Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 with special guest Drew Stanley
"More human than human" is our motto. We watched "Blade Runner" (1982) and "Blade Runner 2049" (2017) with our friend Drew Stanley, and we're in the market for one of those replicant owls. The original "Blade Runner" is a sci-fi classic, and while Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard couldn't be any more straight, the replicant Roy Batty as portrayed by Danish import Rutger Hauer is so queer-coded we're still talking about it 40 years later. Director Ridley Scott's "Cassette Punk" vision of Los Angeles in 2019 by way of 1982 is so grimy, analogue, and punk rock... it almost matches up with modern tech. Swap...

271. Constantine with special guest Amy Lozano
“I know I'm not one of your favorites. I'm not even welcome in your house. But I could use a little attention.” Pete’s sister Amy joins us to talk about our favorite leading man, Keanu Reeves, in "Constantine", which just had its 20th anniversary last month. We know this movie is hardly perfect, but this cast, though. Keanu Reeves was directly after he made the Matrix sequels, and Rachel Weisz has a face card that none of us can deny. We’d gladly go to Hell and back for these two. Truly a fever dream of the mid-00s. Tilda...

Season Six Finale While You Were Sleeping with special guest Moranne Keeler
“Lucy, you are born into a family. You do not join them like you do the Marines.” It’s the Season Six Finale, and we watched “While You Were Sleeping” with our favorite gal pal, Moranne Keeler, and boy do we love us some Sandra Bullock. We spend a good portion of the pod pondering over that certain quality Sandra possesses that draws us to her every time. She’s been America’s Sweetheart since the ‘90s when she drove that bus right down the freeway, straight to our hearts. That X-factor quality really comes in handy when you’re leading a movie...

Gladiator II with special guest Joshua Clement
"Strength and Honor." It’s our Black Friday episode, and we’re celebrating Galicked this week and are discussing Ridley Scott’s long-awaited Gladiator II. An old-fashioned sword and sandal epic that both the gays and straights can equally enjoy, this might not match the prestige of its Oscar-winning predecessor, but there’s a lot of fun going on here. It’s nice to see this type of historic blockbuster embrace its gay Ancient Rome roots and lean more into the camp of its material. Get us a fan, because we’re verklempt from all of the insanely hot men on displ...

“Are you all comfortable?

Now we know there are a ton of Hercule Poirot mysteries to choose from - from Albert Finney to Kenneth Branagh - all of them filled with the most glamorous leading ladies in Hollywood history.

Drew Barrymore is having a bit of a career renaissance these days with her super charming, super viral (personal space anyone?) talk show, but we're taking it back with this one. Twenty Five Years to be exact! It was 1998 and Hollywood was still experiencing a contact high from Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" and we wanted more retellings of the classics through a 90's lens!

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Directed by Steven Spielberg
"Hey, lady. You call him Dr. Jones!" We watched "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" directed by Steven Spielberg and it's just the two of us today. Some people might say this is the weakest entry in the Indiana Jones film saga. Those people are incorrect. Harrison Ford is at peak hotness with a brand new body-ody-ody courtesy of "Body by Jake" himself.

“Personally, Veda’s convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young.” Break out the shoulder pads, because we finally got to Mildred Pierce (1945) this week with our good friend Jackson Cooper. In the role of Joan Crawford's career, she's perfection. Going from a down on her luck housewife, to restaurateur, Mildred is the fierce working girl that we all strive to be. Crawford won her first and only Oscar for Mildred Pierce, and is regarded as one of the great leading lady performances of classical Hollywood cinema. This supporting cast is also a barnburner.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory with special guest Jared Anderson
“Hold your breath, make a wish, count to three”, because we got to the 1971 classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory with our bestie Jared Anderson. Arguably one of the weirdest children’s movies ever made, and one we still can’t shake off. When Charlie Bucket gets the coveted Golden Ticket to tour a mysterious candy maker’s factory insanity ensues when the ticket winners start getting taken out like the cast of Midsommer.

The masses may have been sleeping on this camp classic for the past 35 years but, as usual, the gays know whats up. She-Devil was Meryl Streep’s first real entry into comedy and her portrayal of the Jackie Collins-esque Mary Fisher is pure camp. Roseanne Barr, fresh off the first season of her hit sitcom, is the titular She-Devil but time and attitudes have changed and her character Ruth Patchett...

Beautiful Thing with special guest Jesse Krempel
"It's not natural, is it? A girl at her age being into Mama Cass." We watched the 1996 British film Beautiful Thing with Jesse Krempel from Cult Cinema Circle. As one of the most beloved "gay" movies from the 1990s, Beautiful Thing always feels a little more special than a traditonal "coming out" story. Set around a tower block South-London apartment building we follow Jamie (Glen Berry) and his neighbor Ste (Scott Neal) as they navigate their budding sexuality, and feelings for each other. We love this sweet movie (filled with the hits of Cass Elliot), as well as its s...

There’s wouldn’t be the 1991 Disney animated movie, or power ballad music videos, if it weren’t for Cocteau’s flamboyant take on the ye old 1757 French fairy tale.

This 90s catfish story by the way of Cyrano de Bergerac is super charming, and classic ‘Best Friend Cinema’. Is there anything gay men love more than two women getting along in a movie?

Steve Spielberg's 1991 continuation of Peter Pan gave us iconic performances and a couple of arguably draggy character pieces. Dame Maggie Smith in Granny Wendy Drag and Dustin Hoffman in Captain Hook High Drag are at the top of the list but Robin Williams and Dante Basco are giving them a run for the money. Robin's 30-something Peter Banning (Pan) goes from executive realness to cosplay queen while Dante as Rufio is serving Mother of the House of Lost Boys in fu...

Baby Tom Cruise is prancing around without any pants, Mia Sara is serving high-fashion face, face, beauty, face and Tim Curry is giving us CAMP as gym-bunny muscle-queen Lord of Darkness.

Clocking in at a brisk 87 minutes (shorter than the length of this episode!) this quickie sequel cranks up the scares, the gore and the casual nudity - not to mention the wall-to-wall cute boys. Pretty-boy Scott (Russel Todd), sensitive Mark (Tom McBride), oversexed Jeff (Bill Randolph), even prankster Ted (Stuart Charno) can all hit it six ways to Sunday.

It’s a buddy, caper, heist, road movie made for, you know... ladies. We watched Outrageous Fortune (1987) with our friend Greg Lightner and we agree - you boff Romeo over Hamlet any day. Bette Midler and Shelley Long play an Odd Couple at each other throats and apparently they kept it up behind the scenes as well. We talk about the drama behind who got top billing and who spilled tea on Oprah but lets face it - the real reason we watched this movie over and over again was to learn Bette’s monologues. Calling actors “bulls*****rs who get p...

Sleepaway Camp with special guest Mike Toscano
This movie did for summer camps what Friday the 13th already did two years earlier. We watched Sleepaway Camp (1983) with the very funny Mike Toscano and we need an adult! What can we say? This movie is wild. The characters in this movie are so rotted you’re actually rooting for the killer by the end. And oh, what an ending! Do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

The Lost Boys with special guest Billy Roach
My own brother a vampire… you wait until mom finds out! We watched The Lost Boys (1987) with one of our favorite straights Billy Roach. This movie is so 80’s we can’t stand it. From insane glam rock inspired fashion and hair to the absolutely slammin soundtrack - this movie is a time capsule of the hard rockin MTV 80’s. It’s also got so many cute boys in the cast we lost count. We get real deep into vampire lore and Pete and Billy nerd-out over a certain vamp themed table top role-playing game. Collectively we’ve seen this movie close...

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark with special guest Ben Cheaves
She’s not just a great set of boobs... she’s also an incredible pair of legs. And when all is said and done, she only asks to be remembered by two simple words... any two as long as they’re simple. We watched Elvira, Mistress of the Dark with friend of the show Ben Cheaves and you can call us... tonight. This movie has become a touchstone for gays across the land. We talk Elvira’s ability to read you to filth at a moments notice, her agency in the face of adversity and her slammin bod. This movie, much...

Showgirls with special guest Dan Renzi
Somebody get me some brown rice, vegetables and a bottle of Evian! We watched Showgirls (1995) with special guest Dan Renzi (The Real World, The Challenge) and all we want is a burger, fries and a soda. People proclaim Showgirls to be the “best worst movie” but our friend Dan is here to tell you you’re half wrong. We hash out why Showgirls is actually a solid piece of cinema in spite of and in some cases because of it’s over the top acting, insane script and explicit nudity.

Back To The Beach the "lost" episode on location from Palm Springs
It only took us a year but we finally got our act together. We started recording Back To The Beach (1987) on a lovely Palm Springs vacation when disaster stuck and half of the episode got lost in the mysterious "cloud." We dusted off this artifact from MTMUG past and shined it up like a new penny - for you! This beach movie throwback to the 60's by way of the 80's is so darn charming, funny and full of cute boys in wetsuits you'll be quoting it all summer.

Encino Man with special guests Ashley and Handsome Joe from Keep It Weird

We watched Encino Man (1992) with MTMUG All Star Ashley Casseday from Keep It Weird (with an extra special guest appearance by Handsome Joe) and we're all Crazy for Fra-zee!

Beside’s Brendan’s dreamy face and bangin’ bod, this movie has tons of gay touchstones. Rachel Weisz is serving face and Patricia Velasquez is snatching trophies in the body beautiful category.

We talk wigs, wardrobe and wicked witchery as we make our way through this George Miller directed 80’s classic.

From Chris O'Donnell in the new and improved Nightwing suit to Uma Thurman serving up some Eleganza Extravaganza drag excellence, to Bruce and Dick trading barbs, this movie has all the ingredients to turn any kid into a card carrying Friend of Alfred.

We get real deep into our love for this iconic family in all their forms - from the original sitcom, to the Brady Bunch Variety Hour, The Brady Brides, A Very Brady Christmas and beyond.

We watched Poison Ivy (1992) with 3 time MTMUG guest Michael Morgan and we are still clutching our pearls. Our forever homegirl Drew Barrymore plays the mysterious nympho Ivy to Sara Gilbert’s mousy Sylvie. These two misunderstood teens from opposite ends of the tracks become instant best friends with dangerous consequences!

This early 90’s noir tackles the real problems of being a single gal in the city - sexism at work, adulterous boyfriends and creepy obsessive puppy kicking roommates who practice casual at-home nudity and attempt to take over your life.

Sally Field is at her comedic best against comedy giants Whoopi Goldberg and Kevin Kline and there are major scene stealing moments from icons Carrie Fisher and Cathy Moriarty.

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead with special guest Mark Rosenberg
We're right on top of that Rose! Scott and Pete sat down with the very funny #friendofthepod Mark Rosenberg (This Made Me Think of You - available on Amazon) and watched Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead! This movie has everything a little gay boy could ask for - tricking adults into thinking you're older, drag queens boosting a car and teenage Josh Charles (swoon). Sue Ellen (Christina Applegate) may be in over her head at General Apparel West but the general apparel in her closet is everything! Throw in some lip sync worthy performances by Joanna Cassidy as "Sw...

Batman Forever with special guest Dylan Hay-Chapman
Pete and Scott are joined by friend of the pod and the big bro they never had Dylan Hay-Chapman. They watched Batman Forever (1995) and even though this movie is crazy queer the boys needed help from the straights to sort it all out. They break down NIcole Kidman’s questionable (at times) sultry American accent, dissect the evolution of Chris O’Donnell’s Robin costume and gag over the draggy performances by Sugar & Spice (Drew Barrymore & Debi Mazar). Also Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones are in this movie somewhere. It’s episode 13 and these are the Movies That Made Us Gay...

Dick (1999) Directed by Andrew Fleming
Hello Dollies... this week Scott and Pete watched the 1999 comedy Dick and they can't get enough! They're transported back to the 70's through spot on costumes, period perfect set design and impeccable styling. The only tell being late 90's era pencil thin eyebrows. Another in a long list of female buddy comedies that every gay teenage boy can latch on to amid the backdrop of political intrigue and roller disco. We can say without hyperbole that Michelle Williams and Kiki Dunst have never matched these performances. Say it with us... I love Dick!! Thanks for listening and don't forget to...

Masters Of The Universe with special guest Chris Cirigliano
Very Special friend of the podcast Chris Cirigliano (Very Special Television) joined the boys this week to watch Masters Of The Universe (1987). Chris provides the first straight-dude point of view to show as we review this tale of a hyper-masculine beefcake from another world who drops out of the sky into 1980s Earth. This movie has everything; an oiled up Swede, a bio queen, and that girl from the Springsteen video (I wonder if she ever went on to do anything with her career). Did our obsession with this musclebound hero actually turn us gay? Did Evil-Lyn's fierce lewks fos...

Get out your puka shell necklace and un-cancel Stephen Baldwin because we're taking a trip to 1994.

Baby Boom
Pete and Scott are joined by longtime friend and resident mom Moranne Klassen to talk about Baby Boom (1987) - the pearl of mid 80’s baby-movie mania. We clock the first instances of chunky turtlenecks, rustic kitchens and WASPy diatribes that come to be touchstones in a long line of Diane Keaton/Nancy Myers collaborations. We’re also joined by a real live baby who adds a little bit of credibility to our musings on the working moms of the 1980s. Grab some homemade Country Baby Applesauce and green clay face mask, sit back and relax as we walk you throug...

Carrie with special guest Manny Valdez
Scott and Pete are joined by friend of the podcast Manny Valdez (@itchy_tasty) to discuss the groundbreaking horror classic Carrie (1978)! The boys geek out over what superpower they would want (telekinesis - duh) and the parallels between poor scary-Carrie and poor(ly reviewed) Dark Phoenix. We also get into the tour de force performance by one miss MTMUG superstar Nancy Allen. Get into it. Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes!

Mannequin with special guest Millie De Chirico
Scott and Pete are joined by the hilarious Millie De Chirico (Sordid Details) and there are major fangirl vibes. Together these afficionados of pop culture knowledge tackle the 1987 nutso comedy Mannequin. This ultra-80's, coke fueled (allegedly), fantasy has more gay connections than the Starbucks on the corner of Santa Monica and Robertson. Join them as they attempt to play six degrees of James Spader and connect the dots between a Philadelphia mannequin factory and the ancient Egyptian afterlife.

Scott and Pete are joined by Tim Murdock of Happy Horror TIMe! to talk about Poltergeist III! Venture into the realm of this super gay horror movie with them as Carole Anne moves into an ultra-modern high rise with her possibly hot Uncle Bruce (Tom Skerritt) and 80's power-b!#@h Aunt Pat (Nancy Allen). We get a visit from everyones favorite magic little person Tangina (Zelda Rubenstein) and we gag over Carole Anne's super queeny therapist Dr. Seaton (Richard Fire).

A bunch of 7 year olds gather in a glamorous old movie theater to watch Olivia Newton John roller boogie with Gene Kelly on the silver screen and into the gay history books.
