“Lucy, you are born into a family. You do not join them like you do the Marines.” It’s the Season Six Finale, and we watched “While You Were Sleeping” with our favorite gal pal, Moranne Keeler, and boy do we love us some Sandra Bullock. We spend a good portion of the pod pondering over that certain quality Sandra possesses that draws us to her every time. She’s been America’s Sweetheart since the ‘90s when she drove that bus right down the freeway, straight to our hearts. That X-factor quality really comes in handy when you’re leading a movie in which the plot could come across as a little sta ..read more

“It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags.” It’s our official Christmas week episode, and what better way to get into the holiday season than to watch the millennial favorite Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, directed by Ron Howard, with our friend Jessica Delgadillo. We aren’t saying this movie doesn’t have its problems, but there’s just something about it that gives us the Christmasy feels and keep us coming back to it every year. Is it maybe the funniest Jim Carrey has ever been? Seriously, it's like bizarre performance art. Is Christi ..read more

“Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. You can't fire me, I quit! Seems I don't fit in.” It’s a Rankin/Bass “Animagic” Christmas Spectacular here at Movies That Made Us Gay, and we watched “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “The Year Without a Santa Claus,” “The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus,” and “Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey” with our friend Harper Thomson and we still want to visit the island of misfit toys. These charming stop-motion animation TV specials from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s have been airing for as long as any of us can remember, and it’s just not the ho ..read more

“Children can be nasty, don't you think?” We watched the camp classic “The Bad Seed” from 1956 this week with Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven”, and what will you give us for a basket of kisses? Of all the bad-ass bitches in cinema history, there isn’t anyone quite like Rhonda Penmark, played by Patty McCormick. Rotted to the core, Rhonda is a child serial killer and psychopath who manipulates all the adults around her.  We wouldn’t have Damien Thorn from “The Omen”, Esther from “Orphan”, or Mac Culkin in “The Good Son” if it weren’t for Patty McCormack’s iconic performa ..read more

"Strength and Honor." It’s our Black Friday episode, and we’re celebrating Galicked this week and are discussing Ridley Scott’s long-awaited Gladiator II. An old-fashioned sword and sandal epic that both the gays and straights can equally enjoy, this might not match the prestige of its Oscar-winning predecessor, but there’s a lot of fun going on here. It’s nice to see this type of historic blockbuster embrace its gay Ancient Rome roots and lean more into the camp of its material. Get us a fan, because we’re verklempt from all of the insanely hot men on display here. We’d risk it all for a nigh ..read more

"I am in a dress, I have gel in my hair, I haven't slept all night, I'm starved, and I'm armed! Don't *mess* with me!" We had author and comedian Elizabeth Teets over to discuss the Sandra Bullock classic Miss Congeniality, and HEY I'M GLIDING HERE!  We love a movie in which an otherwise stunner like Sandy Bullock is slapped with some glasses, frizzed out hair and a penchant for tripping over things and suddently we are to believe she's some kind of crone no straight man would give a second look to. We are suspending our disbelief for the sake of comedy and beleive me - Sandy is selling i ..read more

Spring may be a few weeks away, but like Moira Rose, award season will always be our most favorite time of year! We welcome our good Judy Joshua Clement to talk about the 2024 Academy Awards, which will be on Sunday March 10th at the Dolby theater. We break down this year's nominees in every category - and talk about the very up in the air best actress race. It's one of the closest major categories in years. Will it be Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone, or Sandra Hüller? Let's face it - we love Annette Bening and Carey Mulligan but it's just not their year. We also fully acknowledge the very likely O ..read more

We have a special October treat for ya'll. It's our first extra special interview on the podcast! We chat with actress Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: the Dream Child). We talk about Lisa's love for horror movies growing in Missouri, her start in showbiz, and getting cast as the iconic Alice in the Nightmare series, as well as some of her upcoming projects.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitte ..read more

"I would like, if I may... to take you... on a strange journey." We're finally doing the Time Warp this week on the podcast and talking about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" with our friend Jackson Cooper. Call it the mother of all cult films, and brain child of its star Richard O'Brien, this odd ball musical that was far ahead of its time has racked up countless loyal fans and we're still analyzing this fever dream almost five decades later!  Janet and Brad (Susan Surandon and Barry Bostwick) are a couple of newly-engaged bores who suffer a breakdown one fateful dark and stormy night, ou ..read more

“Waaaarrrrrriliorsss, come out to pla-i-ay!” We watched “The Warriors” with our friend Rudy Bleu… Can you dig it?  This movie is so amazing, but the story of its production is just as wild as the movie itself. Actual gang members as extras, main cast members getting jumped while in their wardrobe, general violence and mayhem abounding, and yet they still managed to make a great movie. We talk about the “timeless” nature of the movie (is it set in a dystopian future?), the homoeroticism in the script, and the cast jam-packed full of hotties.  We also discuss which gang we would join b ..read more
