In episode thirty-nine of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about their favorite films from the queer canon in a Very Special Pride Edition of the podcast. Ben brings Jennie Livingston’s seminal Harlem vogueing documentary PARIS IS BURNING to illustrate its portrayal of the American Dream (as well as Kenneth Anger’s subversive touchstone FIREWORKS and Todd Haynes’s First Amendment firebrand POISON), Daniel celebrates Donna Dietch’s DESERT HEARTS for its queering of the western milieu and strong character work (and also Pedro Almodóvar’s queer noir LAW OF DESIRE starring a murderous, smoldering Antonio Banderas), and Brandon makes sure that everyone knows to watch James Ivory’s magnetic MAURICE on account of it being his new favorite film (in addition to Jamie Babbit’s idiosyncratic, stylish comedy BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER). Happy Pride to our queer family, now and forever. ✊🏼🏳️🌈
