October 21, 2023 True Crime in Academia Episode 76: The University of Texas Tower Shooting (Charles Whitman)
Hey, true crime friends! This week we will be discussing the University of Texas Tower Shooting that took place in early August 1966. Charles Whitman, an architectural engineering student and former US Marine, took the lives of 14 people and injured 31. However, this case is way more complicated than most mass shootings that have occurred since.
In this week's News Update, Joran van der Sloot- a longtime suspect in the Natalee Holloway disappearance from 2005- has admitted to her murder, and Cher has spoken out against the allegations that she "kidnapped" her adult son.

October 18, 2023 (ITBR Rewatches) "Pilot," SMASH S1 Ep1 w/ Dr. Andrew Rimby (Hosted by Christian Garcia)
Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $10 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠
Welcome to the premiere episode of ITBR Rewatches the iconic "Smash" 2012 American TV show! Hosted by Christian Garcia (Host of That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema)
Christian Garcia is joined by Dr. Andrew Rimby to discuss the “Pilot” episode of the NBC show “Smash” that premiered in 2012. Both Christian and Andrew agree that not many podcasts have covered the hit show “Smash” and there are even less TV show or movie adaptations that focus on the behind-the-scenes productions of Broadway and how it pushed the envelope in terms of storytelling and controversial topics.
Christian and Andrew discuss the risky decisions made by the producers to display difficult director/actor relations as well as the difficulty in displaying a battle between two actors fighting for the leading role of Marilyn Monroe who herself was such a complex nuanced person to portray on a Broadway stage.
Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Pilot” episode:
World-renowned songwriting duo Julia Houston and Tom Levitt are inspired to create a new Broadway musical on the life of cultural icon Marilyn Monroe—instantly attracting the attention of tenacious producer Eileen Rand and brilliant yet temperamental director Derek Wills. As the four search for their leading lady, veteran actress Ivy Lynn becomes obsessed with winning the part and native Iowan waitress Karen Cartwright becomes desperate to make her theatrical dreams a reality.

October 16, 2023 "Finding a Photo of Your Grandmother in Male Drag," A Story about Jewish Immigration, Identity, and Liberation in Havana w/ Aaron Hamburger (author of "Hotel Cuba")
Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom
Aaron Hamburger, writer of "Nirvana is Here," returns to ITBR to discuss with Andrew his new book “Hotel Cuba" a stunning novel about two Russian Jewish sisters (Pearl and Frieda Kahn) who are desperate to get to America to make a new life. But once they are turned away from Ellis Island, they find themselves trapped in the sultry, hedonistic world of 1920s Havana.
Aaron opens up about the dramatic real-life inspiration behind his story which includes his grandmother’s immigration to America and her challenges with American law and security denying her entry/assimilation into the country. As Aaron explains, the inspiration for "Hotel Cuba" all started with his discovery of a photo of his grandmother dressed in male drag!
Aaron also speaks about the importance of standing up to antisemitism and racism and says “we’re all a little bit of everything… we have everything in us” asking us to find similar traits and commonalities in order to help us better understand each other. This episode was recorded before the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but Aaron opening up about his own family's Jewish immigration and liberation story speaks to the courage it took and still takes for immigrant families to "create a new future" in the face of extreme obstacles. May peace, love, and empathy win the day.

October 14, 2023 Are You the Gay Best Friend? The Phenomenon of the GBF in Pop Culture w/ Nicolas DiDomizio
Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠
Nicolas DiDomizio, author of "Burn It All Down," returns to the ITBR to discuss his new novel "The Gay Best Friend" which is a wedding comedy told entirely from the POV of the gay best man.
Nicolas shares with Andrew his inspiration for writing about the topic of the Gay Best Friend (GBF) trope and says, “it was interesting noticing who expected me to be loyal” in terms of girl best friends vs. guy best friends. Andrew also asks the question: “Why do you think so many women want to know what happens at a bachelor party, but the men aren’t necessarily asking women about what’s happening at bachelorette parties?”
Join Andrew and Nicolas as they discuss the novelty of the GBF and why queer centered stories can provide some much-needed nuance for future media. At the end of the show, Andrew even asks Nicolas to rate several GBFs in popular culture including "Sex and the City," "Mean Girls," "True Blood," "Will and Grace," "Clueless," and "Glee"! Who are some of your favorite GBFs?

October 07, 2023 (ITBR Teaches) Is the Barbie Movie Queer? w/ Dr. Ramzi Fawaz
Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $10 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠⁠
Dr. Ramzi Fawaz, a queer scholar with a PhD in American Studies, and a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison rejoins the ITBR to cover this part 2 series on discussing the Barbie Movie.
Ramzi makes us ask the question: Is the Barbie Movie About Gender or Sexuality...It's Complicated! He argues that the movie is about “the representations that we use to stand in for gender” reminding us of the powerful monologue by America Ferrera "You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin…” dictating the impossible standards placed upon women in this society that also has it’s negative effects on men.
Andrew agrees the gender expectations placed on men and women need to be discussed more openly as he asks “who is the #1 group committing suicide? It's men” highlighting the flaws with the popular gender standard that the man has to be the provider. Ramzi and Andrew also discuss the famed Depp v. Heard trial stating “why is it that in the realm of intimate companionship men and women are so at odds?” revealing the popular discourse brought by the trial on social media and the discussion of controversial social issues like the #MeToo movement and women’s rights.
We'd love to hear what you all thought about the "Barbie" movie so be sure to DM us and we'll share your response!
