This film is one that has always stuck with me. From the first time I saw it in the cinema, to the many years I owned it on DVD when I lived on the West Coast. It has been about 10 years since I've seen it and Mikey wanted to talk about it on the pod for June.

Both of us were a crying mess for many reasons but this tragic and emotional story is history and everyone should watch it. While the story ends in a brutal assassination, there is much to be learned here about community and the importance of unity despite differences.

Harvey Milk was an incredible leader and helped so many people and still does by having his mark on society. Being the first openly gay person to be elected to an official office and inspiration to many helped lay the groundwork in politics and the diversity we have today.

Directed by Gus Van Sant, and incredibly acted by Sean Penn (who won an Oscar for his role) this whole community was brought to life on film and even endorsed and collaborated with Harvey's own friends and colleagues.

We get into the history of getting this film made, how Sean Penn got into character, the personal connection of the wardrobe, and other facts from how the story played out in 1978.

Off-topic rants: We are Here tv series, The Boys, and (again) why we need a 'Hottie' President
