In this episode, Emily and Quinn talk about Mart Crowley’s The Boys In The Band. We analyze its 1970 & 2020 film iterations, as well as the political context of its various theater revivals. As one of the first representations of gay men in the film, The Boys In The Band is an essential introduction to considering LGBT+ media & politics.
