BGM: Bad Gay Movies = Bitchy Gay Men

There’s just nothing like seeing a movie about S & M directed by the man who made sure your mother enjoyed Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve and Mother’s Day. Just for a special treat, we decided to cover the obnoxiously straight classic bomb that was one of the worst reviewed films of 1994, which some of us actually watched in a movie theatre and enjoyed! Join Daniel and Bil as they talk about...

If you need to make a film about a sensitive social topic that pleads for tolerance, the best person to choose is the man responsible for some of the most nefarious anti-Semitic propaganda of the war years, right? That certainly seems to have been the thinking behind the making of this week’s classic The Third Sex by Veit Harlan Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by T...

Paul Mizzi, host of the  The Swapcast Podcast , joins us on BGM this week for episode #148 to talk about a film that fits in both his and our show’s world!  A gay and straight brother decide they don’t understand each other and so swap lives…for a few hours…and then learn nothing.  You know we can’t make this stuff up.

Back to prime time!  We’re doing another groundbreaking TV movie that takes the story of a man coming out of the closet and makes it all about his parents.  Thankfully, we’re huge Marlo Thomas fans here at BGM.  Join Bil, Daniel and Michael as they watch Consenting Adult by Gilbert Cates Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

One of our favourite directors already took a chance at literary adaptation, so we were looking forward to not having a bad gay movie on our hands when we watched his second stab at bringing a novel to the screen. What we got wasn’t quite what we expected, in fact we didn’t even know if we had the G in the BGM until the last two minutes! Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer T...

Who knew Cartagena had so many Americans!  One of them is Brian Jordan Alvarez, who writes, directs and stars in a sexy comedy in which he is constantly under threat of being beaten to death by his best friend.  How funny is that, we ask you?  Join Bil and Daniel as they discuss Everything Is Free Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

We know that Jessica Chastain is getting Oscar buzz for her performance as Tammy Faye Bakker in  The Eyes Of Tammy Faye , but we wanted to remind you that, once upon a time, our Lord and Saviour Bernadette Peters played the woman with the notorious mascara and had none other than fallen angel Kevin Spacey as her scene partner.  Join Daniel and Bil as they discuss Fall From Grace by Karen Arthur Em...

The most important thing about a good vampire movie is that NOTHING happens.  Join Daniel and Bil as they discuss Bite Marks by Mark Bessenger Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

We rarely have the pleasure of a literary adaptation, but someone had the wise idea to adapt Robert Rodi’s hilarious book…but didn’t notice that it was hilarious.  Daniel could only stay for a few minutes but Bil had to plenty to say about the movie, as did our very special guest  Curtis Te Brinke  of the  Lola and Lani podcast !  Join the fun as we talk about Kept Boy by George Bamber Email: badg...

This week we look at a very serious film, based on the director’s own true story of his abusive relationship with his acting teacher, and his dad’s love of only making love to women who look like Maureen Stapleton.

We’re not really sure about this film’s definition of terror, but we’re also not sure about its definition of Bed & Breakfasts either.  Join Bil, Michael and Daniel as they talk about The Gay Bed & Breakfast Of Terror by Jaymes Thompson Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

It would be hard to decide exactly what our next film was even about if we weren’t lucky enough to have had a full-on Memphis expert Bil Antoniou to explain it, since his four days there taught him everything he needs to know about that wonderful town.  Join Bil, Michael and Daniel as they talk about Tennessee Queer by Earl Goshorn Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme b...

What could possibly make more sense than for a school to force a guy who doesn’t plan to go to prom to take on the job of organizing it?  Things get complicated when he and his best friend both fall for the same guy, but thankfully nobody minds anything in this latest classic that we cover on the show.  Join Bil, Daniel and Michael as they talk about Death To Prom by Matthew Stenerson, Jeremy Wilk...

There’s no better news than to learn that a grandmother left you a property in Greece in her will, but how much better is it to get there and find out that you have also inherited a human clone that you can chain to a wall!  We’re not making this up!  But we are so thrilled to have our special guest  Ryan G. Hinds  back to join Bil and Daniel to talk about D’Agostino by Jorge Ameer Email: badgaymo...

Better late than never!  The pandemic has played havoc with the film industry this past year but the show must go on, and the Academy Awards, while happening in late April instead of the usual February, are set to honour the best of the movies you watched in your living room.  We’re so thrilled that the great Glenn Sumi agreed to join us again for our 5th Annual Oscar Special!

All these modern films are starting to annoy us, so we decided to go back to the gay nineties and remember when making it on Broadway was something people cared about until getting a boyfriend.  Join Michael, Daniel and Bil as they discuss Broadway Damage by Victor Mignatti Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

We’re back! We couldn’t return without sharing with you once again how much we love the one and only Glenn Close, so we decided to talk about the movie in which she appears for 3 seconds and gives a series of incredible cold glares. There’s no Glenn Close without the fabulous Mark of Dublin_Zoetrope fame, so we were thrilled to invite the Instagram superstar to chat with us about the movie! Join B...

Nothing goes better than architects and drug addicts, as the old saying goes, and this week’s film is here to show just how true that is, all of it situated in a gorgeous motel room with no natural light!  Join Bil, Daniel and Michael as they talk about Lucky Bastard by Everett Lewis Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

In 1968, Frank Sinatra was so determined to get Mia Farrow to be in his movie that he divorced her over it, which means he was the only one who didn’t fall asleep by the time the film was over. Much like  Partners , another gay son of a prominent citizen is murdered and a good cop has to do a bad job of catching the killer. Mike, Bil and Dan are on hand to tell you all about it!
