    Mary Steenburger in The Dink

    If one faget sees a baby perched at the end of a bed, but there are no other fagets paying close attention to the frame to see it, does the baby actually exist? Why do the immensely pleasurable late career films of French New Wave filmmakers go down so smoothly? Was this episode sponsored by Ambien? All these questions and more will be answered in this, France Week! On the once dead and now alive podcast movies imo, featuring three gays yapping on mic about the women’s liberation movement, the concept of weather, and getting h-word at the beach. This week, they’re discussing the following: Brandon: Let's go to the BEACH! With Éric Rohmer's Pauline at the Beach (1983) Daniel: Crossing the final Varda major work off the list! With One Sings, The Other Doesn't (1977) Give it a listen! Or don’t! It’s GAYline at the beach!

    All Cops Are BOING! - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind & Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion

    Who invented the phrase “rodent boyfriend” for the internet? From which canonical auteurs did George Clooney lift the most inspiration in his directorial debut? Is it appropriate to debate a Palme d’Or winner from an ocean away when you not only haven’t seen the film, but haven’t seen any of the other films in Competition? Who is Fjord and what did he do to you? The answers to all these questions and more will be revealed in this, another episode of the movies imo encore! This week the film faguettes brought the following topics to discuss: Ben: George Clooney’s directorial debut Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) Daniel: Elio Petri’s antifascist funhouse Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970) It’s “of a” week, everybody! And the fellas had one hell of a time together. Together they tell a whale of a tale, make a mountain out of a molehill, and once again find they can all be birds of a feather when it comes to cracking up and chatting chee-nee-ma. Turns out, all of a sudden — or even at the drop of a hat — having to wrap up another episode of the movies imo encore can be a bit of a sticky wicket… because you simply can’t have too much of a good thing. And what’s better than this!

    A Cure for Gayness

    In order to jumpstart your small business, at what point do you bully your husband into kidnapping a local child? How does Jessica Lange? And where do the eels go? All these questions and more will fly to alpine Europe and check into a local sanitarium — also known as movies imo encore — until they become answers.

Taking a peek at Verbinski’s A Cure for Wellness (2016) Let’s just say: points were made, this podcast was a movie, they “went off,” no lies were detected, etc. Kim Stanley forever!!

    The One Where They Discuss Lav Diaz’s Magellan and F. Gary Gary’s The Italian Job

    Had the Pope recently seen Lav Diaz’s latest picture before he formally blessed the art of slow cinema? What are EelPods? On a scale from one to ten, how homophobic was the real Ferdinand Magellan? How much misogyny can Charlize Theron overcome in order to successfully run her girlboss safe-cracking company? All these pressing questions (and more!) will be blasted wide open in this, another installment of the movies imo encore. What is movies imo? It’s a podcast. What’s a podcast? I don’t know! But this one is anchored by three gay guys who are known to most in the “podcasting space” as not merely being a little light in the loafers, but a little heavy on the crosstalk too. This week the crew (as in: Charlie Croker’s crew) break into the following topics: Brandon: See, We ARE Doing New Releases: All of Us Enjoying Lav Diaz's Magellan (2025) Daniel: Celebrating the D Line Extension with My Formative Metro Film Memory: F. Gary Gray's The Italian Job (2003) Beyond the act of plunder, what are the through lines between these two disparate films… Well, they don’t really get into that. But they do have a laugh along the way and hope you do too. EelPods!

    The Redemption of Chip Sludge

    How did they ever make a movie of revolutionary journalists falling in love amidst the whirlwind American communist movement of the 1910s? Why is Betty Buckley our greatest living vocal talent? Can you make a compelling drama without conflict? Will Sepideh Moafi win an Emmy for her indelible performance as the intrepid AI warrior-turned-valiant ER hero Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi? What is there left to even talk about now that The Pitt season two has ended?! All these burning inquiries will be grilled, chilled, and distilled throughout the near two-hour runtime of this, the latest audio missive from the living (but once dead) human triptych known in some professional quarters as movies imo but in other more personal quarters as a trio of active homosexuals. This week the comrades bring the following to discuss on mic: Ben: Remembering Bob Duvall with the titular tender mercy of Bruce Beresford’s Tender Mercies (1983) Daniel: Remembering the titular reds of Warren Beatty’s political epic Reds (1981) It’s time to dive into the sensitive Oscar-winning American cinema of Reagan’s first term! It’s time to laugh and cry! It’s time to forget the first name of every character in these movies! When it comes to processing all these occasions and more, to quote Barbra, the time has come…

    Roach-Like Behavior

    Why is Steven Spielberg so protective — much to Elaine May’s chagrin — of the franchising rights around that little alien they call E.T.? When you’re at the movie theater, how do you tell the difference between an actual ghost and just a plain old Laemmle matinee senior? And at what point must you stop cruising your fellow audience members and simply enjoy the film playing up there on that big screen? Is it safe to podcast in a tornado? Where did Brandon go? All these probing inquiries and more will be elucidated in this, the latest installment of the movies imo encore. This week, the resident film faguettes brought the following topics to discuss amongst themselves: Ben: Is The Princess Bride (1987) the single most beloved movie in existence today? Brandon: A double feature of Tsai Ming-liang blind spots: The Hole (1998) and Goodbye, Dragon Inn (2003) Fill me up!

    Gay Crime in the High Desert

    Have the most recent Academy Awards been so dissected to death that there’s anything left to pore over fagnostically? Which episodes of Lena Dunham’s Girls most stick in the brain, got stuck in the craw, and do or do not remain Brandon’s favorite episode of the series? Is it ever a good idea to fall in love if you’re a character in the Golden Age of Film Noir? What is a bee in a bonnet? All these questions and more will be picked apart by the yapping cultural excavators of movies imo in this, their latest encore installment of being “in community” in discussion of the fruity miscellanea in film and television that most recently caught their eyes. This week the ladies (Girls callback) brought the following to chat about: Brandon: A double feature of Girls episodes: S6E9 “Goodbye Tour” and S3E7 “Beach House” Daniel: A triple feature of “Third Wheel Noir”: Lewis Allen’s Desert Fury (1947), Anthony Mann’s Raw Deal (1948), Robert Siodmak’s Criss Cross (1949) What a laugh they have. They (Daniel) also insistently mispronounce the name of an iconic film auteur.

    Actually Heathcliff and Cathy are brother and sister

    What on earth is going on in St. Louis and who exactly is DTF in HBO’s newest original series? Why is this boorish gynecologist addressing the birds and the bees to a rowdy bunch of boys during the decline of the American midcentury? Did Heathcliff and Cathy go up to those Crags to fish? All these pressing matters - and more! - will be addressed by the talent: a murder of homosexual crows known as “movies imo” in this, their latest installment of talking to each other on microphones about the fruity miscellanea in film and teevee that caught their eyes this week. Here’s what the guys brought to chat about: Ben: The Plentiful Versions of Wuthering Heights on the Big Screen (1939 and 2011 edition) Daniel: Remembering Frederick Wiseman with two of his early ones: High School (1968) and Hospital (1970) [editor's note: Ben was right that the titular high school was in a predominantly Jewish area, despite the muted reaction from Brandon and Daniel] Moving forward, in an attempt to simplify the scope of “content” in a given episode, each film faguette will take a week off from bringing a topic to the table; this week Brandon gets to exhale now (Simon). Regardless of the shorter syllabus, they still had a whale of a time breaking the culture wide open and hope you do too.
