Queer Projection

By: Alethia St. Joan and Daniel Carroll
Listen for free

This is a movie podcast about finding queer themes damn near everywhere. Hosts Alethia St. Joan and Danny Carroll share a 30+ year friendship that has been bound together by a shared love for movies. A trans woman and a gay man respectively, Alethia and Danny explore what these movies meant to them while they were young and closeted, and what revisiting these movies means for the actualized, arguably maladjusted adults they’ve become. It’s a heady, often crass and sometimes crude blend - part nostalgia trip, part queer theory, part film criticism. Check it out!

    Don't @ us. For the 1999 crowd, this was a major event. Is this a bad movie? Is this a sinister movie? Is this a misunderstood movie? We're going to try and figure that out while navigating around the Kevin Spacey shaped elephant in the room. Cue the marimba, and enjoy!

    You've likely never seen this one. A home video VHS short from the early 90s that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlQurqYjS_g

    This is a lot different from our usual episodes, kid. We get real personal. For better or worse. Let's dive into the dialogue between the big G and the big T.

    Enjoy!

    No, this isn't a film about the first president. This is David Gordon Green's debut film about the miserable state of forming a self-identity in the midst of impoverished youth. It's very much not Pineapple Express, if that's the only DGG movie you've seen - but it's got remarkable bits of the Righteous Gemstones in there. Or at least I think so. If you haven't seen this one before, make your way over to the Criterion Closet and let's take a ride through the rust belt. Enjoy!
