It's taken long enough to finally get to a Doris Day movie! Bil and Michael take a look at one of Doris's last films, Caprice by Frank Tashlin.

If you're a skinny cutie pie who is dreaming of a big bear in the sack, make sure you look to Hilary Swank for fashion tips.

These and more are the things that Bil, Daniel and Michael learned this week when exploring their latest adventure in the gay cinema canon.

This week's episode is a discussion of Douglas Langway's comedy

Bear City

Michael, Daniel and Bil would love to discuss this film but they drank too many Caesars and didn’t really know what was happening.  Apologies in advance for referring to her as Carmen and not Cameron Esposito…

Jewish Princess, White People’s Version of Rappers and Jail Costumes Straight out of The Producers…from the writer of In And Out?

The Gay Though Not Gay (look it up!) episode features a discussion of

Marci X

We're almost at 20!

But until then, Bil, Michael and special guest Alicia Douglas attended the Next Wave Film Festival where they found themselves surrounded by young people...but they didn't die.

Not wanting to be behind the curve, BGM takes a look at a film aiming at the tween set (whatever that is).

Join Bil, Michael and Alicia as they discuss

Darren Stein's

G.B.F.

This week, we get a little soft in the touch:  we actually thought we would have bitchier things to say about this movie, but as it turns out, Vincente Minnelli's look at the Fear Of A Gay Planet might still have things to say to us.

Join Bil, Michael and Daniel as they discuss

Vincente Minnelli's

Tea And Sympathy

How is it possible that being a hustler was such a wonderfully delightful way to live and nobody told us?

Even more shocking, how is it possible that this film is based on a book?

Join Bil, Michael and our Super Special Guest Ryan G. Hinds as they discuss

Q. Allan Brocka's

Boy Culture

Goodness knows that a true friend can leave whatever bodily functions they want on your bed.  At least that's what we solidified in our discussion of our latest BGM, a comedy with anger starring your favourite 80s television sitcom star.

Join Bil, Michael and Daniel as they discuss Casper Andreas'

starring Mindy Cohn!

Violet Tendencies

It's tough when your dad has sex with your best friend, and it's a LOT harder to reconcile when your dad is the same age as you.

Join Bil, Michael and special guest Steven Jackson, host of Road To The Church podcast, as they discuss Chip Hale's

Written by and starring Charlie David.

Mulligans

Bill Clarke showing us dance moves on an audio podcast might not reveal a complete command of the medium, but that doesn't mean that our second guest panel wasn't a complete success.

This week, just in time for Christmas, we look at the connection between gay sex and gruesome murder that eighties movies taught us was completely inevitable.

Join Bil as he welcomes guest panelists Heath Flint and Bill Clarke of Magenta Magazine as they discuss what must have been Anita Bryant's feelgood film of the year,

by William Friedkin

Starring Al Pacino, Karen Allen, Paul Sorvino, and Al Bundy

Cruising

We're still not fully convinced that granny is played by anything other than a white man in a fat suit and wig.

However, BGM is delighted to return to the original crew for our lucky thirteenth episode, so make sure you don't miss out on the fun.

Join Daniel, Michael and Bil as they take a look at Todd Wilson's

Under One Roof

Listen, when the inspiration hits you, you just gotta grab and camera and film...you can't be bothered with a script, lighting, or an actual plot for a movie.  Just grab people off the street and MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

BGM is delighted to welcome a guest panel for this week's episode, as Bil is joined in the superstar million dollar studio the fabulous twosome of Matthew Harris and Kevin Calaguiro as they discuss Michael C. Gallant's

10 Attitudes

This week we solidify Daniel's position as the Bette Midler of our First Wives Club, Bil reveals his ability to apply the philosophy of The Colour Purple to anything, and Michael reveals his ability to eat chocolate mousse and podcast at the same time.

Join us as we discuss Todd Stephens' unforgettable sequel to Another Gay Movie, 

Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild

Despite the fact that it's about a verbally abused woman who hooks up with a sex-addicted modelizer, it's a romantic comedy.  Go figure!

To celebrate reaching our tenth episode, we at BGM have decided to branch outside the norm and review a movie that, while not particularly in gay in content, is fully gay in cultural context, and so we have touched upon Barbra Streisand's Am I Pretty Epic,The Mirror Has Two FacesPlus we have the added bonus of our guest and our first ever Female Token Honorary BGM, Alison Broverman!

Another Australian masterpiece is the focus of a conversation on Bad Gay Movies, but this time Bil has an actual Australian to Ozsplain everything to him.  Paul Mizzi, host of the wonderful The Swapcast Podcast, graciously joins the show to talk about Lonesome by Craig Boreham.
