GayV Club

We're back at long last, with "Is This Allowed????", an episode looking at the significance of sex scenes in LGBT cinema where we talk about how things such as the male gaze, queer objectification, plot relevancy, and intimacy co-ordination shape how we view sexuality in film.

Does having a bigger budget make a movie better? More importantly, does having a bigger budget make a movie gayer? In this episode, Deah and Merryana make a list of LGBT films with multi-million dollar budgets and investigate the hypothesis once posed by the great Freckle from 'The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo' - that sometimes things that are expensive are worse.
