BGM: Bad Gay Movies = Bitchy Gay Men

Bil invites actor and playwright Adam Bailey to BGM for the first time and they discuss a film that, half a year later, is still a contentious experience for all involved.

New episode! It was an honour for us at BGM that podcaster and author Matt Baume made time to sit down and talk to us about Herbert Ross’s The Last Of Sheila, though owing to the fact that both he and Bil loved the movie and because Matt is so great to talk to about anything, the conversation got off topic quite often. After you check out our new episode, go pre-order Matt’s new book Hi Honey, I’m...

All the pleasure of your favourite dinner theatre shows is brought to the low stakes game known as Stepping Out, and Daniel and Bil are here to tell you that Liza makes it worthwhile anyway!   Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Between their shared love of movies and all things Isabelle Huppert, it’s no surprise that Bil and Nicholas Bell of the Fish Jelly podcast and Ion Cinema constantly go off topic, but they do their best to keep things centred on their discussion of Robert Aldrich’s The Killing Of Sister George.   Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Bil is a huge fan of the Fish Jelly podcast so he was thrilled when one of its hosts, Joseph Robinson, agreed to sit down and talk about the 1981 horror film Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (aka Night Warning).    Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Everyone knows Michael loves to discover what’s on Shudder, so Bil asked him to take a look at Yann Gonzalez’s Knife + Heart (Un Couteau Dans Le Coeur) and give him his thoughts.   Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

It took a Londoner to make a Torontonian out of Bil Antoniou, which is what happened when he met his friend Bill Clarke doing a play twenty years ago and he opened Bil up to the possibilities of the city’s art scene. We haven’t had Bill on the show since the episode on  Cruising , but he returned to reminisce over their memories of their friendship as well as to talk about  Winter Kept Us Warm   b...

The one and only Curtis Campbell joins Bil to talk about being fans of Lauren Bacall and discuss how The Fan ties into their feelings about gays and their mean mommies. Plus follow Curtis’ hit show Gay For Pay With Blake And Clay and listen to his podcast Lola and Lani . Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Bil has the great pleasure of sitting down with Anders Yates to talk about Rift by Erlingur Thoroddsen but, as the film doesn’t give them much to work with, they end up talking about Sweden and flying instead.   Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Magnificent comedian Jonathan Duffy joins Bil to talk about MY POLICEMAN and figure out if Harry Styles is worth getting excited over.   L Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

It’s our 7TH ANNUAL OSCAR EPISODE! And for the 7th time in a row, the one and only Glenn Sumi joins Bil and Daniel to talk about this year’s nominees, who we think will win, who we think should win, who Bil hates, and who Daniel bestows with his venerated Yenta Awards!

BGM has a real treat for its audience this week, the rare opportunity of talking to a director who is capable of making GGMS! (that’s Good Gay Movies for those of you didn’t know). Jim Fall, who delighted us all with his 1999 instant classic Trick and The Lizzie McGuire Movie a few years later, joins Bil to talk about the making of his 2006 comedy Wedding Wars, which gained significance with the n...

We got Mikey back!  Bil let him pick whatever he wanted to do for his episode this season, and Michael Soulard decided he wanted nothing more than to indulge in the memories of erotic thrillers of the nineties.  Join him and Bil as they discuss Basic Instinct by Paul Verhoeven and Body Of Evidence by Uli Edel.   Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

If you’re like us, you can’t get enough of a bad gay gimmick, and one of the best is body swaps! Paul Mizzi, co-host of The Swapcast Podcast, joins Bil for a look at the 2020 romantic drama Out Of Body by Jason T. Gaffney   Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Bil’s guest for this episode is author Matthew Harris, who was asked to choose the film he wanted to cover. As a huge Drag Race fan, Matthew’s first choice was the Bianca Del Rio vehicle Hurricane Bianca! Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Ryan G. Hinds has always been an unabashed lover of the classic musical XANADU, and with the passing this summer of the awe-inspiring Olivia Newton-Jones, Bil thought it would be great to have him on the show to talk about what he loves about it. And he and Bil have WORDS about this. Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

It’s a guest’s choice episode, and I knew I could count on my friend Heath to go CanCon on me. I was happy with the choice, however, as it was a film I had somehow never seen before and was very happy to finally catch up with. Based on a Brad Fraser play that I loved, Love And Human Remains was Denys Arcand’s first foray into English-language filmmaking, and we take a look to see how it has aged a...

Bil never needs an excuse to talk about his favourite show, so it was a thrill for him when Robert Watson, a fellow Ab Fab fan, asked to discuss the 2016 film adaptation of the greatest show of all time on the podcast.  Follow Robert’s Instagram, check out his live comedy shows .

It was a great honour to us that the delightful James Gibson-Bray agreed to sit down with Bil Antoniou and talk about a film that defies all understanding, the recent Canadian-made romantic comedy My Fake Boyfriend by Rose Troche.

Making the acquaintance of social media luminary and now inspired Substack author Mark O’Donovan (aka Dublin Zoetrope) has been one of BGM’s biggest gets. Bil had the thrill of getting Mark back on the show for a second time to talk about a film that covers the biography of another brilliant Irishman, Brian Gilbert’s Wilde. Bil hadn’t seen it in more than 20 years and was very curious to see how i...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that you cannot have too many Jane Austen adaptations, but does it still hold true? Bil is joined by the fabulous Said Atabaki to talk about Joel Kim Booster and Andrew Ahn’s recently released Fire Island, this week on BGM.   Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

If a Bernadette Peters movie isn’t good and Daniel doesn’t see it, does it even exist?  He and Bil decided to take a look at her leading role in Merchant Ivory’s ill-fated Slaves Of New York. Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Bil’s guest for this episode is the incomparable film scholar Gregory Rosebrugh, who has graced BGM with his presence four times in the past. Greg and Bil take in one of 2021’s most celebrated LGBT+ films,  Firebird  by Peeter Rebane, and discuss whether or not it meets the mark of being a truly powerful and important love story.
