Episode 302: 'A Star is Born' (1954) with Manuel Betancourt

The author of the new film and TV book The Male Gazed (who also penned the 33 1/3 volume on Judy at Carnegie Hall) joins us to celebrate that great icon of gay culture, Judy Garland, in the barn-burning role that should have won her an Oscar. Then, the gang gets quizzed on the similarities between the four different versions of A Star Is Born ('37, '54, '76, and 2018).What’s GoodAlonso - Hi Honey, I’m Homo by Matt BaumDrea - Bentonville Film Festival and the premiere of A View of the World from Fifth AvenueManuel - ShopQueer.co and their mobile queer libraryIfy - Juneteenth Minifest at VidiotsITIDICGolden Globes Purchased by Dick Clark ProductionsIs the IP Era’s “Venture Capital” Philosophy Poisoning Movies?Oregon Man Found Guilty After Setting up Indiana Jones-inspired Booby Traps for the FedsStaff PicksAlonso - Miss JuneteenthDrea - The Philadelphia StoryManuel - The Fifth ElementIfy - JudyPick up Manuel’s new book, The Male GazedVarious takes of “The Man That Got Away”With:Ify NwadiweDrea ClarkAlonso DuraldeManuel BetancourtProduced by Marissa FlaxbartSr. Producer Laura Swisher  Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
