She explains her recent work on "surveillance" in the works of Poe, Harriet Jacobs, and Charles Ball who are rarely studied together, and how they invert power dynamics.Kelly talks about how important it is to move beyond venerating traditional canonical (mostly white and male) authors and the importance of including more diverse voices and perspectives. Then, we talk about why current popular culture is interested in themes of "racial surveillance and anxiety," think Hulu's The Other Black Girl or HBO's The Gilded Age!Of particular interest to Kelly's studies is how The Other Black Girl critiques how publishing prioritizes profits over diversity and sensitivity. Kelly explains that the issues in the publishing industry that the TV show explores, is really similar to academia.You can find out more about Kelly's research and writing, including her book Slavery, Surveillance and Genre in Antebellum United States Literature. https://www.rider.edu/about/faculty-staff-directory/kelly-rossFollow ITBR on IG,@ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok,@ivorytowerboilerroomOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Watch this episode ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom (Originally Aired on November 1, 2023) Christian and Andrew discuss the similarities between the drama that both Karen and Ivy face in the show as compared to Marilyn Monroe's real-life drama like the sacrifices she made for her work and battling off sexual advances from men in the Hollywood industry. Andrew also reads from Marilyn Monroe's posthumous autobiography, “My Story” and reads: “One day a grand piano arrived at my home, it was out of condition, my mother had bought it second hand, it was for me… years later when I was beginning to earn some money from modeling I started looking for the Frederic March piano, after about a year I found it at an old auction room and bought it” depicting Marilyn's attachment to gifts from her mother and in spite of reaching various forms of fame and success she could not forget the time she spent with her mother.Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "The Callback” episode:As Ivy and Karen both attempt to please Derek in order to win the role of Marilyn, Julia and her husband Frank become frustrated by the process of their international adoption and Eileen's acrimonious divorce complicates her attempt to finance the musical.Follow ITBR on IG,@ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok,@ivorytowerboilerroomOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Both Christian and Andrew agree that not many podcasts have covered the hit show Smash and there are even less TV show or movie adaptations that focus on the behind-the-scenes productions of Broadway and how it pushed the envelope in terms of storytelling and controversial topics.Christian and Andrew discuss the risky decisions made by the producers to display difficult director/actor relations as well as the difficulty in displaying a battle between two actors fighting for the leading role of Marilyn Monroe who herself was such a complex nuanced person to portray on a Broadway stage.Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Pilot” episode:World-renowned songwriting duo Julia Houston and Tom Levitt are inspired to create a new Broadway musical on the life of cultural icon Marilyn Monroe—instantly attracting the attention of tenacious producer Eileen Rand and brilliant yet temperamental director Derek Wills. As the four search for their leading lady, veteran actress Ivy Lynn becomes obsessed with winning the part and native Iowan waitress Karen Cartwright becomes desperate to make her theatrical dreams a reality.Follow ITBR on IG,@ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok,@ivorytowerboilerroomOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Jonathan Yaskoff is a talented film director, producer, and actor who recently starred in the film Bear Week Diaries (all about the iconic Provincetown Bear Week)! He was recently in the film Smothered By Mothers which stars actress Heather Matarazzo. And if you're a Real Housewives of Miami fan, you may remember him as the producer of Adriana De Moura's music video Fyah (when the women were all having a meltdown haha). We discuss some of the key storylines in Queer as Folk, like sleeping with your boss (definitely a no no), conversion therapy, and the wild parties at Babylon. Then, Jonathan reveals the behind the scenes of filming Reality TV and what it's like being on the Real Housewives. And, because Jonathan has been both behind and on the camera, he discusses his thoughts on sex scenes, nudity, and consent culture. Get ready for quite a dynamic conversation!

He shares how the restaurant and his family's history in Michigan since the 1800s inspired him to write the memoir to pass on this story to the next generation. He then touches on the challenges Chinese immigrants faced during that time period, including anti-Asian violence and the Chinese Exclusion Act.Then, Curtis reflects on how his intersectional identity as an Asian American, working-class person, and closeted gay youth collided in formative experiences, such as an incident at the restaurant involving a drag queen customer. He shares how the writing process allowed him to revisit and process these complex identity issues.You can get your hands on Curtis' book and learn more about his writing here:www.curtisfromdetroit.comFollow Curtis on IG,@curtischin8Follow ITBR on IG,@ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok,@ivorytowerboilerroomOur Sponsors:To subscribe to The Gay and Lesbian Review visit glreview.org.

Frank discusses his long career as a theater critic, starting in smaller newspapers and working his way up to larger publications like the Hartford Courant. He talks about the different roles he played as a journalist - feature writing, reviewing shows, and reporting on serious arts issues. We discuss how the landscape of celebrity interviews has shifted, with the rise of social media and "influencers" making it harder for traditional journalists to get in-depth, personal interviews. Frank reflects on the importance of building relationships with subjects and the craft of writing compelling profiles. Then, I ask Frank what he thinks of LGBTQ representation in theater and film, and he has so much to say! He discusses how the AIDS crisis impacted the arts and the importance of preserving LGBTQ history and mentoring younger generations. Frank then shares some of the projects he is excited to work on, including articles about the magazine After Dark and the writer Patrick Dennis. He also recommends several recent theater productions he has enjoyed, noting the enthusiastic younger audiences they are attracting.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom Presenting a really special holiday Broadway episode with Chad Beguelin who recently wrote his first novel called Showmance! Showmance is about a down-on-his-luck Broadway playwright who is marooned in rural Illinois in this sharply funny queer rom-com. Chad knows a lot about the Broadway industry since he is a six-time Tony Award nominee, and his Broadway works include The Prom, Disney's Aladdin, Elf and The Wedding Singer. He also co-wrote the screenplay for The Prom, currently available on Netflix. Because I can't help myself, I asked Chad about his relationship to Wicked, and he reveals how Stephen Schwartz, the composer, has been such a wonderful mentor to him. He shares how Schwartz provided valuable feedback and guidance during the development of The Wedding Singer and expresses admiration for Wicked's important messages about acceptance. I ask Chad what he thinks about The Wedding Singer's recent resurgence in popularity with younger audiences and ask him what he thinks about it being revived? And because Laura Benanti's recent interview on That's a Gay Ass Podcast has made headlines (mostly because of her critique of Zachary Levi), I ask Chad what he thinks about Laura apologizing to him and Matthew Sklar (his writing partner) about negative comments she's made about her experience in the musical? Then, Chad discusses the process of writing his first novel, Showmance, and the differences between the structured, collaborative nature of musical theater and the more solitary, open-ended approach of novel writing. And finally, Chad shares details about his upcoming musical projects, including a new farce called Horrible People and an adaptation of the novel Something Fabulous, which he describes as a "gay Bridgerton." Throughout the interview, Chad's creative commitment to creating more queer-centric stories and characters shines through! You can find more information about Chad's work and his new novel Showmance here: https://www.chadbeguelin.com/ Follow him on Instagram, @chadbeg.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom As a special holiday season episode, here's our book club discussion about Gregory Maguire's novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." Many of us in the book club had just seen the Broadway musical so discussed the differences between the musical and the novel. What specific plot points from the novel are missing in the Broadway musical and why? We also discuss why the novel is NSFW and definitely not appropriate for young children, even though some of us read it in middle school. We discuss the political themes in the novel, including the oppression of magic users and the animals.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom Dr. Andrea Sullivan-Clarke, a Native American philosopher from the Wind Clan of Muscogee Nation of Oklahoma, and an Associate Professor at Indiana University Bloomington, comes on the podcast to confront America's vexed history with teaching and learning about Native American and Indigenous culture. Andrea first explains the importance of listening to how Indigenous communities identify themselves. For a long time, Andrea explains that America ignored the importance of indigenous philosophies, specifically the art of storytelling, and how storytelling conveys not just lessons but freedom in interpretation. As Andrea says "Oral traditions face losses from colonization, so recovery and sharing remain important" in order to learn the factual history about their communities. Similarly, Andrea stresses the responsibilities for institutions and scholars to engage in respectful, reciprocal relationships with indigenous communities. To learn more about Andrea's scholarship and writing, please head to her website: Andrea Sullivan-Clarke – Indiana University Bloomington You can find her book "Ways of Being in the World: An Introduction to Indigenous Philosophies of Turtle Island" here: Ways of Being in the World - Broadview Press Check out this supplemental website that accompanies Andrea's book: WAYS OF BEING IN THE WORLD – An Introduction to Indigenous Philosophies of Turtle Island Remember to use the promo code ivorytower for 20% off your Broadview Press order!

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom We're back with our Queer as Folk rewatch show with guest co-host Dr. Neil J. Young who recently published "Coming Out Republican: A History of the Gay Right." Episode 12 of QAF, "Move It Or Lose It" explores Michael and David's moving dilemmas, the harmful effects of conversion therapy, and gay politics! Neil is a historian who specializes in LGBTQ politics, specifically the history of gay men and the republican party. Neil cannot believe that Michael and David think it's a good idea to move in together when it seems like they don't even know each other's interests and lifestyle. When it comes to Emmett's conversion therapy storyline, Neil has so many thoughts about how unrealistic and poorly done these scenes are. When it comes to politics in this show, Andrew remarks that rarely do any of the characters speak openly about political parties or current political issues of the time. While the characters don't talk extensively about politics, most seem to hold similar liberal views. But, Neil explains that while a majority of the LGBTQ community are liberal, there has always been a segment of gay republicans.

It's a big week. We love you and hope you're taking care of yourself, whatever that may look like. Kris gives an update on her visit to P-Town for Women's Week and her plans for Friendsgiving. Tara talks ice queens and participating in The Lesbian Review's event. As always, we have a bunch of recommendations. We hope they give the distraction you need from the world outside. Official Recommendations From Kris: Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) This week, Kris caves to peer pressure in the best possible way to watch the film Portrait of a Lady on Fire. It's the story of a young painter who masquerades as a walking companion to capture a reluctant subject in her last days of freedom before marriage. The ending isn't happy, but it is, according to Kris, "satisfying," because this movie has a different take on love. From Tara: Most Wonderful by Georgia Clark This week, Tara recommends the holiday romance, Most Wonderful by Georgia Clark. It follows a trio of siblings as they find love (and themselves) when they head home for the holidays. One is a showrunner who has fallen for their star. Another is a complete disaster trying to… not disaster. And the third has recently discovered their lifelong friend is super hot. Tara loved it. Great vibes all around. Works/People Discussed The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (AMC) The Great British Baking Show (BBC) Love is Blind, season 7 (Netflix) Heartstopper, season 3 (Netflix) RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars (Paramount+) RuPaul's Drag Race UK, season 6 (WOW Presents Plus) Culinary Class Wars (Netflix) Synchronicity by J.J.

Such an iconic line from one of my favorite horror movies, but it's not every day that you can ask this question to an award-winning horror writer! I first ask Paul about his 2018 novel The Cabin at the End of the World which was adapted by M. Night Shyamalan into Knock at the Cabin (featuring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Rupert Grint). He answers all of my adaptation questions including what he thought of M. Night Shyamalan changing some of his major plot points. He explains why it was so important for him to explore queer trauma in this novel and why he's always preferred psychological horror over slasher films. I then ask Paul all about his new novel Horror Movie which is a chilling twist on the "cursed film genre." Paul explains the inspiration for his book including the multiple meanings of cursed films! He explains how he lets his subconscious guide his stories and why he loves to write about his obsessions. Then, he provides really helpful advice for aspiring writers and why the horror community is such a welcoming and supportive space for creative people! Then, Paul plays a horror movie game with me and reveals his favorite horror films from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. And Paul gives a hint regarding whether Horror Movie will be adapted into a film!

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom Just in time for Halloween, I am joined with author Kevin Winkler who has all of the Bette Midler insight, including her filming of "Hocus Pocus." Kevin provides the origin story for his Bette enthusiasm and how he came to write "On Bette Midler: An Opinionated Guide" (published this year). At a young age, he connected with Bette's unconventional persona and how it resonated with him as a shy, young gay man. Kevin describes how Bette built a following performing in underground venues like the Continental Baths before breaking through to mainstream success on TV, in film, and as a concert performer. He discusses how she was able to maintain her authentic persona and appeal to broader audiences. Kevin highlights Bette's philanthropic work, including founding the New York Restoration Project to revitalize green spaces in the city. He also notes her willingness to be politically outspoken and use her platform for social causes. Kevin and I discuss trends in Broadway, including the continued appeal of star-driven vehicles and the challenge for more ensemble-focused shows to gain traction. They also reflect on the legacies of choreographers like Bob Fosse in shaping the Broadway landscape. In closing, Kevin shares how writing the book on Bette has inspired him to emulate her fearlessness, activism, and commitment to taking initiative, rather than waiting for others to act.

Jeremy discusses his nonfiction book Gay Bar and analyzes the ins and outs of gay bars and why we go to them. So many of Gay Bar's book reviews emphasize the reviewer's own personal experience in a gay bar so we hope you all are reflecting on your own gay bar experiences (or why you should go to one). For Andrew, he will always remember his first time at Woody's gay bar in Philly (thanks to his high school friends for taking him there)! And a moment that warms Andrew's heart is when Jeremey digs into why he includes a homoerotic Whitman quote for his epigraph.

Irons! B.J. just wrote a new novel called "Up Your HOA Hole" which draws creative inspiration from both "Desperate Housewives" and the iconic Real Housewives shows. They discuss what it was like rewatching the pilot episode of "Desperate Housewives" 20 years later and how iconic this female friendship group is. What is it about Susan, Lynette, Bree, and Gabrielle that kept us glued to our TV screens? Andrew and B.J. share not only a love for "Desperate Housewives" but also Bravo's Real Housewives series. They explore why these shows have such an enduring appeal, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community. They highlight the shows' campiness, drama, and ability to satirize suburban life. B.J. shares that one of the biggest challenges in writing "Up Your HOA Hole" was striking the right balance between social commentary and satire, without being overly preachy or biased.

Join Mary McMyne, author of "The Book of Gothel" (a retelling of Rapunzel from the witch's point of view), and Andrew as they discuss why fairy tales often fail to give voice to outsiders like witches. Mary's fascination with retelling stories from marginalized perspectives led her down a creative and scholarly path to discover the origin story of Rapunzel's mother, or as the Brothers Grimm tale calls her the "witch." Mary delves into her creative inspiration and how she was able to hear and write down the voice of her protagonist, Haelewise. For Mary, the magical tower of Gothel and its powerful female community is not a space of entrapment, like so many believe it is, but rather a space of empowerment. Mary reveals why she portrayed the tower as a refuge for outsiders which subverts its original symbolism in the Brothers Grimm "Rapunzel." After discussing "The Book of Gothel," Mary previews her new novel "A Rose By Any Other Name" which centers on Shakespeare's Dark Lady and aims to challenge the misogyny present in these sonnets by giving her a voice.

As the author of "The Paradox of P*rn: Notes on Gay Male S*xual Culture" and most recently "Daddy Lover God: A Sacred Intimate Journey," Don is an expert on gay male culture and psycho-s*xual-spiritual journeys. While he was a fan of the British version of QAF, Don offers a critical perspective of the American version. He explains that in his opinion, it promotes harmful stereotypes and lacks authenticity in its depiction of gay life. With Andrew, Don explores the show's treatment of aging and intergenerational relationships within the gay community. As an expert on pleasure, adult s*x education, and spiritual practice, Don provides a refreshing perspective on QAF's treatment of relationships, intimacy, and communication.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom Dr. Jacob Bloomfield, a historian of gender and sexuality, enters the ITBR to discuss the origin story of his interest in the history of drag performance, specifically male drag performance in Britain during the 1800s. Jacob explains his view that drag is not inherently a queer art form, despite its strong historical connections to LGBTQ+ communities. He argues that drag has had many different meanings and associations over time, and that it should be seen as an art form like any other, rather than being essentialized as solely a queer or progressive expression. Jacob discusses how drag has adapted and maintained mainstream popularity throughout history and argues that RuPaul's Drag Race should be seen as part of this ongoing tradition of drag's mainstream appeal, rather than as a new phenomenon. Jacob discusses the present-day backlash against drag, particularly from social conservatives, and how this echoes historical debates and critiques of drag as immoral or unsuitable for children.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom On Feb. 27, 2023, The New Yorker published an article ominously titled "The End of the English Major." This article caused quite a conversation across higher education, and there are many question marks concerning how to study not only English but all Humanities subjects in a moment where liberal arts funding is facing massive cuts, departments are being consolidated, and technology is rapidly changing. One of the major questions concerns a technological specter looming ever larger, Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Sid Dobrin, an expert on Digital Humanities from the University of Florida, is here to ease our anxieties and tensions regarding the fear of AI taking over the Humanities classroom. Instead of fearing ChatGPT, Sid explores new questions we should be asking that incorporates this technology, rather than trying to get rid of it. He explains that AI, Virtual Reality, and digital media can all be used as tools for thinking about the Humanities. As he reminds us at the beginning of this episode, English departments study what and how people read/write and that means responding to newly emerging technology like AI. You can find Sid's book "AI and Writing" (published by Broadview Press) here: https://broadviewpress.com/product/ai-and-writing/#tab-description Learn more about Sid and his work here: https://english.ufl.edu/sid-dobrin/ Follow ITBR on IG, @ivorytowerboilerroom, TikTok, @ivorytowerboilerroom, and X, @IvoryBoilerRoom!

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom After a brief intermission, we're back with all new episodes of SMASH and so much has been happening in the SMASH universe. Recently, @smashbway has shared clips teasing the Broadway musical and we have thoughts! Before jumping back into today's SMASH episode, Andrew and Christian look into why so many new Broadway musicals have closed and how Broadway can provide more affordable ways for people who feel priced out. Episode six provides so much food for thought. First, why does Karen always seem so green and unprepared? It's almost as if she forgets that she's rehearsing for a Broadway musical. Then, Ivy reveals her own bombshell when she tells the entire cast and creative team that she's been sleeping with Derek. And yes, Derek's misogyny escalates as he continues to psychologically manipulate both Ivy and Karen. Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Chemistry" episode: Ivy starts to have problems with her voice; Julia cannot seem to avoid Michael (Will Chase); Eileen and her new pal Ellis hang out at a downtown dive bar; Karen books a side job at a bar mitzvah.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom Allen Ellenzweig, a longtime contributor to The Gay and Lesbian Review magazine and cultural critic, joins Andrew to give his honest review of the "Fellow Travelers" TV series compared to Thomas Mallon's 2007 novel. Mallon's novel, and the TV series it's based off of, focus on depictions of queer life in 1950s Washington D.C. under political pressures, including the Lavender Scare and McCarthyism. Before the two reveal whether they are more of a Jonathan Bailey or a Matt Bomer fan, Allen explains how he became interested in writing about queer photography which led to his 2012 book "The Homoerotic Photograph." Does "Fellow Travelers" realistically portray the social and political climate queer men faced during the Lavender Scare, especially if these men worked for the government? This is one of many questions that Allen and Andrew get into as well as exploring which other queer texts focused on being gay in Washington D.C.? They discuss divides between attitudes around privacy versus visibility, with Allen providing the perspective of older generations who found comfort in the closet versus demands to come out. And in preparation for an upcoming "Queer as Folk" episode with author Neil J. Young, who just wrote "Coming Out Republican," they explore how gay Republicanism functions in "Fellow Travelers" (think Roy Cohn). You can find Allen's books here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=allen+ellenzweig&i=stripbooks&crid=2QVUFKNU5PWWM&sprefix=allen+ellenzweig%2Cstripbooks%2C106&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 And, you can find his Gay and Lesbian Review articles here: https://glreview.org/author/lykeallen/ Follow ITBR on IG, @ivorytowerboilerroom, TikTok, @ivorytowerboilerroom, and X, @IvoryBoilerRoom!

As a former AP Mexico bureau chief, her new book "In the Mouth of the Wolf" investigates the m*rder of Regina Martínez, a legendary woman journalist who exposed government corruption in Mexico. With her acclaimed investigative journalist voice, Katherine looks into why so many journalists were m*rdered in Mexico...why would the Mexican government want to censor and silence these journalists? Katherine emphasizes that when she started her journalism career freedom of the press was a given, but times have changed since the media and journalists are now considered suspect by both politicians and the American public. She explains that it's important to analyze what media you're consuming and whether or not it has a bias. Then, she distinguishes between pundits and journalists, there is a major difference. This conversation about the future of the free press is a breath of fresh air since Katherine answers all of Andrew's questions. A few questions include how corporate interests have influenced the journalism field, are the American people really that divided, and what the future of the free press looks like both in America and abroad?

That's the question that I dissect with today's guest, William Ferraro. Will is not only a good friend of mine but has a background in public policy, was a New York State senate and assembly analyst, and in 2019 ran for Brookhaven Town Supervisor (Suffolk County, New York). He is definitely not afraid to air his political beliefs, and it's extremely refreshing to have such a spirited and unfiltered conversation about how we can try to find political common ground in such a divisive time for American politics.
