A podcast highlighting LGBTQ films through the years, hosted by Manish and David.

    21 – Billy Elliot (2000)

    Your hosts David (@darnthatdave) and Manish (@themanish89) are back from hiatus with an all new decade of queer films to explore! First up is 2000's Billy Elliot starring Jamie Bell and Julie Walters. The hosts discuss the queerness of the movie, the performances, and the historical context.

    20 – The Wizard of Oz (1939)

    20 – The Wizard of Oz (1939)

    Your hosts Manish (@themanish89) and David (@daveagiannini) end their look at queer films in the 1930s with, you guessed it, 1939’s The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland. They discuss whether or not this is the most gay movie ever made, or at least the most gay movie they’ve covered so far. Tap your heels together and get ready for a new decade in the next episode. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57e05e534402434aa0f846c2/t/604aeaab44935263cbf5e601/1615522534126/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+20+-+The+Wiza.mp3/original/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+20+-+The+Wiza.mp3

    19 – Stage Door (1937) and Hotel du Nord (1938)

    19 – Stage Door (1937) and Hotel du Nord (1938)

    On a special episode of the podcast series that takes a look at queer cinema year by year, your hosts Manish (@themanish89) and David (@daveagiannini) head towards the end of the 1930s with two films from two years: Stage Door from 1937 and Hotel du Nord from 1938! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57e05e534402434aa0f846c2/t/603716302cd4a70fc50d7df1/1614223022666/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+19+-+Stage+Do.mp3/original/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+19+-+Stage+Do.mp3

    18 – Dracula’s Daughter (1936)

    18 – Dracula’s Daughter (1936)

    Manish (@themanish89) and David (@daveagiannini) discuss a horror movie that’s certainly of its time, 1936’s Dracula’s Daughter. The film is provocative, with its female vampire longing for women, despite the climate of the ‘30s and the overt homophobia. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57e05e534402434aa0f846c2/t/601a2ec9c9852b7f1eb6cc5f/1612328702348/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+18+-+Dracula_.mp3/original/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+18+-+Dracula_.mp3

    17 – Sylvia Scarlett (1935)

    17 – Sylvia Scarlett (1935)

    Manish (@themanish89) and David (@daveagiannini), in their journey through queer films through the years, reach a low point, surprisingly, with this 1935 film. Sylvia Scarlett is directed by George Cukor and stars Katharine Hepburn (in drag) and Cary Grant, what could go wrong? Well… At least we’ll always have Holiday and The Philadelphia Story. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57e05e534402434aa0f846c2/t/5fff11d66b4309444cec80c9/1610551825177/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+17+-+Sylvia+S.mp3/original/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+17+-+Sylvia+S.mp3

    16 – The Gay Divorcee (1934)

    16 – The Gay Divorcee (1934)

    Manish (@themanish89) and David (@daveagiannini) reach the year 1934 in their quest to watch queer films through the decades. They discuss The Gay Divorcee, the Best Picture nominee, starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The film features plenty of long musical numbers and most importantly, a gay-coded character played by Edward Everett Horton, which they dissect the importance of. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57e05e534402434aa0f846c2/t/5fea1e82c2e88e05e1e0659c/1609178908913/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+16+-+The+Gay.mp3/original/Queer+and+Now_+Episode+16+-+The+Gay.mp3
