Sewers of Paris: We Were Too Busy Being Gay (Ep 513 - Tree/Stonewall)
As you might’ve heard, I have a new video up on YouTube about the film Dog Day Afternoon, and a queer bank robber who stunned New York way back in the 1970s. For this week’s podcast episode, we’re diving into the Sewers of Paris archives to explore queer life (and, occasionally, crime) in New York o

Bonus video! Rock references, Spencer Tracy blows a kiss, and one hundred missing gay movies
Hello there! I hope you're having a delightful holiday season, which will hopefully be made even more delightful by this week's bonus video in which we take a look at a (possible) Rock Hudson reference in the movie Hail, Caesar! ... and also gossip a bit about Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. Plus, a

Bonus Video! Rock Hudson's hookup habit
Hello there! In this week's bonus video, I'm going to show you some clips that were a little too salacious for my Rock Hudson video: A recording of a call where he (apparently) is arranging an amorous encounter, and some VERY frank language from an ex-boyfriend about Rock's, uh, gifts.

Well hello there! I've got a great big hour-long video about Rock Hudson coming your way next week, but in the mean time here's a video about his incredible agent -- the notorious Henry Willson, one of the sleaziest creeps in Hollywood history.

Bonus video! The mysteries & lies of Rock Hudson's marriage
Hello there! I took a quick research-trip down to Los Angeles this week to visit the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences' archives, and did my best to untangle all the lies, myths, and misdirections surrounding the marriage of Rock Hudson -- a closeted film star whose career began in the 1950s

Bonus video! Tab's Tabloid Troubles and Roddy McDowall: Pirate!
Hello there! In this week's bonus video, we're diving into the coded double-talk in some 50s-era tabloids. What's the REAL agenda behind these magazines? It's not always as it seems, and I have a hunch that some articles about hunky himbo Tab Hunter were designed more to manipulate the star than sha

Bonus video! The marriage of Rock Hudson & other clever cover-ups
Hello there! In this week's bonus video we're exploring the fairy-tale wedding of Rock Hudson, and by "fairy-tale" I mean that it was largely imaginary. In the 1950s, queer people had to go to extraordinary lengths to hide in plain sight, and Rock (and his unpleasant agent, Henry Willson) did everyt
