BGM: Bad Gay Movies = Bitchy Gay Men

It’s always a pleasure to have brilliant film scholar Gregory Rosebrugh on the show, and this time Bil and Daniel talk to him about the highs and lows of the 2015 Canadian drama Closet Monster by Stephen Dunn.

Shakespeare, sister! Bil hadn’t seen Were The World Mine since it premiered at Inside Out many enchanted moons ago and was sure it would still please him when his special returning guest Michael Lyons suggested it as a topic of conversation for BGM. Does it hold up? Find out by listening in!

Every good hook-up in the woods should start with a tarot card reading, or at least that’s what Bil, Daniel and Michael decided when they reunited to talk about Devil’s Path, which returns them to the universe of the great Matthew Montgomery.

Bil invites actor and playwright Adam Bailey to BGM for the first time and they discuss a film that, half a year later, is still a contentious experience for all involved. Listen to their discussion on Billy Eichner and Nicholas Stoller’s Bros.

New episode! It was an honour for us at BGM that podcaster and author Matt Baume made time to sit down and talk to us about Herbert Ross’s The Last Of Sheila, though owing to the fact that both he and Bil loved the movie and because Matt is so great to talk to about anything, the conversation got off topic quite often.

After you check out our new episode, go pre-order Matt’s new book Hi Honey, I’m Homo! coming May 23!

*Note: At the time we recorded this episode, Raquel Welch had not yet passed away, in case you’re wondering why we’re talking about her without mentioning her in past tense!

Between their shared love of movies and all things Isabelle Huppert, it’s no surprise that Bil and Nicholas Bell of the Fish Jelly podcast and Ion Cinema constantly go off topic, but they do their best to keep things centred on their discussion of Robert Aldrich’s The Killing Of Sister George.

Bil is a huge fan of the Fish Jelly podcast so he was thrilled when one of its hosts, Joseph Robinson, agreed to sit down and talk about the 1981 horror film Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (aka Night Warning).
