Queer Projection

You talkin to us? This week we climb into Travis Bickle's cab and ask a now common refrain - what the hell is wrong with men? Our very first Martin Scorsese flick on this pod is going to try and help us answer that question. Enjoy!

Two men alone on a spaceship for months with only an AI diva for company. Plus a creepy starbaby, and a bunch of people in ape costumes using the Meisner technique as best they can. That's right, we're covering our first Kubrick masterpiece this week! But really, how gay is HAL 9000? Open the pod bay doors and find out. Enjoy! 

Pull on your softest angora. This week we're taking on Tim Burton's strangest movie, which is saying a lot considering it's Tim Burton. BONUS Episode, considering there's LOTS of queer stuff in this one. 

Back again with PTA! Is this a Scientology movie? A war-trauma movie? A barely hidden gay romance? Do you drink paint thinner because you can't stop touching people? Have you ever built an entire cosmology to feed your ego (and your desire to touch people)? Well if you can't keep your hands, your mania, or your world-view to yourself, this is the movie for you. Enjoy (we sure did)! 

Back from our short summer break with a major favorite! Let's get on the tour bus, sing our hearts out to Tiny Dancer, and try and get between Penny Lane and Russell Hammond. Don't drink out of the red cups, don't imagine any of these people are your friends, and certainly DON'T take any quaaludes. Enjoy!

We're still taking a short summer break from our standard episodes, but in the meantime, here's a BONUS on the latest Spielberg sci-fi. For the first time in Queer Projection history, we've recorded this one TOGETHER in the SAME ROOM in BROOKLYN, NY. We raise our voices, we come to blows, we threaten our 30 year friendship over this movie, and we have lots of fun doing it! Enjoy! 

This week we're taking a long walk to see a dead body. Not that long walk. The other one. A remarkably tender, nostalgic, and soul-searching walk of course, because that's what you get with a semi-autobiographical Stephen King adaptation by way of the late, great Rob Reiner. Fetch your gunny sack, watch out for those underwear leeches, and let's take that long walk together. Enjoy!

No full episode this week! Instead, we bring you this BONUS little romp down Santa Monica Blvd with Sean Baker's 2015 iPhone indie hit. Enjoy! 

On the menu today is an alien invasion movie via M. Night Shyamalan through a judeo-christian Mel Gibson lens. Plus a Culkin brother, Joaquin Phoenix doing his best with what he has, and Abigail Breslin's debut. Served with corn. Enjoy! 

Blazers on, we're SAVING LATIN with Wes Anderson's sophomore feature and the birth of his indelible aesthetic. This one's a love fest as we rediscover Wes's grand thesis on the beauty of the fallible human heart, in full bloom. Jason Schwartzman's debut. Bill Murray at his absolute best. Enjoy!
