Merry Christmas!

The Merry Gentlemen

Does Netflix’s new release for 2024, The Merry Gentlemen, live up to its reputation as the Magic Mike of Christmas movies? No! And boy do we have a lot to say about why. This is our discoursiest episode of the season, so get ready to dig in to a discussion of sex work, homonormativy, masculinity on film, and the anatomy of a great onscreen kiss.  Gizmo the dog’s Instagram account [https://www.instagram.com/gizmonolan/], arguably the most important character in this movie.  Next week: Our Little Secret! --- Did you watch this movie too?

Christmas at the Ranch (with guest Alex)

Tello’s Christmas at the Ranch (2021) is our explicitly queer movie for the season. Lesbian farmhands! Horses! Questionable makeup application techniques! We brought in special guest, former horse girl Alex for their pony person perspective on a film we had high hopes for.  Enjoy Heather Hogan’s Autostraddle review [https://www.autostraddle.com/christmas-at-the-ranch/] of this movie that Nicole mentions.  Next week: The Merry Gentlemen! *** Did you watch this movie too?

Love Hard

Let's talk about the catfish in the room! Netflix’s Love Hard (2021) is a movie Nicole calls the offspring of How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and She’s All That.  We wanted even more discourse so we’re trying a new format this week where we speed-run our summary of the movie so we can get to the juicy stuff. What biases do dating platforms reproduce? Why can’t these characters connect to their own desires? Can you even catfish in a queer community? Justice for all the chubby, rat-tailed, mulleted, stone cold weirdos out there! May you all desire what you desire and give less fucks.  Next week: Christmas at the Ranch!  *** Did you watch this movie too?

The Knight Before Christmas

Gay tidings and happy December! We are starting season 3 with Vanessa Hudgen’s Netflix christmas classic, The Knight Before Christmas. The anachronisms are neither hither nor tither in this delightfully bland movie. Suspend your disbelief and join us in this festive romp through time, space, and at times, reason.  Here’s the Vulture article [https://www.vulture.com/2019/11/a-serious-conversation-about-the-knight-before-christmas.html] Nicole mentions that theorizes how this movie might fit into the Princess Switch timeline.  Next week: Love Hard!  - Did you watch this movie too?
