FAN LETTER, 15min., Belgium Directed by Zeb Daemen Set in the glamorous 1950s, Fan Letter follows Ricky, a renowned singer at the height of his fame. One evening, before another sold-out show, Ricky receives a letter from someone he thought was lost to time—his first love, whom he hasn't heard from in years. Attached to the letter is a phone number. Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? The idea for Fan Letter started when I came across old images of Elvis reading fan mail. There was something captivating about those moments. This massive star, adored by millions, yet sitting alone with handwritten letters, connecting with fans in such a personal yet distant way. That led me down a rabbit hole, researching actual fan letters from the time, and what struck me was how deeply emotional and devoted they were. These young women poured their hearts into these letters, idolizing someone they'd never truly know. At the same time, I've always been fascinated by the 1950s. The music, the culture, and especially how it was marketed almost exclusively to a young female audience. But beneath that glossy, dreamy surface, there was a much harsher reality, especially for artists. Around this time, I also watched the documentary on Tab Hunter, and his story really stuck with me, the pressures of fame, the sacrifices, and the hidden truths behind these carefully curated public images. Once this idea took hold, it became my passion project. I kept thinking about what it would be like for an artist to look back at a life built on a bargain they couldn't fully understand at the time, what they gained, but more importantly, what they lost. Ricky's story grew from that, and I knew I had to tell it. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Really sweet! Nice to hear that people have a good reaction to the film. Also a little strange.

This week we're joined by Chicago's Joan Waters, local drag queen and John Waters super fan, and we're taking a look at Polyester, John Waters' first studio film. With his biggest budget to date, Waters paid tribute to William Castle, and Douglas Sirk, two of his favorite filmmakers. Sirk directed the Rock Hudson classic All That Heaven Allows, a clear influence on queer filmmakers like Todd Haynes and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. So we paired it with Polyester as we take a look at the similarities, differences, and Sirk's continued influence in queer cinema. Say Hi!

Tab Hunter, Linda Blair, Donna Wilkes and a dozen teeth gnashing punks star in this highly strange slasher-cum-WFT? Buckle in! Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!

En este episodio de Grandes Maricas de la Historia, exploramos la fascinante y compleja vida de Anthony Perkins, el actor que inmortalizó a Norman Bates en Psicosis (1960). Más allá del papel que definió su carrera, Perkins fue un hombre atrapado entre la presión de las normas sociales de Hollywood y su lucha interna por aceptar su identidad sexual. Desde su infancia marcada por la pérdida temprana de su padre y una relación complicada con su madre, hasta sus primeros pasos en el cine, desvelamos cómo estos eventos formaron a un hombre vulnerable y reservado. Perkins encontró en la actuación un refugio, alcanzando la fama con películas como Friendly Persuasion y Fear Strikes Out. Sin embargo, fue Psicosis la que lo catapultó a la inmortalidad cinematográfica, aunque también lo encasilló en papeles oscuros y perturbadores. El episodio aborda sus relaciones personales, desde romances secretos con figuras como Tab Hunter, Rudolf Nureyev y Grover Dale, hasta su matrimonio con Berry Berenson, una unión que, aunque auténtica, estuvo marcada por las presiones sociales y los demonios internos de Perkins.

Send us a textUsing old acting-school chops to conquer the dance-away instincts ingrained by her family, Wanda phones at last for the directions to St. Jude's. But the flickering world at Sunset and Vine floods her with ancestral memory--from golden visits to the Hollywood Ranch Market, to the high-rise vistas behind casting couches where she'd fought her way free, to The Brown Derby, The Smoke House, the warm safety of Coffee Dan's. And is that Tab Hunter as Jesus in the revolving glass? Catherine Hein's former life took her from 20 years in the entertainment industry to two years in a homeless women's shelter. That's where Wanda, the reigning spirit of this epic two-volume novel of early ‘60s Hollywood, was born.Host Alan Rifkin's novels, essays and short stories of Los Angeles have been published widely.

Alonso Duralde joins me to talk about his new book, 'Hollywood Pride: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Representation and Perseverance in Film'. Published in May 2024, 'Hollywood Pride' presents a history of film from the dawn of cinema to the "pansy craze" of the 1930s and the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s, all the way up to today. Illustrated with more than 175 colour and black-and-white images, 'Hollywood Pride' points to the bright future of LGBTQ+ representation in cinema, by revealing the story of the community's inclusion and erasure, its visibility and invisibility, and its triumphs and tragedies. ................ Time stamps: 4:00 I ask Alonso about the formative media that inspired his career in journalism 8:42 "Tell me about how your career has developed..." 9:00 Alonso has worked as a film festival programmer 11:00 Alonso tells me about his other books, including books on Christmas movies 11:19 I ask Alonso about his work with Turner Classic Movies (TCM) 14:52 Queer representation in film, especially in the 1990s (as in 'Mrs. Doubtfire'; 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', etc.) 17:41 "What's valuable about a book like this is that it's a reminder that [inclusion] didn't all just happen... they could take it all away real quick..." 18:47 Rock Hudson, Anthony Perkins and Tab Hunter's happy ending 20:38 Alonso on closeted famous Hollywood stars 21:27 Claudette Colbert and Marlene Dietrich ride an amusement park slide at a birthday party for Carole Lombard, as you do 22:00 The end of Pre-Code American cinema 24:08 Home media as a "Godsend" for access to LBGTQ+ films 27:14 'Brokeback Mountain' and the mid-2000s 32:42 Same-sex marriage in the US and Canada 37:00 Metrosexual culture in the 2000s: "guyliner", guys kissing, etc. 39:20 Reality TV and LGBTQ+ representation 41:06 Alonso tells me about interviewing Heath Ledger for The Advocate on a junket at the Toronto International Film Festival 45:14 "'Brokeback Mountain' is hardly Jane Austen, but it is [about] people living in a society that's being rather proscriptive about who you are allowed to love and not allowed..." 46:30 I put Alonso on the spot and ask him about his favourite film in 'Hollywood Pride' 48:50 "What advice would you give your teenage self today?" ................

Javi and Paul descend into the labyrinth of the Dada-ist haiku that is GREASE 2 and ponder the imponderable. Is Rydell High actually haunted by ghosts as Javi theorizes, and is this somehow also a stealth remake of Richard Donner's Superman? Could anyone other than the transcendent Michelle Pfeiffer have possibly pulled off her scenes, and holy crap is that teenage Pamela Adlon? Will either of our co-hosts emerge with their sanity intact? Tune in to find out — if you dare! — in our most deliriously deranged episode yet.

WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? "MONTH" on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on lumbering along! For our excruciatingly-belated fourth and penultimate episode of What Would Walt Have Done? "Month," the randomizer goes all the way back to 1971 to cover a made-for-TV movie produced for NBC's weekly "Wonderful World of Disney" showcase, with a daring, I dare say even avant-garde premise: see, there's this horse who - get this - doesn't want to be ridden! Even though he's a horse! Crazy, right? I mean, if he didn't want to be ridden, why'd he become a horse in the first place? Why not instead become some other creature, like an alligator? Or Mitt Romney? No one's ever ridden Mitt Romney! Silly horse thinks he's Mitt Romney. I'm laughing already and it's not even remotely interesting. Join Tony Goldmark, Kyle A.

It's time for Fridays once again and this time, we've got William in tow! To get the full scope of this one, we needed two separate versions of the episode but it's all worth it just to see that magical moment when Rich Hall bombs harder than anyone has ever bombed in sketch comedy history. Elsewhere, we really run the gamut with this one: some classics and some outright duds (some possibly never seen since they originally aired). It's Fridays and we wouldn't have it any other way. 

My guest this week is historian Eric Gonzaba, whose fascinating work includes the Wearing Gay History archive — a collection of vintage queer t-shirts — and Mapping the Gay Guides, an accounting of queer travel guides from the 60s and 70s. Eric's interest in history was piqued at an early age, when he developed an obsession for the Kennedy Center Honors, which pay annual tribute to lifetime innovators in the cultural fields. And it's through his field of study that he continues to explore our sometimes-murky queer past, and inspire others to do the same.We'll have that conversation in a minute.First, a couple quick reminders, starting with a heads-up that my new video about the rise and fall and rise again of 50s heartthrob Tab Hunter is now up on YouTube!

Our 5 month hiatus is over and we are talking about the 1988 home invasion/slasher/monster movie/revenge film GROTESQUE starring Linda Blair, Donna Wilkes, and Tab Hunter. This bad boy can fit so many genres. So, turn off City Baby Attacked By Rats, cracks some beers, and tune in.

My guest this week is an old friend. I first met Tim Sheridan about a decade ago, when we were both writers trying to figure out how to make a living doing what we loved. Well, it took some time, but we both figured it out. Today, Tim's the celebrated writer of major movies and comics, from Justice League to He-Man and Transformers and Batman and Superman. His latest series is Alan Scott: The Green Lantern, which explores the story of a superhero hiding his homosexuality in the 1940s.We'll have that conversation in a minute.

My guest this week is actor Ray Stewart, who first came to my attention in the role of Darryl Driscoll on the 70s sitcom Barney Miller. Ray played half of a same-sex couple at a time when such characters were vanishingly rare. But you've also seen him on everything from The Bob Newhart Show to Benson to Days of Our Lives and more — and that's not even touching on his career in film and Broadway. Ray's work has taken him around the world and across countless stages, and at 91 years old he's still working in the career he loves — and now, using his success to help other artists like him.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First, a couple quick reminders, starting with a heads-up that my new video about Psycho and the creation of Norman Bates just went live — check that out on my YouTube channel. And keep your eyes peeled for my next video, all about the life and loves of 50s heartthrob Tab Hunter. Also, I hope you'll join me for weekly livestreams over on Twitch every Sunday afternoon at twitch.tv/mattbaume. We just did a watch-along of the anarchically gay Paul Lynde Halloween Special, and we'll be enjoying even more queer Halloween treats this weekend.Also if you haven't yet, take a look at my new book about the history of queer characters on American sitcoms, Hi Honey, I'm Homo! — available now wherever books are sold.

EMPIRE (maybe) STRIKES BACK! - Day 15 “We are people! REAL PEOPLE! Everyone else is phony, but we are REAL!!!” One of those obscure titles that I can't confirm or deny Empire distributed, this is nevertheless a punk schizophrenic mash-up of genres and tone featuring Linda Blair, Tab Hunter, AND Angel herself, Donna Wilkes!

Allan Glaser joins us to discuss his work as a producer, his life with and marriage to Tab Hunter, and how he encouraged Tab to tell his story in both memoir and the documentary Tab Hunter Confidential! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0321806/ http://www.wrotepodcast.com/allan-glaser/

On the heels of DESPERATE LIVING — and its disappointing box office — John Waters knew that he needed a hit, and that he needed his leading lady back. Once again teaming with Divine, Waters set out to make a film that was a little more palatable to mass audiences, one that wouldn't rely on shock value to get its laughs. The resulting film was POLYESTER, released in 1981. Co-starring 50s silver screen heartthrob Tab Hunter, the film would also utilize the infamous "Odorama" scratch-n-sniff card gimmick during its initial release. In this episode, we'll discuss just how Waters went from the subversive, abrasive DESPERATE LIVING to the Douglas Sirk-esque melodrama of POLYESTER, how he got Tab Hunter (and Debbie Harry!) involved, and how the film was received by audiences at the time.  Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy. This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, Justin Bishop, and Todd A. Davis. For episode archives, merch, show notes, and more, visit cinemashock.net

We join the crew as they are discussing pretentious Star Trek titles. We chat about Tab Hunter, Jim Nabors, and other closeted actors of the 50's and 60's. Before we officially did it as a recommendations segment, we dive into the documentaries and podcasts that we love. Also, Matt thinks we all sound the same, and Philippe takes this as an opportunity to give everyone some constructive feedback on their microphone technique. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Vance Bastian and SA "Baz" Collins give their thoughts and reviews of Tab Hunter Confidential. They explore how it relates to queer life and discuss its strengths and flaws.

Yee-haw! We're going back to the wild west on this episode of Bartel Me Something good with Paul Bartel's 1984 comedy western LUST IN THE DUST starring Tab Hunter, Lainie Kazan and the legendary Divine! Originally envisioned as a John Waters project, Bartel ruffled against making a Waters-style film and instead brings his own wild and unpredictable sensibility (while still not skimping on the bad taste). It has musical numbers, butt tattoos, Cesar Romero, death via oral sex and so much more. Check it out, jerks!  The post Episode 181 – Bartel Me Something Good – Lust in the Dust (1984) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Tom and Dave turn on their dirty little cable boxes to do a deep dive into Linda Blair! First the gang clash over Roller Boogie (1979), which for Tom defines his adolescence and according to Dave is a movie about... roller skating. Then they watch the brutal rape and revenge flick Savage Streets (1984) where LB lets the world know she's not the little exorcist girl anymore, and finally they dig up the truly obscure, camp-fest Grotesque (1988). Also... Tom wants a 30 minute movie of Linda Blair farts! Dave doesn't understand the appeal of old Tab Hunter. Tom somehow compares John Vernon to Samuel L Jackson. David Hess demands you send payment! See Patrick Wilson's tip!

"I look into my future and all I see is a long, dark hallway... and no exits." We watched Polyester (1981) with the hilarious Drew Droege and we're ready to eat an entire cake in one sitting. The legendary John Waters takes us on a melodramatic trip through the suburbs by way of the famous "Women's Pictures" directed by Douglas Sirk.  We take a peek behind the velvet curtains and French Provincial decor of the 'burbs with Divine, who gives a stellar performance as Francine Fishpaw, the put upon wife of a filandering pornographer, mother of juvenile delinquents and daughter of a social climbing snob. Francine's oversensitive nose plays a key role in her already fragile mental state and the gimmick of Odorama was developed for the original screenings. Where else but a John Waters picture could you get a scratch-and-sniff card with such fragrances as Roses, Flatulence, Gasoline and New car smell? Polyester may have been Waters' first foray into "mainstream cinema" but all his usuals are there; Mink Stole as the sass-mouth other woman, Edith Massey as Francine's nouveau riche former housekeeper, and Jean Hill as a tire biting gospel singer. We can't forget the absolute dreamboat Tab Hunter as sleazy lothario Todd Tomorrow. Polyester is as tacky as late '70s/early '80s houshold decor and we can't get enough of it. Watch out!  It's the Baltimore Footstomper!!

It's the final week of John Waters June, so get ready to go sexin' with Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak, and Selma Blair in A DIRTY SHAME! To date, this is John's last film and what a hoot-and-a half it is! Filled with lots of nudity, every imaginable sex act, and an oddly sensual game of The Hokey Pokey, A DIRTY SHAME has it all! Well, except a following. This isn't a fan favorite among hardcore Waters devotees, but it's among the most hilarious films in John's filmography, at least in my humble opinion. So, let's get perverted! John Waters June continues on The Blind Rage Podcast! This week, Divine stars as Francine Fishpaw, wife to the philandering owner of a porn theater and mother to a pair of juvenile delinquents, one of whom is making headlines as Baltimore's infamous Foot-Stomper!
