much already. Now, open the door." It's our season six premiere and we watched "Poltergeist" from 1982 and this house is clean! Poltergeist may very well be the definition of "Mama Slay Cinema" with JoBeth Williams, Beatrice Straight and the legendary Zelda Rubinstein bustin' ghosts and saving the children from the other side. Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper re-wrote the haunted

“But enough about me, let's talk about you... what do you think of me?” We watched "Beaches" (1988) with special guest filmmaker Berkley Brady and we're almost out of hankies. It's our Season 5 finale and we;re just about to take a few weeks off, but before we do we wanted to gift our listeners with our review of this classic dramedy featuring legendary performances by Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. Directed by Garry Marshall (impressions abound in the episode) Beaches portrays the lifelong

2023/12/22

"You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!" We watched "The Holiday" (2006) with our friend Michael Morgan and we've got a rustic English cottage available if anyone wants to swap houses. Does this Christmas themed, Nancy Meyers directed rom-com really need to be over two full hours? If you're into cottage-core and mid-aughts Jude Law then the answer is a resounding YES. Maybe this movie is a bit over-long, but our four leads Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and

Movies That Made Us Gay ·

2023/12/15

We watched John Waters' magnum opus "Female Trouble" and there's gonna be hell to pay if we don't get them cha-cha heels! John Waters is being hailed as the Pope of Trash and if you weren't sure why, go watch this movie. Dawn Davenport (Divine) is a thief and a sh!t kicker and she wants to be famous. I mean did this movie predict social media fame culture? Dawn as played by John's muse Divine is the ultimate bad girl and we as the audience get to track her journey from surley school girl to working

2023/12/08

"I go around throwing away perfectly good marriage proposals!" It's the holidays and we wanted some snow so we watched "LIttle Women" (1994) with Emily Ollero Jones from "Female Driven" Podcast and we're not crying - you are! We all grew up with the March Sisters and the Christmas season is the perfect time of year to revisit our favorite old timey feminist icons. We're spoiled for choice when it comes to film adaptaions of Louisa May Alcott's classic - but being the children of the 90's we are, we

"You alone can make my song take flight. It's over now, the music of the night." Did you not expect us to eventually get to an Andrew Lloyd Webber episode on the podcast? We watched the divisive Joel Schumacher 2004 big screen adaptation "The Phantom of the Opera". Musical theater gays might slap us accross the face with an opera glove for daring to defend this hardly-perfect screen adaptation. The gargatuan stage show took the world by storm when it debuted on London's West End in 1986 and

2023/11/24

"Wow! What a view!" "To a KILL!" We watched "A View to a Kill" with special guest Garrett Mitchell and this is now officially a Grace Jones appreciation podcast. With twenty five James Bond films to choose from, we thought long and hard about which one to cover here at MTMUG. Daniel Craig emerging from the sea like Ursula Andress before him in "Casino Royale" was hard to ignore, but the siren song of a platinum blonde Christopher Walken, the gorgeous "Sheena" herself Tanya Roberts and the ICON

2023/11/17

"TOP THAT!" We conjure one of the most important pieces of filmmaking to come out of the 80s this week, and watched Teen Witch staring Robin Lively with our friend Alex Steed. After a flop theatrical run in 1989, this kooky teen comedy about a sixteen year-old named Louise who discovers she has magical powers, ended up in heavy rotation on Disney Channel where it got its devoted following. Ya'll this movie is an insane explosion of late 80s camp! Complete with denim yoked skirts, crimped hair, and

"Angel versus Ferris. Whoever loses their virginity first, wins!" We take a trip back to 1980's summer camp and watched the coming of age classic 'Little Darlings' staring every Gen X-ers first crushes - Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal. A story revovling around two fifteen year-old girls competing to see who will be the first to lose their v card while at a summer camp could only happen in a movie from 1980. These kids smoke in broad daylight, they swear, they steal school buses and rip entire

2023/11/03

"You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back." We watched "Gattaca" from 1997, directed by Andrew Niccol and we're suddenly feeling less than... perfect. Imagine a place where everyone looks like Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law and you've got the genetically manipulated world of Gattaca. Being surrounded by all these ridiculously goodlooking people might be annoying in person, but it's business as usual in this film where genetically

2023/10/27

"Now children, are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin..." We watched "The Others" (2001) with our friend Andy Ur and we're not going mad - you're not our daughter! There's nothing we like more here at Movies That Made Us Gay than Nicole Kidman trapped in a house, slowly losing her mind. We still remember where we were when we learned the secret of The Others and here we are 22 years later - and we're still gagged. We love "Nicole Kidman with a shotgun Cinema" (Also see Cold Mountain). Did

2023/10/20

This spooky season we decided to revisit a Movies That Made Us Gay classic and bring you a fresh take on the 1994 hit "Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles" directed by Neil Jordan. Like Kirsten Dunst's Claudia we want some more! We love this movie so much we had to do a second episode. We talk about whether the AMC TV series has altered our opinions of the movie and if it comes across as "dated" now that we're closing in on 30 years. A discussion of Interview wouldn't be complete
