Four Favorites with Kyle Turner: Greta Gerwig, dancing Pacino and messy queers

Ahoy sexies! Self-described “writer person” Kyle Turner joins Mitchell and Mia to discuss his new book, The Queer Film Guide: 100 Great Movies That Tell LGBTQIA+ Stories, available now online and in bookstores. We take a deep dive into Kyle’s chronicling of over a century in queer film, while also exploring his four favorites: Cruising, Clue, Frances Ha and Spa Night. Topics include: Gregg Araki’s unique autograph style, sleeveless shirts are gay rights, Al Pacino dancing in an S&M bar, loving our problematic faves, Clue’s alternate ending gamble, be gay do communism, “MY WIFE”, the delightful messiness, fluidity and evolution of queer representation, Greta Gerwig is White Mother, the beauty in naïveté and the miracle that is The Christmas List.
