Of course Brian's picking one of the few "gay" movies of the 90s for his birthday episode. Starring Keanu Reeves and the late-great River Phoenix, "Idaho" was an indie hit in 1991, its box office quadrupling its budget. But, just how gay is Gus Van Sant's male sex worker opus by today's standards? And is this movie a road trip, a love story, a docudrama, a Shakespearian tragedy or something else? And is it simply all too much? The Old Roommates relax by a soundstage campfire and give it all a revisit ... through their middle-aged lens. Stay awake and join them.
