Dennis is joined via Zoom by Tom Gustafson & Cory Krueckeberg, the men behind the new gay movie-musical, Glitter and Doom. Tom directs, Cory writes and edits and they produce together. The film is a loosely autobiographical love story between two young men, a broody down-on-his luck musician named Doom (Alan Cammish) and a sunny aspiring circus performer named Glitter (Alex Diaz) In the interview, Cory recalls how he wrote the script on his own and then presented it to Tom on their 20th anniversary as a couple. Tom talks about the decision to shoot in Mexico City and recalls the international casting process, the duo's commitment to casting two openly queer leads and reveals that there were a few straight actors who claimed to be gay in the hopes it would get them cast. The pair also describe their interactions with the Indigo Girls who lent 25 songs to the film and also appear in it. Other topics include: shooting a sex scene in a tent, casting bad-ass women like Tig Notaro, Missi Pyle and Kate Pierson from the B-52s in supporting roles and the time a festival rejected the movie because the programmer felt that it "appropriated lesbian culture."
Our fiftieth (full-length) installment! Thanks to all who have been listening, especially those with us from the start, and we hope the next fifty are enjoyable. It seemed right to close out that milestone, and the first half of Season 2, with something a bit more relaxed. So here we are with another inspirations episode, this time on thirteen films that we think are particularly suited for Changeling: the Dreaming. (It would've been ten like the other inspirations episodes, but there was no way we could have kept it to that few.) This is a mix of movies officially recommended in the books and some of our own picks, a balance between overtly fae-themed films and others that more generally reflect the themes of the game. In order of discussion, here are the trailers. Some of them are excessively Hollywood, for which you have our apologies: Amélie (dir.

Have you ever had a dream from the Lord and wondered if it was ever going to come to pass? A couple years out of Bible College, Tom Gustafson was yearning for the time he could be on the mission field and finally decided that if he didn’t do it now, he didn’t think he ever would. In a relatively short order, Tom moved overseas and the Lord has used him in mighty ways. Listen in particularly to what God is doing in public school systems in the Philippines.
Tom Gustafson’s musical, Were the World Mine, sets A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a modern high school. Timothy, a bullied teen, casts a spell that makes his tormentors fall in love with people of the same sex. My guest and I have mixed feelings about the work.
The aerial views of the Iowa Great Lakes from Drone Photographs by Tom Gustafson are a thing of mystic and beauty. Tom has a great story of how he began using drones as a chronicle of our majestic lakes and with a little urging from his wife, began showcasing and publishing his astonishing eye and perspective. He also has collaborated on published books on other areas of beauty which he shares with us. Thanks Tom for views we have missed all along. YouTube video at https://youtu.be/mhmuWTa8iGA

Tom used to be a full time assistant teacher, but he was not satisfied in his every work life. He knew he cared about people and wanted to share the truth and love about Jesus FREELY. He was not able to do that in the classroom so he decided to take a step of faith into the mission world by quitting his job and flying across the world.{ For more info on Tom: www.saveallnations.org }

Two new movies pay tribute to musical instruments and/or traditions that haven't always gotten their due in mainstream USA. In part one, Tad Nakamura, director of "Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings." It's a moving portrait of the musician who's taken the ukulele—-sometimes wrongly dissed as a novelty instrument—-to virtuosic heights. In part two, Tom Gunderson director of "Mariachi Gringo," the tale of a young man from the midwest who falls in love with Mexico and devotes himself to mariachi music. Lead actor Shawn Ashmore devoted himself to the music too, going to school on vihuela. The film also includes Mexican diva Lila Downs.
