In the twenty-sixth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Michael Willer and graphic designer Nell Bailey to discuss Stephan Elliott's vibrant and complex portrait of the gay, trans, and drag queen experience of Australia that pushed representation and tolerance forward with its reflections on male identity, performative truth, and healing bigotry with humanity in the road film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994).
A chance find at age 14 at Flinders Street Station led Tim Chappel to a life of silver lamé, sequins, girdles, and an Oscar. Costume designer, Tim Chappel can't remember all the places he lived, growing up on Army bases around the country, and overseas. His one constant interest was nature. He'd look for stick insects to pin into his collection and draw endless terrestrial orchids. Tim was ready to focus his life on botany.This all changed when he found a copy of French Vogue at Flinders Street Station in Melbourne.He was entranced by the glamour of the clothes he saw, and felt an instant connection to the tailoring.Tim was creating shorts for bartenders and costumes for drag queens at Sydney's Albury Hotel when he was asked if he would like to design the costumes for an Australian film called The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.This episode of Conversations touches on film-making, the Oscars, award season, LGBTQI+, queerness, Hollywood, Oprah, Tom Cruise, Los Angeles, Army Brat, military families, orchids, flowers, Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, Stephan Elliott, Terence Stamp.

Next, we cover Julie Cohen's captivating and heartbreaking documentary EVERY BODY (25:22), which chronicles the lives of three intersex individuals who overcame shame, secrecy, and unauthorized surgery to share their stories and advocate for other intersex people around the world.

Tune in as the show continues to celebrate Pride Month and cover queer media on this third episode of June! Ryan Kinney (Brother Ghoulish's Tomb) hops into the guest seat for a review and recap of the 1994 queer road trip comedy The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Talking points for this episode include what a theoretical series reboot of Priscilla could accomplish, wrestling with the surprisingly mean-spirited gags that are scattered throughout a generally heartwarming film, and the utterly flabbergasted moment that Ryan has when they realize a connection between this movie and Power Rangers. Directed by Stephan Elliott, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert stars Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp, Bill Hunter, Sarah Chadwick, June Marie Bennett, Alan Dargin, and Julia Cortez.

Con Massimiliano Bolcioni parliamo di un film uscito nel 1994 e diretto da Stephan Elliot. Un road movie colorato, divertente e dal grande spessore divenuto sin da subito un cult movie per tutta la comunità LGBTQ e non solo.
It's Pride Month and Legends Podcast is celebrating all colors of the cinematic rainbow with four films featuring LGBTQIA+ stories. This week, we're headed to the Land Down Under, where the wind does blow and men dress like sheilas in Stephan Elliott's 1994 jukebox musical-slash-road comedy film. Starring Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terrence Stamp, this movie was a box office hit, won the Oscar for Best Costume Design (werk!), and became an instant cult classic. It also served as the inspiration for a hit musical… and that musical was Mamma Mia. Just kidding, mates, it's The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert… crikey! I was just having a laugh. But almost three decades later, is Priscilla still the queen of the screen, or is actually it kind of a drag?

Daniel and David discuss Stephan Elliott's misunderstood masterpiece/misfire (depending on your point of view) Welcome to Woop Woop. Daniel questions whether George Lucas pays homage to this movie in the prequels. David earns his film cred by confusing Baz Luhrmann with Martin Scorsese. Please enjoy!
The early 1990's gave us two movies that quickly joined the queer cinema canon- "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" directed by Stephan Elliott (1994) and "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" directed by Beeban Kidron (1995). These two movies were perhaps unfairly compared to one another as they have surface-level plot similarities. Both involve three "drag queens" (term used loosely), both involve a cross-country road trip, and both focus on intergenerational queer relationships. In reality, the two productions had no impact on one another, and have managed to stick around in our collective gay consciousness for very different reasons. Why did To Wong Foo feel the need to educate us on the definition of a drag queen? Does every car that enters the Outback break down? What have got here, a couple of show girls? Jake and Kevin are PUMPed to talk about these two fabulous movies with you this week! Our second mini-series is also underway as we begin to slog through the hairless mire that is the Eating Out series! We kick things off with a dimly-lit bang with the first film in the series this week.

Der australische Regisseur Stephan Elliott besuchte das Filmmuseum Wien im Rahmen der Retrospektive Filmkontinent Australien am 17. Mai 2019 dem Internationalen Tag gegen Homophobie, Transphobie und Biphobie. Zu sehen ist dort sein Film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert aus dem Jahr 1994. Priscilla, zweifellos das melodramatischste, barockste und bunteste Roadmovie aller Zeiten, feierte seinen ersten fulminanten Erfolg auf dem Filmfestival von Cannes, um danach international zu einem Geheimtipp und Cross-Dressing-Kultklassiker zu werden. Andrea Habith traf Stephan Elliott zu einem kurzweiligen Interview.
Today I spoke with John Fisher, the Executive Director of Theatre Rhinoceros, the longest running queer theatre in the world. John directed the award-winning musical - Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. After last year's (2017) sold-out run, and the most successful show in the 40-year history of Theatre Rhinoceros is thrilled to be presenting - BY POPULAR DEMAND - an encore production for 2017/2018 Season of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - The Musical. Priscilla has a book by Australian film director/writer Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, using well-known pop songs as its score. Adapted from Elliott's 1994 Oscar-winning film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the musical is the heart-warming, uplifting adventure of three friends who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship and end up finding more than they could have ever dreamed of. With a dazzling array of over-the-top costumes, extraordinary headdresses, A FULL SIZE BUS - ON STAGE, and a hit parade of dance floor favorites, this wildly fresh and funny musical is a journey to the heart of FABULOUS. SYNOPSIS: The Musical follows two drag queens and a transsexual (Tick, Adam, and Bernadette), who buy a run-down old bus (they call Priscilla) and set out on a road trip across the Australian Outback when one of them, Tick, is invited by his ex-wife to perform his drag show at her faraway resort. However, Tick is hesitant to tell his friends, Bernadette (a former performing icon whose best days are behind her) and Adam (a rambunctious young troublemaker), his own personal reasons for taking the trip. During their journey, the trio encounters an array of Australian citizens, some of who aren't receptive to their lifestyle, including incidents of homo and transphobia, while widening comfort zones, finding new horizons, and strengthening their own friendship. Performances: Extended run to July 7, 2018 Location: Gateway Theatre - 215 Jackson St., (at Battery St.) SF, CA 94111 Tickets: Available online from Brown Paper Tickets (http://bit.ly/priscilla_tix)or call the box office at 1-800-838-3006. _______________________________________________________________________________ Pride San Francisco - Parade and Celebration - June 23-24 2018. http://www.sfpride.org/ Opening Music by Carly Ozard - carlyozard.com Ray's Web Site: rayrenati.com Green Room Radio Web Site: raysgreenroom.com

"I can spot the fluttering of a beaded lash from three hundred paces." Terence Stamp had played some pretty tough characters in his career – Billy Budd, General Zod – so it was a big surprise to many to see him play a transgender character in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Stamp had his own misgivings about playing the role as it was so different from anything he'd done before. Luckily, he signed on to take it anyway and the result is a beautifully portrayed character. And that's not even mentioning Hugo Weaving or Guy Pearce. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our Transgender series with Stephan Elliott's 1994 cult comedy classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. We talk about how well the film holds up and why – strong script, strong characters, lots of laughs. We look at what Stamp, Weaving and Pearce all bring to their roles and why they all work so well in the parts. We chat about Elliott and what he brings to the table as the writer and director of the film. We look at one element of the script – Bob's Filipino wife – any why this is the most contentious element of the film. We discuss the music and how well it all works, regardless of whether you're planning on pulling the CD out later to listen in. And we chat about the nature of Stamp as a transgender character and how that pairs with the gay drag queens. It's a fun film to watch and is very easy to enjoy. That being said, it also has some pretty big messages that it handles quite well. We have a great time talking about it on this week's show so check it out then tune in! Thanks!

It sounds crazy but in all the right (and horrifying) ways. It's rated R for ‘aberrant behavior, bloody and grisly images, strong sexuality, nudity, language and drug use/partying' so it seems to be ticking off most of the things that every good cannibalism horror needs. I can't wait." Pete's Trailer: The Lure — "So, this Polish mermaid horror musical comedy film certainly tops the list of crazy things I've seen today. It's been floating around (heh) since it's Warsaw release in 2015, but we get to see what happens when two stripper mermaids begin to devour their patrons (finally, natch) this very February."

Cette semaine, par manque de grosse actu ciné, nous avons pioché, dans le Choixpeau Magique des dossiers de podcast, un dossier de podcast! On nous reproche d'être souvent négatif et quand je dis nous, je veux dire Bruno car on sait tous qu'il est le plus négatif de nous deux (drama!), du coup, dans ce sixième numéro d'Éteindez la Lumière (Commencez le Cinéma!), on va essayer d'apporter de la positive attitude (comme dirait Raffarin) en vous présentant des films que l'on pense sous-estimés.

Amongst the pitter-patter of puppy paws, Stephan Elliott takes the time to reminiscence about Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and tells some truths about the current state of the industry. There are no stock answers here. Stephan shares stories of sharing the spoils with Muriel, being on the festival circuit with Tarantino and confronting Grace Jones. Twenty years later, Priscilla - or as he calls it, 'The Old Bus and Chain' - while firmly cemented in Australian cultural landscape is still finding an audience. Stephan is fairly certain this will be the last hurrah for her... I'm not so sure. There seems to some life in the old girl yet!
