Welcome to the "The Cost of Art" episode of ITBR Rewatches the iconic "Smash" 2012 American TV show! Hosted by Christian Garcia (Host of That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema). American author and poet, Elizabeth Winder enters the ITBR to provide insight on the life of Marilyn Monroe and how Marilyn would’ve felt seeing a Broadway musical about her life. In this episode of ITBR, Christian talks about the humor between the ensemble and how they help one another despite all of the drama surrounding the Marilyn musical. Then, Elizabeth argues that Marilyn "was made for stage acting” and imagines what it would’ve been like if Marilyn left Hollywood to become a stage actor. Finally, Elizabeth discusses Marilyn’s struggles as an actor having to social climb in a male dominated industry. You don't want to miss this group's thoughts on Nick Jonas' guest appearance and the song "I Never Met a Wolf Who Didn't Love to Howl" which explores Marilyn's encounters with the wolves (predatory men) of Hollywood! Join us and Elizabeth again for episode five, “Let’s Be Bad"!

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "The Cost of Art" episode:

When Derek hosts a party for young teen star Lyle West, Eileen seizes the opportunity to try a new strategy for raising funds. Karen learns how to increase her chances of success in the high-stakes world of Broadway and Tom goes on a special first date.

Award-winning writer, Scott Alexander Hess enters the ITBR to promote his new novella, “A Season in Delhi” and to discuss episode 6, " The Art of Desperation,” of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show! Scott and Andrew discuss Brian’s attractiveness in the QAF world and compare him to Oscar Wilde’s “Dorian Gray” because just like Lord Henry, the QAF characters dictate that Brian is the most attractive and seductive gay man in their group. Furthermore, Scott shares his frustration with Ted’s insecurity towards Roger and argues in a long-term relationship “you love more and more and more just the person like their heart and soul…” allowing one to look past their partner's quirks and shortcomings. Finally, Scott opens up about how queer culture has moved away from the club scene into different avenues.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the, "The Art of Desperation” episode:

Michael's new chiropractor boyfriend gets into a tug of war with Brian over Michael, as Ted recovers from his O.D. by dating Roger, a stable but overweight chorus director. Also, Justin meets Lindsay, who is impressed with his artwork.

Editor-in-Chief and Founder of the G&LR, Richard Schneider Jr. enters the ITBR to discuss the 30 year anniversary of the G&LR. Richard founded The Harvard Gay & Lesbian Review in 1994 and dropped the Harvard affiliation in the early 2000s and has remained its editor-in-chief ever since. Andrew and Richard discuss a change occurring in media as viewers move away from sitcom and scripted shows more towards reality TV. Richard also discusses a novel named “Ink from the Pen” by Mark Olmsted who becomes stuck in the LA county prison system and finds various unfair social and ethnic structures within the prison system allowing for some to hold positions of privilege over others. Finally, Richard discusses some of their recent reviews about Queer representation in video games, comic books, and dating apps like Grindr. Subscribe to the G&LR to receive their upcoming anniversary edition book titled “Outer Appearances,” set to release in January 2024 and will be a commemorative book of illustrations.

Actor, singer, model, and host of various podcasts such as "Words of the Witches" and "Solving for X," Kevin Gadzalinski, enters the ITBR to discuss episode 5: "Now Approaching...The Line,” of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show!

Kevin and Andrew discuss viewing QAF through a bisexual lens, and Kevin explains his personal journey as a bi man, especially watching a show that focuses exclusively on gay male representation. He explains that having more bi male representation in the show would amplify queer male voices! Kevin and Andrew discuss male sexuality in the theater world and whether or not being a queer male actor plays a role in which parts you receive? Finally, Kevin and Andrew discuss the competitiveness within queer and straight women friend groups and Andrew asks, “do you feel that straight men have to deal with negotiating all of these obstacles with their male friends”?

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Now Approaching...The Line” episode:

Michael fends off the romantic interest of a female coworker who doesn't know he's gay and instead dates a handsome chiropractor, while Brian is propositioned by a potentially lucrative client of his firm. Meanwhile, Justin struggles to repair his fractured relationship with his mother Jennifer.
