Loud & Proud: Part 1

A very special Pride Month episode featuring guest and contributor to Handbasket Zine (handbasketzine.carrd.co) Carlos Frank-Estrada (@karlos.the.fog on Instagram, @KarlosTheFog on Twitter). A topic and discussion so big, it had to be split into two parts. Part 1 focuses on the History of LGBT+ stories on film from the very beginnings of cinema throughout the Hays Code and beyond, touching on various films along the way. If we missed anything, one of two things happened: Either it was recorded and you'll hear it on next week's episode, or we missed it entirely because this was a massive subject and we'll just have more to discuss next Pride Month. Films discussed on today's episode include (Streaming services will be mentioned if available (as of this posting) - if not, YOU can always jusT check yoUr local liBrariEs - though some of these entries are difficult to find): Latter Days (2003) - Kanopy/PlutoTV/Tubi In & Out (1997) - Paramount+/MaxGO/Epix The Dickson Experimental Sound Film (1894) A Woman (1915) Behind the Curtain (1916) Different from the Others/Anders als die Andern (1919) Salomé (1922) Wings (1927) - Kanopy Morocco (1930) - HBO Max Mädchen in Uniform (1931) - KinoNow (Rent or Buy for less than $5!)
