"Release the Kraken!" We watched Clash of the Titans (1981) with our friend Darren Elms and we're ready to face Medusa! This Sword and Sandals epic may be from the early '80s but the cast, the costumes and the classic stop motion effects make you think twice (was it made in the '60s?). Heavily rerun throughout our youth we got to know Harry Hamiln's Perseus on his quest to defeat the gorgon Medusa and the "titan" the Kraken and we certainly got to know that body-ody-dy. But it's the women in this cast that made us revisit this movie every time. No one plays a woman scorned like Dame Maggie Smith as Thetis against Sir Laurence Olivier's mighty Zeus. The pantheon of Olympians in this movie is mostly women and they are fierce. Come on - Ursula Andress as Aphrodite! The ethereral Judi Bowker as Andromeda and Siân Phillips as her mother Cassiopeia are serving it up on a platter and the Stygian Witches are giving gruesome threesome first time in drag on Halloween. Throw in Pegasus, a little clockwork owl who speaks in whistles (and definitely isn't an R2-D2 ripoff) and the scariest incarnation of Medusa put on film and you have yourself a charming, nostalgic and super fun time.

“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, gore filled killing spree, while here, her focus shifts from revenge to reuniting with her daughter. The body count in drastically lowered but the action set pieces are just as amazing. And speaking of Daryl Hannah – we learn how Elle Driver lost her eye, we get some great dialogue between her and Budd (Michael Madsen) and that fight scene… MTV movie award winner for Best Fight 2005 indeed!

“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 filled out with equally fierce women we are obessed with. Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, and Lucy Liu are all serves. We talk about all the film references that Tarantino drew on when creating his hightened cinimeatic world the Bride lives in, how Uma should have made the best actress lineup, and what is it about the first volume that resonates with us the most. We'll be covering Vol. 2 next week!

"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 were quoting and lol'ing all the way through. Listen it's not lost on us that in 2024 there would be some major issues with the casting - Robin being straight and Hank Azaria being... not latin. But there is an authenticity to Robin's performance that the four of us as card-carrying gay men really appreciated. The heavy-hitter supporting cast really knocks this movie out of the park. Gene Hackman and Diane Wiest were bringing the laughs as the ultra conservative in-laws and Christine Baranski is gold - per usual. Mix in drag queens, Miami Beach street scenes full of scantily clad muscle dudes and jokes on jokes on jokes and you've got yourself a hit. If there was any justice in this world Nathan Lane would have gotten an Oscar for this performance. "Oh God, I pierced the toast!"

"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 "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" in a shampoo commercial? Why exactly is "My Favorite Things" now suddently a Christmas song? Listen, theres a reason pop stars are giving up residuals to include samples of these songs - the music slaps and it will just make your music better (we're looking at you Gwen Stafani and Ariana Grande). Aside from Julie Andrews, AND the iconic music we are also here to talk about one miss Eleanor Parker as The Baroness. While Julie is serving humble beginnings and dresses evern the poor don't want, Eleanor Parker invented glamour and is forever the Queen of looks. Aboslutely no notes. This movie may be pushing three hours, but we don't care - it flies by. The last act might be a little uncomfortable to get through for modern audiences and we get it, but Christopher Plummer sees that flag hanging above his door, yanks it down and rips it to shreds with his bare hands. Icon.

"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 playing so well off each other as brothers and Hannah's Madison stealing every scene she's in. At times it really plays like a live action updated Little Mermaid but some of the best moments come from what the script doesnt tell us. Did Madison make a deal with a Sea Witch to get her legs? Will Allen get a tail if stays with Madison? Did the events in Freddie's letters to Penthouse Forum really happen? Ron Howard trusted the audience to fill in the blanks and Splash is a better movie for it. And by the way - Disey+ removed the weird CGI hair extensions so we can marvel at Daryl's bum - as Ron always intended.

"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 Fox Mulder are queer icons and we will not be taking any questions. When The X FIles movie was released we may not have grasped the high concept story line or the deep mythology of the show but we sure as hell loved watching Scully and Mulder on the silver screen. And don't get us started on that kiss! (Check out the deleted/extended scenes on youtube - you can thank us later). We talk about our history with the show, our feelings on the sequel and of course since Ashley is joining us we talk about some spooky, weird, strange and unusual phenomenon. Get ready for a paranormal journey to the late 90s because the truth is out there!

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 Bening and Carey Mulligan but it's just not their year. We also fully acknowledge the very likely Oppenheimer sweep as well as the overblown Barbie "controversy". If you want to get deep in the weeds with some real Inside Baseball Oscar talk, you've come to the right place. Break out your ballots and your rented Harry Winston jewels and join us for our annual Oscars Special!

"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 entire length of the pod talking about how we wish we could be an ounce as cool as the incomparable Tura Satana but we may or may not have achieved that goal. We also take a dip into the real Tura and her actual life that could be a movie in and of itself. Don't worry we spend plenty of time gushing over Haji, Lori Williams and Sue Bernard as well. They just don't make bad girls like they used to! Patron Saint of Movies That Made Us Gay, John Waters famously remarked that this movie is "beyond a doubt, the best movie ever made. It is possibly better than any film that will be made in the future" and damed if he aint right about that. Let's see AI write dialogue better than this: "Women! They let 'em vote, smoke and drive - even put 'em in pants! And what happens? A Democrat for President!"

"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 house trope bringing it to a brand new house in a sleepy suburb and a generation never looked at a staticy T.V. the same way again. The creepy lullaby score by Jerry Goldsmith only adds to the Amblin-esque quality of this '80s classic and not for nothing but Craig T. Nelson was making us feel some type of way serving '80s dad realness and we thank him for his service.

“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 friendship of CC Bloom and HIllary Whitney through the ups and downs of their lives and careers. We breakdown the caliber of celebrity CC reaches, how rich Hillary actually is and wonder in amazement at the theatrical masterpiece that is "Oh Industry." We laugh, we cry, we laugh again - there are some great lines in this one.

"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 Law are charming and Meyers gifted us with a movie house we've been lusting after since we first laid eyes on it. Kate Winslet's Iris lives at the fictional "Rosehill Cottage" and not since "Practical Magic" have we been so enthralled by a fictional location, even though this one looks like it sprung from the mind of Thomas Kinkade. The premise of The Holiday might stretch our abililty to suspend our disbelief but we don't care! This movie is a comfort watch and we'll carve out that 2 hours and 16 minutes every year to get carried away to sprint through the English countryside (in stilettos) with Cam and Jude and bask in the warm Santa Ana winds of Los Angeles with Kate and Jack.

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 single mom and finally to the worlds most glamorous criminal. Don't worry though, Dawn gets hers and goodness prevails in the end. Along for the ride are the usual Dreamland favorites, Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pierce and of course Aunt Ida herself the incomprable Edith Massey. Aunt Ida was the first voice ever heard on this podcast and we couldn't have said it better ourselves... "The world of othe heterosexual is a sick and boring life."

"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 decided on the GIllian Amrstrong directed 1994 version starring Gen X Queen Winona Ryder. While our main focus is the '90s version we can't help but talk about the other three adaptations - all iconic in their own way. But this cast is just... chef's kiss! We're just going to say it - Christian Bale is our favorite Laurie, sorry Timothée! And speaking of Winona, this just so happens to be the Seventh (!) Wino movie featured on MTMUG! We start the episode with a quiz on Winona classics then go over the idea of the March families "genteel poverty", Amy's aging from one actress to another and how we all wanted to live in ye olde olden days when we were kids. We love porcelain dolls and ribbon curls but we'll take our electric flat iron over molten hot cast iron any day.

"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 musical theater was never the same. We reminisce about where we were when we first encountered The Phantom as well as the LONG journey to get from stage to screen. Was Joel Schumacher the perfect/only choice to direct? Andrew Lloyd Webber thought so. Let's be honest, it took a homosexual to really bring to life the camp, the spectacle, the pure theatricality of Phantom. Listen, when you have material complete with snyth-pop power ballads, underground boudoirs and crashing chandeliers, things are bound to get shall we say, theatrical. Hand the director of "Batman & Robin" and "The Lost Boys" the reins and the results are... well the results are a gothic, camp, swashbuckling piece of cinema. Cheers Joel wherever you are!

"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 Grace Jones made "A View to a Kill" a no brainer. Walken's tech-bro villain has aspirations of monoplizing the Silicon Valley by way of a "double earthquake" and floods, but thats not why were here. Jones as the first ever hench-Woman May Day is serving looks, spouting quips and perfoming feats of strength that had us screaming "Mother!" every time she was on screen. Okay, we can talk about Roger Moore playing Bond for the Seventh(!) and final time. For 57 years young, Moore was still turning it out as Bond. He more than made up for a lack of chemistry with his leading Bond girl with some great scenes with Grace. And we can't forget the killer theme song by Duran Duran - pure 80's new wave radness!

"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 the whitest of rap battles, the famous musical sequences (Top That, and I Like Boys) have been burned into everyone's brain since. We discuss Joshua Miller's stealing the movie with his insane portrayal of younger brother Richie, Louise's Doctor Manhattan-level witchy powers, and what this movie has in comon with Teen Wolf and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The rules of witchraft as laid out in Teen Wich may be muddy (did Louise erase her nerdy/hot blind date from existence?), but the fashions, catchphrases and spontaneous rap battles will always be a part of our collective consciousness.

"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 prophylactic machines off gas station bathroom walls. This movie is the anti "Camp Rock." We already knew Kristy and Tatum had that andogynous quality about them both that made boys and girls across America feel some tyoe of way, but in struts a teenage Matt Dillon and an entire generation of kids were never the same. That hair, those cutoffs, that bad attitude! We get that this movie could never be made today, based on the subject matter alone, but in the end the bad girl from the wrong side of the tracks and the poor little rich girl both learn valuable lessons.

"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 manipulating unborn children is the norm. In the "not too distant future" depicted through a retro-futurist lense we get the clean lines, chromed out details and mid-century modern design that we immediately latched on to when we first saw this movie. Our three annoyingly beautiful leads fit in perfectly in this meticulously crafted world. Uma Thurman looks like a photograph in every shot, Ethan Hawke has never looked better and Jude Law... baby Jude Law really makes you understand why he was the most in-demand actor in Hollywood in the early 2000's. Don't be mistaken - these three genetically gifted humans are more than just pretty faces - they act the hell out of this movie. Ethan and Jude are giving bickering married couple - we were chanting "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" in more than one of their scenes together - and Uma takes what could be a thankless role and really shines. Gattaca is an allegory for anyone who has ever felt "othered" by society wrapped in a cool sci-fi package. Get into it.

"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 The Others start off a new genre? Maybe. We dive into the final collaboration between Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise before their divorce and the curious timing of Nic's career shooting into overdrive. We also start off with a quick quiz on the hits of 2001 - who says 1999 is the only greatest movie year ever?
