The sexual tension in #Jongens is best expressed through shoving, apparently... #queermovies #lgbtfilm #lgbtmovies #lgbt

Today on The Queer Gaze Patreon: So much for swimming! It turns out the 2014 Dutch film JONGENS is actually a track and field 'Sports Gay' film.

Tomorrow on Patreon: @conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social hit up Dutch made-for-TV film JONGENS aka BOYS (2014). Subscribe here for early access: www.patreon.com/cw/TheQueerG...

We're exposing the locker room talk in 'Riley' (2023) in our Patreon-exclusive bonus episode on the film: www.patreon.com/TheQueerGaze

👀👀👀

Our last true "Sports Gay" entry is American football film RILEY (2023) from writer/director Benjamin Howard. The problem (and most interesting aspect of the film) is that Dakota’s sexuality doesn't "fit" in the narrative that he and his oppressive father/coach have constructed for his future.

Tomorrow on the pod: @conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social drop the latest episode in their 'Sports Gay' series with 2023's RILEY, about a closeted HS football player.

Riley might not be the most interesting character in 'Riley' (2023). Our new episode for our 'sports gays' theme is out on Thursday: feeds.acast.com/public/shows... But Patreons have access to it now: www.patreon.com/TheQueerGaze

Since I DON’T UNDERSTAND YOU is now streaming on Hulu, it’s a good excuse to re-up our pair of discussions on the film. We have a spoiler-free chat on the Main Feed and a spoiler-y discussion on Patreon.

We found the ending of 'Handsome Devil' baffling and irritating. Find out why in our Patreon-exclusive bonus episode: www.patreon.com/TheQueerGaze #handsomedevil #nicholasgalitzine #andrewscott #lgbtfilm #queermovies

Gotta check this out soon

The second entry of our 'Sports Gays' theme is super cute Irish friend-com Handsome Devil (2016). Featuring a great supporting role by Andrew Scott (before he was, you know, "Andrew Scott"). Plus: muddled messages about conformity, 90s vibes, and the cycles of queer issues.

Today on the pod: @conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social highly recommend first time feature GRIFFIN IN SUMMER, which is extremely funny, surprisingly deep, and features one hell of a lead performance by newcomer Everett Blunck. Listen below for a spoiler-free review!

Tomorrow on the pod: @conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social are dropping a bonus episode on a new film release, GRIFFIN IN SUMMER. It's an adorable film about a 14 year-old playwright who falls for his 25 year-old handyman.

We're kicking off a brand new theme on Sports Gays with IN FROM THE SIDE (2022), the feature film debut of Matt Carter. This is an intriguing title that asks the audience to identify with an adulterous protagonist. Plus: finding community in sports, white gay issues, and how the film uses rugby.

Tomorrow on pod: @conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social hit the pitch to discuss the 2 hour gay rugby film, IN FROM THE SIDE (2022).

Today on the Main Feed: @joelipsett.bsky.social and @conrad-esq.bsky.social close out our 'Family Drama' theme with Bruce LaBruce's 2020 'twincest' film, Saint-Narcisse. The truth is that this film is much more beautiful, self-aware, and interesting than LaBruce simply trying to court controversy.

I thought it was a swimming movie, but it’s actually a track film. 😅 Still fits the bill for @thequeergaze.bsky.social 😂

Tomorrow on the pod: @joelipsett.bsky.social and @conrad-esq.bsky.social return to wrap up the 'Family Drama' theme with a Canadian tale of twincest in SAINT-NARCISSE. Prepare to be scandalized!

We're continuing our 'Family Drama' theme with a look at Quebec director Jean-Marc Vallée's 70s-set coming of age/coming out film, C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005). It's a visually stunning film, filled with needle drops, and a fantastic lead performance by Marc-André Grondin.
