This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Dave Green's Coyote Vs Acme finally reach cinema screens after a long and perilous journey which saw the film face actual deletion at one point, before common sense prevailed. Green is our guest this week, and he tells Helen O'Hara about the arduous experience he went through, and the film itself, which is a joyous affair. Either side of that, Chris Hewitt returns to the host's chair and is joined by Helen, James Dyer and Amon Warmann to talk about their favourite movies and how often they see them; discuss 'vs' movies; look at the week's movie news, including the sad passing of Dolly Parton (however, this episode was recorded before the news that Tim Curry and Peter Cullen had also left us; we will pay tribute to them next week), and a perplexing move from Ryan Gosling; and review Coyote Vs Acme, Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars, Pedro Almodovar's Bitter Christmas, Gregg Araki's I Want Your Sex, and Will Gluck's One Night Only, which sparks a Helen rant for the ages. Oh, and an old friend of the pod makes an unexpected return, much to Helen's delight. Enjoy.

Hope Hopkinson talks to writer and director Gregg Araki about his new film, I Want Your Sex. I WANT YOUR SEX tells the story of Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), a kind-hearted if unmotivated twentysomething whose fantasies quickly come true when he lands a job with renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde). When Erika breaks down office boundaries and takes Elliot on as her sexual muse and subordinate, their sexually charged relationship makes him question his own desires, boundaries, and relationships with his uptight girlfriend (Charli XCX) and repressed roommate (Chase Sui Wonders). As the stakes heighten and power dynamics shift, the film mixes satire, romantic comedy, mystery, and murder through the colourful and edgy visual language for which Araki is best known.

For this Out Takes, we looked at two very different queer films adapted from much loved books, got the scoop on the program of one of our favourite Sydney queer film festivals and revisited our interview with Gregg Araki, whose latest film is in cinemas this week. First up was our review of ‘Here the Whole Time’ from Brazilian writer and translator Vitor Martins whose debut novel won the Best Translated Young Adult Book award from the Global Literature in Libraries Initiative and is published in 9 countries. The story follows a 15 day period during their school break where two young guys are thrown together and come to realise that all of the things on the surface that make them so different is also the ingredients that bring them together. The book was described as the ultimate feel-good YA romance which celebrates body positivity, self-acceptance and standing up to bullying and homophobia and it is now a gorgeous and uplifting feature film available to watch now on Netflix. Next up we took a look at ‘The Chronology of Water’, the directorial debut from Kristen Stewart that is adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch's autobiographical bestseller. Brought up in an environment torn apart by violence, abuse, alcohol and extreme trauma, the story follows Lidia's journey to find her own voice in an exploration of how trauma can be transformed into art through re-possessing our own bloody histories, particularly those uniquely experienced by the bodies of women and girls. We then moved on to the 13th Queer Screen Film Festival which is back on in Sydney from September 2 – 8 and on demand from the 9 – 16. This year's program features 28 films plus the return of the Queer Screen Pitch Off Competition and Emerging Narrative Feature Competition, and, for the first time, Queer Screen Studio — a high-octane day of masterclasses, practical panels, and elite networking, from mastering the perfect investor pitch to navigating global festival circuits and post-production secrets. We caught up with Queer Screen’s CEO Benson Wu and it’s Programming Assistant Celeste Diep to get all of the details on this year’s festival including the special guests and events on offer alongside a great line-up of feature and short films. We finished up by revisiting our interview from June with Gregg Araki, the legendary queer filmmaker noted for his involvement with the New Queer Cinema movement whose latest film ‘I Want Your Sex’ is in select Australian cinemas from August 27. His filmography includes the Teenage Apocalypse film trilogy from the 90’s and his 2010 film ‘Kaboom’ was also the inaugural winner of the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival. His latest film stars Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman and Charli XCX in what has been described as an enjoyably outrageous, risqué sex-comedy, set in the Los Angeles contemporary art scene. We jumped at the chance to speak with him earlier this year and in this interview, we discussed his motivation for telling this story, his influence on the lead characters and how he feels now about being labelled one of the pioneers of New Queer Cinema. The post Queer Screen 2026, reviews of ‘Here The Whole Time’ and The Chronology of Water’ plus Gregg Araki appeared first on Out Takes.

They start with The Rivals of Amziah King directed by Andrew Patterson before moving onto The End of Oak Street directed by David Robert Mitchell, Her Private Hell directed by Nicholas Winding-Refn, and wrap up with I Want Your Sex directed by Gregg Araki.

DJ should be on a cruise. Instead, he's doing taxes because his travel companion waited until the last possible second to remember one tiny problem: there's a warrant out for his arrest. Then DJ and Kelly recap a VERY busy week at the movies, including One Night Only, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Super Troopers 3 and I Want Your Sex. Which movies worked, which didn't, and why exactly is One Night Only essentially “The Purge, but for sex”? Elsewhere: why Dungeons & Dragons creates instant secondhand embarrassment, whether Gen Z's declining interest in drinking and dating might have something to do with how insanely expensive it is to leave the house, DJ's unwavering devotion to Irish Spring 5-in-1, rising electricity bills, political hypocrisy, the WNBA protest stunt, and the Lindsay Clancy trial.

Unfortunately, that does not apply to Gregg Araki's first feature film in 12 years, “I Want Your Sex”, but us being cinephiles we of course had to make room for a discussion of that too. No, we're talking of course about “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”. Look, you've probably seen it already. You probably havee feelings about it. We certainly have feelings about it.

Why bad sex and bad relationships can still teach us something The difference between a regrettable experience and a harmful one Whether Gen Z is sexually repressed or simply more cautious How fear of judgment is changing flirting, dating and intimacy The mistakes gay men commonly make during breakups Why heartbreak can be valuable information What today's queer cinema may have lost The freedom and danger of queer life in the 1990s America's ongoing fear of sexual pleasure Why consent and sexual adventure are not opposites The central question: Can we protect ourselves from genuine harm without becoming so afraid of discomfort, rejection and regret that we stop allowing ourselves to be transformed?

Sex is back, baby! In the fun new movie I Want Your Sex, Olivia Wilde plays Erika, a mixed-media artist who enters into a very consensual, very kinky, but very unprofessional sub/dom relationship with her assistant Elliot (Cooper Hoffman). Elliot's having the time of his life, but Erika is a lot, and soon his life starts to fall apart. I Want Your Sex is directed by Gregg Araki and the film doubles down on his brand of fun, in-your-face sexuality he's known for.If you want more great films about sex, check out:‘The Invite' is a marriage comedy with sex and heartIn ‘Pillion,' submission is the missionWhat makes a good sex scene?Connect with Pop Culture Happy Hour:Letterboxd / FacebookOur weekly newsletterSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

We already reviewed the big movie of the week, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," earlier this week. But other movies exist in the world, so you get Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday. Here's what we discussed on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: I WANT YOUR SEX. Between this and the Wham! in China documentary, it's an accidental George Michael theme week, but we're not complaining. Olivia Wilde stars as a caustic and quick-witted dom to Cooper Hoffman's eager and besotted sub. The latest from veteran queer filmmaker Gregg Araki takes place in the heightened world of LA's contemporary art scene. This movie is a hoot. In theaters. SHEEP IN THE BOX. A rare miss from Japanese writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda. His film explores some familiar themes about creating a family in unexpected ways, but does so in languid, superficial fashion. A couple in the near future brings a synthetic boy into their home to replace the 7-year-old son they lost. Sounds like a moving premise, but this never grabbed us. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Another extra-long segment because there was so much to discuss, including the huge Thursday box office for "Spider-Man," news out of Comic-Con, Disney canceling "Wonder Man," and the tragic death os Glen Hansard.

After a hiatus of over a decade, legendary indie filmmaker Gregg Araki is back in movie theaters with his latest piece of visual provocation, “I Want Your Sex.” The film made a splash at this year's Sundance Film Festival, thanks to Araki's trademark eye-tickling visuals and equally trademark envelope-pushing substance. Here, Gen Z is the target of Araki's aim, with his film (and specifically Olivia Wilde's sensational character, the avant-garde sex-obsessed artist Erika Tracy) skewering the prudishness of the latest batch of young adults. But as always with Araki, answers don't come easy and messages aren't neat and tidy. One of the masters of queer indie filmmaking, Araki was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his latest film, which you can listen to below. In our conversation, he touched on what he thinks of Gen Z's tendency toward sex negativity, how a film centering around a male-female pairing can still touch on queer themes, and what it was like to debut his film at the final Sundance Film Festival hosted in Park City, Utah.

It's Sean's (observed) birthday, and what better way to celebrate than by reacting to the news that Ryan Gosling will star as Ghost Rider in a Shawn Levy–directed MCU film? Then, they cover some additional movie news before giving a brief update on their Summer Movie Preview game. Next, they cover a handful of recent releases they haven't discussed on the show yet, ranging anywhere from interesting to awful. Finally, Sean is joined by Gregg Araki to discuss his new film, ‘I Want Your Sex,' starring Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman. He breaks down what he learned over the last decade making television, discusses why he put so much of his personal self into the main characters of this movie, and tells the story of how he cast Wilde and Hoffman in the lead parts.

The Cineskinny were delighted to be invited back again to Queer Cinema Sundays, the GFT's brilliant monthly film night bringing rarely-screened queer films back to the big screen. First time around, we screened Xavier Dolan's Matthias & Maxime. This time we plumbed for Gregg Araki's 1997 snapshot of disaffected youth, Nowhere.  Set over the course of one wild day, it follows a group of horny and sexually fluid Los Angeles teenagers as they navigate 24 hours of drugs, partying, heartbreak and possible alien abductions, and it was wonderful to see this candy-coloured blend of melodrama, expressionism, and teen nihilism on GFT's biggest screen.  After the screening, Peter, Anahit, Ellie and Jamie sat down to discuss the film, Gregg Araki's contribution to queer cinema and what we imagined some of Araki's characters might be doing now, 30 years later. Have a listen!

We are back in action for a talk discussing the iconic drug movie 'Smiley Face' by Gregg Araki. We also talk about other films and the future of this podcast!

Olivia Wilde's third film, The Invite, comes to theaters later this week and to mark the occasion, she joins Chloe in the studio. The movie, which is a remake of the Spanish film called The People Upstairs, tells the story of a couple who invite their neighbors over for dinner. Hijinks ensue! She and Chloe began by talking about the confluence of their children and their work. Wilde describes her children as being extremely influential and involved in her work. “They really feel like they have a strong handle on, like, the marketplace,” she laughed.They then dug into both her third directorial work as well as her upcoming role as an artist and dominatrix in Gregg Araki's I Want Your Sex. The elephant in the room of that topic was the May-December romance—she plays a woman who becomes involved sexually with a much younger man. When asked if she drew at all from personal experience in the role she explained: “I think that experiencing the double standards firsthand has been fascinating from an anthropological standpoint. And it is so much more egregious than I think I ever really thought. People have such a double standard about what we allow women to do in this world when it comes to romance.”Also on today's episode, Chloe and Chioma chat about Chioma's new newsletter Nnadi by Nature, the Coco Gauff Miu Miu x New Balance collaboration, and the launch of Vogue a la Mode at Morgenstern's ice cream shop in the Lower East Side. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Just a couple of episodes ago, we were praising Steven Spielberg as one of our greatest living filmmakers. Then we watched Disclosure Day, and might have to roll back some of those compliments.  We gush over Blue Heron, the extraordinary memory piece from Sophy Romvari. And inspired by Romvari's sophisticated approach to exploring her own childhood experiences – both real and imagined – through cinema, we discuss some other films that dig into the concept and aesthetics of memory in interesting ways.  And finally, we get excited about our upcoming screening of Gregg Araki's Nowhere on 28 June at GFT, which will be followed by an on-stage discussion.

For this Out Takes, we put the spotlight on three queer filmmakers whose films are featured in this year's Sydney Film Festival which is on now until June 14. First up, we spoke with Gregg Araki, the legendary gay filmmaker whose latest film ‘I Want Your Sex’ is a queer highlight in this year's Sydney Film Festival program. Noted for his involvement with the New Queer Cinema movement, his filmography includes the Teenage Apocalypse film trilogy from the 90’s and his 2010 film Kaboom was also the inaugural winner of the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival. His latest film stars Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman and Charli XCX in what has been described as an enjoyably outrageous, risqué sex-comedy, set in the Los Angeles contemporary art scene. We jumped at the chance to speak with him and in this interview, we discussed his motivation for telling this story, his influence on the lead characters and how he feels now about being labelled one of the pioneers of New Queer Cinema. Next up, we took a look at ‘Joy Boy: A Tribute To Julius Eastman’ which is described as a prismatic, polyphonic tribute by six artists to the prolific visionary queer African American composer and noted as one of the unsung pioneers of 20th century minimalism. Created by a collective of Belgian-Congolese artists, this spell-binding film channels the radical energy of Julius Eastman, a Black, gay iconoclast who challenged the conventions of minimalism, fusing avant-garde techniques with pop and free jazz in 1970s and ’80s New York. Structured in four chapters, the film honours Eastman’s key works through incredible visuals, archival recordings and exuberant choreography. Two of the people involved in the project are curator, researcher, and artist Mawena Yehouessi who positions herself as a “collisionist,” stating she explores the frictions and assemblages between disciplines, formats, and narratives; and composer, artist, and performer Fallon Manyanja who in her work mobilizes different relationships with our environment and social, inter-relational, and self-reflexive ideas. W caught up with the real-life couple online from their Paris apartment to discuss the project in the lead up to it screening at this year's Sydney Film Festival and we discussed how they first came to know about Julius Eastman and his work, their process in bringing these stories together to explore his prolific career and more. The post Sydney Film Festival 2026 with special guests Gregg Araki, Mawena Yehouessi and Fallon Manyanja appeared first on Out Takes.

For this week's episode, we have two guests: Andrew Klaus-Vineyard and Daniel Talbott are the directors of a new documentary short called Welcome to Tool Shed, which opens to the door to an iconic leather bar in Palm Springs. They're just back from showing the film at Cannes, and it'll be popping up at film festivals around the world in the coming months. Daniel and Andrew are longtime collaborators, first with daring theater projects, then with queer horror, and now with a documentary about how a generation that never expected to be senior citizens, and what they have to teach us about not just enduring difficult times, but thriving.

With his latest film ‘I Want Your Sex’ about to have its Australian Premiere at the Sydney Film Festival, we jumped at the opportunity to speak with Gregg Araki about the film, its incredible cast and more. Noted for his involvement with the New Queer Cinema movement, Gregg Araki’s filmography includes the Teenage Apocalypse film trilogy from the 90’s, consisting of Totally F***ed Up, The Doom Generation and Nowhere, all which have been heralded as cult classics. His 2010 film Kaboom was also the inaugural winner of the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival. His latest film stars Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman and Charli XCX in what has been described as an enjoyably outrageous, risqué sex-comedy, set in the Los Angeles contemporary art scene. For this Out Takes Extra, we discussed his motivation for telling this story, his influence on the lead characters and how he feels now about being labelled one of the pioneers of New Queer Cinema. As expected, he is full of great stories and insights, so we highly recommend you listen to this then book your tickets immediately for ‘I Want Your Sex’ at the Sydney Film Festival before they sell-out!

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE is available from Bridwell Press. James's ROMANTIC COMEDY is available from Four Way Books.  Notes:"The Crying Towel" was first published in The Massachusetts Review Volume 57, Issue 4Read a short essay  Kasischke wrote about the beginning of her poem "The First Resurrection" Uma Thurman starred in The Life Before Her Eyes (2007), adapted from Kasischke's novel of the same name. Evan Rachel Wood plays the younger version of the Uma Thurman character. Her other novels adapted for film include White Bird in a Blizzard (2014), directed by Gregg Araki and starring Shailene Woodley and Suspicious River (2000), directed by Lynne Stopkewich and starring Molly Parker. Kasischke also co-wrote the screenplay for this dark thriller.Laura Kasischke's novel The Lifeguard is available from Red Hen Press here, Read an interview about the novel here. Alberto Giacometti "Woman with Her Throat Cut (Femme égorgée)" serves as the ekphrastic inspiration for Kasischke's poem of the same name. View the artwork here. Giacometti completed the sculpture in 1932 and used bronze cast. Dimensions are 22.00 x 87.50 x 53.50 cm (or roughly 8.5 x 34.5 x 21 inches). Lucy Flint writes that the human figure is treated brutally in Giacometti's piece, and the woman appears in insectlike form. Woman with Her Throat Cut "is a particularly vicious image: the body is splayed open, disemboweled, arched in a paroxysm of sex and death. The psychological torment and the sadistic misogyny projected by this sculpture are in startling contrast to the serenity of other contemporaneous pieces by Giacometti, such as Woman Walking." (article on the Guggenheim site).Watch Kasischke give a reading here, here, and here.      

Hot off the news that he's just sold one million copies of his books, my wonderfully talented friend, KING OF ASHES and ALL THE SINNERS BLEED novelist S.A. Cosby returns to the pod this week for a delightful episode Gen Xers in particular will love. Listen in as we wax nostalgic, nerdy, & philosophical about the American independent film scene, video stores, actors with faces, Sundance, the New Queer Cinema movement, & iconoclastic filmmakers of the 1990s. We started with groundbreaking director Gregg Araki's TEEN APOCALYPSE TRILOGY, then went everywhere, & obviously, fittingly, NOWHERE. The three main films in the trilogy that we discuss are TOTALLY F***ED UP, THE DOOM GENERATION, and NOWHERE, but we bring in myriad other films, directors, and actors from this terrific era that valued original voices and stories that no one else could tell.Orginally Posted on Patreon (5/14/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/158267662Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPal Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

**Come see WTO/99 at The Balboa Theater SF on Sunday, April 26th 7:30pm, hosted by Hit Factory featuring a post-screening Q&A w/ director Ian Bell. Tickets are available here.**Prolific filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay joins us to discuss her newest feature The Serpent's Skin (expanding this week to Los Angeles and San Francisco) alongside the high-gloss, sugary sweet, and characteristically transgressive Gregg Araki film Splendor. Structured as a prototypical romantic comedy, the film subverts the classic love triangle dynamic to explore the unique dynamics and language of intimacy that develops between a romantically committed threesome. We begin with a discussion of Alice's latest film The Serpent's Path - a lush, bold trans lesbian fantasy that wears its debts to teen classics like The Craft and Buffy the Vampire Slayer proudly on its sleeve. Then, we dive into the 90s work of Gregg Araki, and how Splendor subverts the expectations laid by the director's previous films in the Teen Apocalypse trilogy while losing none of the director's antagonisms toward the stricutres of heteronormative American society. Finally, we interrogate the film's subtle complexities, how Araki navigates the shifting dynamics of the threesome within the language of the romcom, and how the film pushes past the trap of "selling out vs. buying in" customary to so many films of the decade.

It's late January, and the intrepid Film Comment crew is on the ground reporting from an extra special edition of the Sundance Film Festival—the last to take place on the snowy slopes of Park City, Utah, the festival's home since 1981, before moving to Boulder, Colorado in 2027. For the next week, we'll be gathering the best critics on the scene to talk about each day's premieres on the Podcast. For our third Podcast from the fest, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish invited critics and FC Podcast veterans Tim Grierson, Robert Daniels, and Monica Castillo to discuss some of this year's buzziest premieres to date, including Cathy Yan's art world–satire The Gallerist (3:00), Gregg Araki's erotic romp I Want Your Sex (20:15), and Olivia Wilde's couples' night dramedy The Invite (31:45, 42:40).
