BGM: Bad Gay Movies = Bitchy Gay Men

Or as they say it in the film, MAAAAAAAAme.  Lucille Ball was nervous about being too old for the part so she rubbed an entire chicken’s worth of fat on the lens every morning, and the result is that when she’s onscreen, you squint.  The rest of the time, you wince. The good news is, Bil, Daniel and Mike had special guests Michael Lyons and Vee Willard of the History Boys to talk to them about it!...

More gays, more moms.  France made a TV movie that we think was looking to educate everybody about having a gay son, and when that gay son has a shack in the backyard to grow plants in. Vive La France! Upon request,  Bil, Dan and Mike watch and review Just a Question of Love (Juste une question d'amour) by Christian Faure.

Your mom’s kinda okay with you being gay, you met a guy that you’re, like, pretty sweet on and your neighbour is on Mad TV.  Obviously you have a lot of conflict in your life, especially since you need to keep your restaurant going, so you invent dumplings for the first time in human history. Listen as Bil, Michael and Daniel talk about Eat With Me by David Au. Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Ph...

The wisdom from conservative straights is that God created Adam and Eve, and not Adam and Steve.  We have found out, in our film viewing, that this is absolutely true: if there is a god, he could not possibly have created a bad gay movie. Mike, Bil and Dan are back and they've watched and reviewed Craig Chester's Adam And Steve. Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Th...

Lots of things to learn on this episode:  firstly, that Scott Wolf has finally aged, secondly that Michael Urie isn’t always brilliant and, mostly, that Bil might be a dog-killer.  Want to know more?  Listen and find out! This week’s film has got it all:  murder, kidnapping, comedy, real estate and trips to Bhutan. Listen as we talk about Such Good People by Stewart Wade. Email: badgaymovies2013@g...

We’re so grateful to our listener who suggested this movie.  It had been much too long since we’d watched a gay Mormon movie, and finding out there’s a sequel to this one makes us even happier. Bil welcomes another guest panel as they discuss The Falls by Jon Garcia. Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

The one thing they have not made enough of is movies about brothers who don’t get along.  It’s the freshest plot in the world, and it’s been rehashed with a former BGM star and a hot porn star for some great dramatic possibilities.  Or is it?  Join Bil, returning guest Steven Jackson and first-time BGM guest Phil Skala as they discuss Tiger Orange by Wade Gasque Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com P...

You’ve watched Weekend enough times to know that relationships can’t happen without long, wordless moments of naked, sun-dappled flesh.  Our guest panel episode discovered that when Bil was joined by Matthew Harris and Kevin Calaguiro for a discussion of AUGUST by Eldar Rapaport Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

It was made in 1969, and yet it seems about as modern as Boat Trip…what does that say?.  Bil, David and Michael watched it and really need to talk about it.  (It’s on Youtube…you can watch it too). Join the BGM boys as they discuss THE GAY DECEIVERS by Bruce Kessler Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

If ever a sailing vessel needed to crash into an iceberg and save an actor’s career from its worst possibilities, it is this one.  Bil, David and Michael watched it and really needed a vacation right afterward. Join the BGM boys as they discuss BOAT TRIP by Mort Nathan Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Honestly, if we were in this movie, we’d have gender re-assignment surgery too…it would be the only way to escape. This week, Bil, Michael and Daniel discuss CAN’T STOP THE MUSIC by Nancy Walker Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Magnus and Ryan have decided to not have sex for 6 months until they get to know each other.  Because apparently there’s anything new you can learn about a man after a month. Listen as Bil, Daniel and Michael talk about The Skinny by Patrik-Ian Polk Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Casper Andreas leaves the Big Apple behind for an exciting look at the Hollywood Dream.  It’s the typical story: Boy Comes to L.A., Boy Becomes a Porn Star, Boy Falls In Love With His John, Roommate Becomes A Fetish Porn Online Superstar.  You know, typical. But it is art? Listen to us talk about Going Down In La-La Land Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chron...

Before they let Alice know she was STILL Alice, Wash West and Richard Glatzer spent years making porn to research a movie about the porn industry….and it’s possible the research turned out better than the result. Join Bil, Daniel and Michael for a look at THE FLUFFER by Wash West, Richard Glatzer Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

A sexy thriller…but are there any thrills?  IS THERE ANY SEX?  You’ll find out this week. Join Bil, Daniel and Michael for a look at OUT TO KILL by Rob Williams Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

It’s part Another Woman, it’s part Manhattan Murder Mystery, part Chicken Nugget confusion and all about Dry Elbows! Join Bil, Daniel Krolik and our dear returned Michael for a look at Scenes From A Gay Marriage by Matt Riddlehoover Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Daniel wants you all to know he’s so, so sorry. Everyone else knows that when a guy tells his parents that he’s gay, his father immediately goes to a gay bar and gives it a shot to see what all the fuss is about. A film that has the Rolls Royce of Jewish Mothers, the one and only Lainie Kazan! Listen as Bil, Daniel and special guest Amanda Barker as they discuss Oy Vey, My Son Is Gay by Evgeny Afi...

This is the episode in which guest panelists reveal the terrible shame of Bil’s life: he doesn’t know who Regina George is! The rest of the time, he does a pretty fine job of welcoming guest panelists to talk about yet another entry in that most questionable sexy gay boy film series, the classic Eating Out oeuvre.

Even though you’re already in another city and you’re better off hiding as a grocery store clerk, it makes perfect sense to hide from the mob by dressing up as drag queens and becoming nationally famous. And wearing dresses that reveal your genuine feminine curves. And casting David Duchovny as “uptight”. WHAT? That’s right, we watched Connie and Carla by Michael Lembeck! Email: badgaymovies2013@g...

The actress who showed us what a woman can be. The actor who showed us the levels of complexity that men can achieve on screen. A great Oscar-nominated character actor who turns out to have been hot when he was young. A woman who mutilates her breasts for dramatic effect. NUDE HORSEBACK RIDING? A Movie that can't be missed. Bil and special guest Julie Florio discuss John Huston's Reflectio...

Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive.  We could not have made it to 30 episodes without you!! We’re so excited about the end of our third season that we have gone back in the Gay But Not Gay archives for an unforgettably fun (and unintentionally funny) seventies classic.  Join the boys as they discuss Airport 1975 by Jack Smight Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer T...

If you’re in West Hollywood and someone gets beheaded, DON’T worry, the cops won’t tape off the crime scene, so you can just go and moon the devil the next night.  HUH? Bil, Daniel and returning champ Michael for our Halloween special! Hellbent by Paul Etheredge Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Everyone knows that a gay man wearing sports jackets and full-length jeans is in a downward spiral, so thank God for friends when our hero is given the chance to redeem his spotty past by attending his Alma Mater’s scholarship contest. Listen as Bil, Michael and Daniel talk about Judas Kiss by J.T. Tepnapa Email: badgaymovies2013@gmail.com Photo by Michael Sheffer Theme by The Chronos Band

Did you know that if you’re a gay man who marries a lesbian, she might become a jealous bitch?   That’s what happens when you write a movie without ever having liked a woman in your life. Daniel and Bil watched a movie starring Meadow Soprano, so they needed the help of another fabulous Italian broad to talk to them about it. Julio Florio is the special guest on an episode talking about I Do by Gl...

Anyone with even the slightest appreciation for comedy was devastated by the news that Robin Williams passed away in August 2014, which led to much revisiting of his career, including the hits, the misses, the laughs and the tears.  He leaves behind a rich and varied filmography that includes, in its richness, a number of gay characters such as the one that Bil and Daniel cover in their episode on...
