175. Young Adult with special guest Kelly Hardy

from Movies That Made Us Gay · host Scott Youngbauer & Peter Lozano

"Love conquers all, have you not seen the Graduate? Or like, I don't know, anything?" We're rounding out our Diablo Cody joints this year and invited over the hilarious Kelly Hardy  to watch Young Adult. Seeing Charlize Theron as a "psychotic prom queen bitch" who takes on her hometown to rescue to her old beau Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson) from his wife (Elizabeth Reaser) and new born, is dare we say the most refreshing way beautiful people have ever been portrayed in film. This very anti-Hollywood movie rubbed certain people the wrong way when it came out in 2011, but just like Jennifer's Body's we're here to tell you this movie is incredible, and Theron's tour de force performance should have been Oscar nominated. Topics discussed are why gay men might gravitate towards a character as awful, beautiful, and complex as Mavis Gary. Complicated relationships with hometowns, and Patrick Wilson always being cast as the "Dumb Hot Dad" in movies.  Grab your room tempeature Diet Coke, and breakout your Teenage Fanclub mixtape, it's Young Adult!
