Bonus Video! Thank crabs for Rebel Without a Cause
Hello there!
In this week's bonus video, we're taking a look at a very unlikely connection between the rom-com Straight Jacket and the sci-fi/horror film Alien. Is one of the crew members trans? Well, that depends on how you look at a very tiny detail in the sequel.
Also, we're taking a sneak peek at my upcoming video about Rebel Without a Cause, and in particular a weird incident that occurred when the director was trying to persuade James Dean to appear in the film. AND! The time that James Dean and his boyfriend (???) crossed paths with a no-talent hack named Ronald Reagan.

Can’t wait for this video! Is there a date?

Try making Linktr.ee/MattBaume for links, I've seen more than 50 links on other's, I don't know if there is a limit. I use it for my business Linktr.ee/TheRealEstateSlayer
I watched Rebel without a cause a couple of years ago and was blown away. For a 50s film to be that queer and confrontational is amazing. Also I know James Dean is iconic but Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood are equally great in that film.
Can I ask, I know that for a while you hinted a couple videos that I guess I’ve gotten shelves? The Power Rangers and Buffy? I think with Buffy the actual onscreen queerness is less interesting away than the amount of weirdness that happened in fandom. Or in the extended universe. In Cannon it’s mostly the
I remember Sal Mineo’s name on the marquee of the theater on SM Blvd. for P.S. You’re Cat is Dead. Poor guy.
