Anne Carlisle - the star and co-writer of LIQUID SKY - joins me and James St. James for an in-depth exploration of this pioneering film. One of the first films to explicitly depict & discuss pansexuality, androgyny & gender fluidity in any substantial way - it also serves as an essay on toxic masculinity, ingrained homophobia and the ingrained misogyny of both overground & underground culture.  LIQUID SKY's hyper-stylized neon soaked aesthetic & aggressively bizarre, completely electronic score has continued to influence fashion, music and pop-culture in general since initial release in 1983. It's also a science fiction picture. AND the male and female leads are played by the same person. PLUS... this film features the second and final role for mysterious cult actress Paula Sheppard (ALICE, SWEET ALICE). We find out what Paula was like, where she likely went and how she feels about her acting career now.

In 1967 a 15 year old in a drug induced psychosis killed his whole family and was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He entered a mental hospital and was released in 1974 after being declared sane. And over 40 years later, he has been a psychology professor, beloved by all of students, even after his murderous past came to light. Do you believe in redemption? Tonight we discuss the interesting true crime case of Dr. James St James.   'Salem's Secret' by Peter Gundry   Merchandise: https://dfwtopodcast.creator-spring.com/   Sponsored by Betterhelp: Visit betterhelp.com/dfwto to get 10% off when you sign up for your first month.

TRANSCRIPT HERE WOW WELCOME TO EPISODE 50! So completely chuffed that we achieved this milestone! *FANFARE AND STREAMERS* The fabulously articulate (it's his job) Clinton McQueen joins us to unpack in great detail the legacy of Americas Next Top Model, specifically Cycle 11. We discuss how the series perpetuated beauty and body standards, and tackled issues of race, gender, sexuality, mental illness and disability. We also unpack how they portrayed the inclusion of first transgender model on the series (Isis King) and what it meant for the world. Because as you should know, trans women are women, and trans lives matter. To rewatch the ANTM season (if you so choose) click here!   Please note we recorded this episode before the abhorrent Anti-trans and Nazi attended March occurred in Melbourne and only make note of the anti-trans movements occurring overseas. I very much wish I didn't have to make this note.    CONTENT WARNING: body image and fat phobia, transphobia, homophobia, and sex work stigma, ableist language.

I first met James back in 2010 when I performed in Hollywood and he showed up with a damn camera crew to interview me for World Of Wonder (dream come true!) Then, he came to Vancouver for a special screening of Party Monster where we partied all night long. In this ep we reminisce, and talk about his amazing podcast Night Fever, fame obsession, and the future of creativity and art. Follow me: @peterbreezeSubscribe on SubstackThe Superficial Spirit is a podcast that explores how pop culture affects our spiritual experiences and seeks to uncover unconventional ways people experience the divine… Every episode explores a different area of spirituality including tarot, crystals, psychics, manifesting, plant medicine and modern new-age trends. In the podcast, we ask questions like is modern spirituality a cult? Is Ayahuasca really that profound? Are psychics and tarot even real? What about fame, money, sex and social media? How do they affect our spirituality? Can the superficial really be profound? Ultimately, we believe in one thing: spirituality is real but the tools we use to define it may not be magical at all.The Superficial Spirit is hosted by Peter Breeze, a former club kid and underground pop star who found success in queer clubs across Canada and America. He believes that his time as a fame-obsessed, hard-partying club-kid was a conduit for his spirituality and is passionate to connect with people who've also had unconventional or scandalous experiences exploring their own spirituality. Peter shamelessly explores the spiritual power of celebrities like Britney Spears, Courtney Love, Paris Hilton and The Real Housewives.Guests include RuPaul's Drag Race Superstars, Reality TV stars, Scientists, witches, psychics, tarot readers, naturopathic doctors and regular people who've been affected by modern Spirituality.Every episode includes a segment with @jessica.daily, Peter's Spiritual correspondent and a former reiki master and intuitive who's become passionate about sharing her own journey becoming disillusioned from the new age community. Jessica shares personal horror stories and hot takes about popular new age topics like tarot, psychics, mediums, ayahuasca retreats, crystals, ufo's and aliens. This is a public episode.

Hello from Iceland! Our very special guest this week is none other than celebutante-turned-celebrated author James St. James! He is bringing us real life behind-the-scenes story time about the New York Club Kids scene of the late 1980's-1990's. We find out all about the inspiration behind some of his fascinating looks including Leigh Bowery, Divine, John Sex, Diane Brill, John Waters, Billy Beyond, Sister Dimension, to name a few. As it turns out, James St. James is the originator of the indelible lunch box as an accessory….so thank you James. We ask him all about his book Disco Bloodbath, which became the movie Party Monster (2003) starring Macaulay Culkin as Club Kid King Michael Alig… and Seth Green portraying James St. James. The book and film are all about James' relationship with Michael, and the culmination of Michael's undoing resulting in the death of his roommate and drug supplier, Angel Melendez. Listen in to find out all about Culkin and Green's process in the making of Party Monster (2003) and get a master class from James St. James on authoring your own great works!

We're talking about the “fabulous but true tale of murder in clubland,” Disco Bloodbath. Later re-printed as Party Monster, this non-linear, Ketamine-infused true crime novel paints an abstract picture of the Club Kids and details the horrific murder of Andre “Angel” Melendez by scene leader, Michael Alig. This book has absolutely everything you could want from a queer text... and also some things you might not want want. We talk about how we as queer people can integrate the fabulousness with the grotesque and how we can maintain our bonds without the trauma. Also we talk about Ketamine.

Jarett Kobek published his first novel, I Hate the Internet, last year with a small indie publisher and it immediately took on cult status. Kobek received a rave review from Dwight Garner in The New York Times, who described the novel “as a glimpse at a lively mind at full boil.” Jonathan Lethem declared Kobek “as riotous as Houellebecq,” and Bret Easton Ellis was photographed reading it in bed. Viking is thrilled to be publishing Kobek’s brilliant and epic follow-up novel, The Future Won't Be Long, a provocative, ecstatic story of friendship, sex, art, and ambition in the twilight days of New York City’s East Village (1986-1996). The Future Won't Be Long centers on Adeline—featured years later in I Hate the Internet—a wealthy art student in New York City who chances upon a young man from the Midwest known only as Baby in a shady East Village squat. The two begin a fiery friendship which propels them through a decade of New York life punctuated by the deaths of Warhol, Basquiat, Wojnarowicz, by the Tompkins Square Park riots, and by the rise of club kid culture. Adeline is fiercely protective of Baby, but he soon takes over his own education. Once just a kid off the bus from Wisconsin, Baby soon finds himself at the center of the club kid social scene, cavorting with Michael Alig and James St. James at The Tunnel, Limelight, and Alig’s infamous “Outlaw Party” at a midtown McDonald’s. As Adeline and Baby both develop into the artists they never expected to become, Kobek pays tribute to the last gasps of the gritty, drug-fueled scene of the East Village as gentrifiers begin to trickle in. Kobek, himself a graduate of NYU, writes with a native’s sensitivity to New York, especially about those who come here with hope and those who come to escape their pasts. Riotously funny and wise, The Future Won't Be Long is a euphoric, propulsive novel coursing with a rare vitality, an elegy to New York and to the relationships that have the power to change—and save—our lives. Jarett Kobek is a Turkish American writer living in California. He is the author of the novel I Hate the Internet (2016) and the novella Atta (2011) James St. James who was once dubbed a "celebutante" by Newsweek magazine, now leads a quiet, sedate existence in Los Angeles, far from the madness that he writes about.  Event date:  Thursday, August 17, 2017 - 7:30pm

This week on the podcast we take on one of the most insane and ridiculous movies of all time, the 2011 Ross Patterson film Poolboy: Drowning Out The Fury. We previously covered Ross’s other movie, FDR: American Badass, early on in the history of the podcast. This movie within a movie within a movie is about the never before seen fictional film Poolboy 2: Drowning Out The Fury. We get the behind the scenes with director St. James St James, who directed it when he was only 10 years old, and most of the actual “movie” itself. It stars Kevin Sorbo as Jan Van Hammer as The Poolboy and is so mind blowingly funny you will lose your mind. This movie is intentionally bad and hits the nail on the head. Its the ultimate culmination of late 80s/early 90s action movies with the crazy behind the scenes antics of a movie deemed to racially insensitive for public viewing. We highly recommend you go on Netflix and watch this movie before listening, but maybe our discussion will inspire you to do so. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bmoviebreakdown/support
