Luca Guadagnino's Queer & Call Me By Your Name | The Burden of (Queer) Representation #145

In what can be described as an episode exclusively inspired as a response to the exclusion of "Queer" and "Challengers" in this year's Academy Awards, Luca Guadagnino-devotee Cris invites spoilsport Dhruv to talk about the director's latest release "Queer" and how wonderfully it complements the director's wonderful "Call Me By Your Name."Listen to the full episode to hear Cris express his love towards Guadagnino's films as Dhruv tries to explain his ambivalence towards them. This is before both of them join forces to lambast the online discourse that consistently lambasts these (and other) films about morally troubling topics and relationships.Major Spoilers for both "CMBYN" and "Queer"!TIME CODESPre-Introduction: [00:00 - 05:40]Introduction: [05:40 - 08:52]Luca Guadagnino's Cinema: [08:52 - 30:38]"Call Me By Your Name": [30:38 - 01:00:06]"Queer": [01:00:06 - 01:33:18]Queerness as a "Curse": [01:33:18 - 01:39:28]Discourse on Discourse: [01:39:28 - 02:11:02]Outro: [02:11:02 - 02:14:22]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcastYOU CAN (& SHOULD!)
