The one thing you don’t expect from a movie about the prime era of bathhouses in the seventies is that it will be about straight people, but we here at BGM are all about irony.  Join Bil and Daniel as they talk about Saturday Night At The Baths by David Buckley Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Mikey is still wandering the Alps without cell phone reception and can’t be heard from, but given how Bil and Dan feel about this week’s movie, he’s probably having a better time than they are anyway.  Thanks to a recommendation from deep in the dark web, we went in search of an obscure British film and found ourselves watching A Wedding Most Strange by Trevor Garlick.
