AJ Mattioli, of Mattioli Productions, sits down with The Queer Queue to discuss the process of indie queer filmmaking when those filmmakers are looking for a platform for their work. We discuss the shortcomings of finding a platform and why the queer community should be supporting indie queer production and distribution companies, and queer-focused platforms like Revry, Here TV, etc.

Queer Queue sits down with the creators of HBO's new docuseries "The Lady and the Dale", Zackary Drucker, and Nick Cammilleri. "The Lady and the Dale" is available to stream on HBO & HBO Max, and the series focuses on the life of Elizabeth Carmichael.

The Queer Queue sat down with "Girl/Girl Scene" and "Dagger Kiss" creator Tucky Williams to discuss representation in media, support for independent creators, and negative backlashes queer independent creators face. Take a listen to this invigorating conversation with a multitalented creator!

Merry Christmas Eve! Why is it so important to have an authentic, positive representation of an underrepresented identity in film/media? Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss “A Fantastic Woman”. Sebastián Lelio’s film follows Marina, a trans singer (played by the consultant to the film and all-around fantastic actress/singer, Dani Vega), as she runs the gauntlet of abuse all in the name of claiming the grief she deserves to express for her deceased lover. We discuss color theory, fantastical plot devices, and symbolism in this masterwork of a character study. We discuss why films like “A Fantastic Woman” are vital, how authorship can be interpreted, the new wave of queer women, and our season-long theme of water and femininity. Points to anyone who tallies up how often we say “fantastic”! Thank you for tuning in to this season, we love having all of you here with us, and stay tuned for more!

Can a toxic relationship at the center of a romantic comedy still make it romantic? Find out as LINNA and Nic discuss Desiree Akhavan’s debut, “Appropriate Behavior”. The film follows Akhavan as Shirin, a closeted bisexual as she finds her way to move on from a breakup. We discuss unlikeable characters, Lena Dunham comparisons, Bi and Iranian-American representation, and our theories on why comedy and queer women narratives shifted from the 2000s to 2010s. Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! Our final episode on this season of the new wave in queer woman cinema will be released on Christmas Eve this Thursday, 12/24. Graphic credit: @theflimsyartist

Do you know what saving face means? You’ll soon find out how deep that meaning goes and how it applies to family, honor, and tradition. This is “Saving Face”. Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss closeted Wil, a Chinese-American woman finding love in New York City while also dealing with her scandal-riddled mom. We discuss representation, queer reclamation, and all things Alice Wu. Thank you for tuning in and stay tuned for more! New episodes released every Tuesday and Thursday. Graphic credit: @theflimsyartist

Conversion therapy! Coming out! Metaphors for AIDS and gender roles! Take a listen to LINNA and Nic discuss “But I’m A Cheerleader”, a film about cheerleader Megan (Natasha Lyonne), who comes to terms with her sexuality and finds love at a conversion camp.

Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! New episodes released every Tuesday and Thursday. Graphic credit: @theflimsyartist

Who is the Watermelon Woman? Listen in and join LINNA and Nic to find out. Cheryl Dunye’s “The Watermelon Woman” tracks a filmmaker’s documentary exploits in finding out who the elusive Watermelon Woman is. Along the way, romance and comedy take form.

New episodes released every Tuesday and Thursday. Graphic credit: @theflimsyartist

The first episode of season two has arrived! Listen in and join LINNA and Nic in their discussion of Chantal Akerman’s “Je, Tu, Il, Elle”.

New episodes released every Tuesday and Thursday. Graphic credit: @theflimsyartist

Can punk and funk go together? The answer to that question is answered in our final episode of the season. Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss “Young Soul Rebels”. Isaac Julien’s film follows two disc jockeys, Chris and Caz (Valentine Nonyela and Mo Sesay), as they try to break into mainstream London radio, as well as solve the murder of one of their friends, TJ. We discuss all things British in 1977, the power of tender male friendships, gatekeeping, and the importance of representation in New Queer Cinema. As we near Election Day here in the United States, we urge our listeners to use their voice to vote and create positive change in the world. Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more!

Have a nice day. That’s how “My Own Private Idaho” ends, but we probably shouldn’t get too ahead of ourselves! Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss one of the most well-known New Queer Cinema films. We follow Mike Waters (River Phoenix) and Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves) as they bond and traverse the streets of the Pacific Northwest as hustlers. Their friendship takes them not only across the country but also to Europe as they search for what home means to them. Is “My Own Private Idaho” high art or mainstream New Queer Cinema? Find out! Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! Our final episode on this season of transgressive gays in New Queer Cinema will be released this Friday, 10/30.

Historians will say they were roommates. You may have heard of Christopher Marlowe’s play “Edward II”, but did you know that the long-ago King of England was a bit queer? Derek Jarman retells the ill-fated king’s story through a queer lens, reclaiming queer identity not just for King Edward II, but for all queer royalty. Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss historical accuracy, queer anachronisms, and all things Tilda Swinton, the ultimate queer muse. ALSO, we have a surprise guest: Nic’s cat! Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! New episodes released every Wednesday and Friday.

We’ll discuss what queer identity reclamation looks like and the complexity of queer relationships. Don’t forget sadomasochism! Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! New episodes released every Wednesday and Friday.

Who’s ready for a little Poison? Join LINNA and Nic, and listen in. Todd Haynes’ Poison is a film told in three separate stories: “Hero”, “Horror”, and “Homo”. Each story is an homage to a different genre, and each story meditates on queer identity and how mainstream, heteronormative society views this identity. What are the effects of society on a queer person? Listen in and find out! Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! New episodes released every Wednesday and Friday.

First episode has arrived! Join LINNA and Nic in celebrating their inaugural episode with a listen. Gregg Araki’s The Living End follows a drifter and a film critic as they hit the road as gay lovers who meditate on their HIV positive status and hatred towards mainstream, heteronormative society. Hailed as the gay Thelma and Louise, The Living End embodies the anger and apathy towards a society and a life that did not care for queer identity. Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! New episodes released every Wednesday and Friday.
