Arthouse Garage: A Movie Podcast

Arthouse Garage is back! After a long hiatus, the podcast is back to look at the best films of 2024. Film critic Russell Miller returns to the show to talk about the best scenes, performances, and films of the year.

On this episode, I interview the filmmakers behind BIG BOYS, a queer coming-of-age film that's playing at the 2024 Reel Queer Film Festival this Saturday, Aug. 10. Info and tickets at ReelQueerFilm.comWriter/director Corey Sherman and producer Allison Tate were kind enough to talk with me about this film, which is one of my favorite of the year so far. It's the rare queer coming-of-age story that's also a crowd-pleaser-- emotional, but ultimately sweet and funny. I highly recommend checking it out at the film festival this weekend or catching it on-demand.Links ReelQueerFilm.com BigBoysFilm.comConnect with Arthouse Garage Support us on Patreon Arthouse Garage shop Instagram Facebook Twitter Letterboxd YouTube Email us at Andrew@ArthouseGarage.com Subscribe to the email newsletter: arthousegarage.com/subscribe Theme music by Apauling Productions
