Just before William Friedkin broke onto the Hollywood scene with his Oscar-winning films of the '70s, he directed The Boys in The Band in 1970, an adaptation of the acclaimed gay play of the same name by Mart Crowley. Kevin and Jake aren't entirely sure why Friedkin felt like he was the guy to direct this movie, but even more confusing to audiences was Friedkin's 1980 film, Cruising, starring Al Pacino as a cop investigating a serial killer plaguing the gay BDSM community of New York City. Join your hosts Kevin and Jake as we dive into the making of these two films and how they have stood the test of time. Our miniseries of our favorite cinematic sissies continues with the campy, sissy rock singer, Beef, played by Gerrit Graham in the 1973 film Phantom of the Paradise from Brian de Palma.
