Movies That Made Us Gay

“Hold on tight, spider monkey.” We watched “Twilight” with our friend Harper Thomson, and we all took our burgers with extra ketchup. We’re closing out our “Kristen-mas” season with the first installment of the “Twilight Saga,” and this movie is insane in the best possible way. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have gotten a lot of flack over the years for their portrayals of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, but they were making some real choices, and let’s be honest— real teenagers can be insufferable sometimes, so maybe those choices were valid. Meanwhile, K-Stew and R-Pats are living their best post-franchise lives, making interesting movies, and being generally cooler than any of us, so who’s laughing now? We talk about meme-able moments from the film, the interesting styling choices, and the lasting impact of the franchise on pop culture. Will this be the first review of the entire FIVE-film saga? Possibly. These movies only get kookier as they go on— stick around to find out!

“I’m a magnet for madness. Other people’s madness.” It’s Kristen-mastime on the podcast! Going into the holiday season, we are looking back at some of our favorite roles of Kristen Stewart on the podcast. We’re starting our holiday season with one of Kristen’s most acclaimed and watched Spencer from 2021. The second in the trilogy of Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín’s iconic women of history, Spencer is the ultimate swing for the fences, kooky, and non-traditional biopic its subject needed. It’s a q***r holiday classic that we never knew we needed in our lives, and got Kristen an Oscar nomination for best actress. Presented as “A fable from a true tragedy,” we follow Diana Spencer visiting the in-law royals at their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. A bizarre and oddly moving portrait of mental health and a marriage in crisis, this ain’t your Queen Mum’s biopic! Seriously, most of this movie plays as a straight-up horror movie complete with ghosts of Anne Boleyn, haunted houses, scarecrows, and body horror that would belong in a Cronenberg movie. We talk about how pitch-perfect Kristen is here and how much she nails Diana, Princess of Wales’s mannerisms. Our fascination with everything about the Royals and their portrayal in pop culture.

We don’t have a new Movies That Made Us Gay episode this week, but go over to the Patreon and listen to our new TV Shows that Keep Us Gay and listen to our Black Friday episode where we talk about the Twilight Zone!

“You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!” We take a trip to the Twilight Zone this month on TV Shows That Keep Us Gay. Running from 1959-1964, The Twilight Zone was the perfect blend of science fiction and fantasy, giving us memorable episodes that defined television of the 1960s. This show has fierce women, a cool mid-century aesthetic , and chilling and bizarre stories that still haunt our nightmares. We watched two episodes. The first being “Twenty-Two” from season 2, where a fierce woman keeps having a recurring nightmare about a mysterious hospital room. “Room for one more, honey.” The episode is more known today as one of the inspirations of the Final Destination series. Then we watched the classic “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” from season five, the ultimate Twilight Zone episode. We discuss the insane talent that came together for these classic episodes, our favorite Simpsons parodies, and the history of the iconic Thanksgiving Day marathon.

“Once, there was this day... this one day when... everyone realized they needed each other.” We watched the 2000s Katie Holmes Thanksgiving classic Pieces of April with a very special guest (Scott’s sister Nicole), and do you happen to have an oven we can borrow? Thanksgiving is always a polarizing holiday for a lot of people. Intense family interactions, ethically questionable historical roots, travel obligations, and emotional strain. All of that and more is found in this tight little indie directed by Peter Hedges. Holmes plays April, a 21-year-old who’s attempting to atone for how awful she was to her family growing up, as she attempts to cook Thanksgiving dinner for her mother dying of cancer (a terrific Patricia Clarkson), empathetic father (Oliver Platt), and her siblings (Allison Pill and John Gallagher Jr.) and grandmother (Alice Drummond). We talk about its Oscar-nominated performance by Patricia Clarkson, Katie Holmes’ post-Dawson’s Creek film work, and the complicated emotions going in its tight eighty minutes of screentime.

Do have an oven we can borrow? We talk this 00s Katie Holmes classic this Friday!

“Allow myself to introduce... myself.” Yeah, Baby! We finally talk about Austin Powers on the podcast, and double-featured “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997) and “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” (1999), and yes this sort of thing is my bag, baby! Mike Myers ruled comedy for a majority of the 1990s with hits like “Wayne’s World”, “So I Married and Axe Murderer”, and his shagadelic secret agent Austin (Danger) Powers that had every middle school boy in a chokehold of quotable lines. Way before there were memes, there was reciting iconic lines like “Do I make you h***y, baby?” and “Throw me a frickin’ bone here!” with all your friend group. We talk about the crater these characters left on pop culture of the late nineties and early 00s, the love letter to all of the James Bond movies, and the beautiful women at Austin’s side who we were obsessed with (Seriously, did anyone do the 90s like Liz Hurley?), and we’ll quote Mindy Sterling’s Frau Farbissina (Bring in the FEMBOTS!) until the day that we die! Both movies have so much comedy gold and peak camp going on in them. Are there diminishing returns as the movies went on? Maybe. Spy Who Shagged Me, while hilarious, is more or less a remake of the same movie, and Goldmember we don’t care to revisit. But, well always have a soft spot for Austin Powers the character, and how influential it was for our goofy personalities going into adulthood!
