Episode 126: The Detective

Author: Bil Antoniou, Michael Soulard, Daniel Krolik September 26, 2020 Duration: 1:08:05

In 1968, Frank Sinatra was so determined to get Mia Farrow to be in his movie that he divorced her over it, which means he was the only one who didn’t fall asleep by the time the film was over. Much like Partners, another gay son of a prominent citizen is murdered and a good cop has to do a bad job of catching the killer. Mike, Bil and Dan are on hand to tell you all about it!The Detective

Ever find yourself watching a movie with a prominent gay character or theme and thinking, "Well, that was a choice"? You're not alone. Hosts Bil Antoniou, Michael Soulard, and Daniel Krolik gather for BGM: Bad Gay Movies = Bitchy Gay Men, a film discussion series that is less about reverence and more about riotous, unfiltered reaction. The premise is simple: they watch movies that prominently feature gay narratives, characters, or creators, and then dissect them with the kind of detailed, passionate, and often hilariously critical eye that only true fans can muster. This isn't a dry academic analysis; it's the lively, sometimes chaotic conversation you'd have with your funniest friends after the credits roll. Each episode of this podcast dives into a different film, exploring what works, what absolutely doesn't, and all the campy, problematic, or accidentally profound moments in between. You'll hear them celebrate hidden gems, eviscerate tired tropes, and maybe even find unexpected depth in a movie everyone else wrote off. It's a celebration of queer cinema in all its messy glory, driven by three distinct voices who are never short on a pointed observation or a perfectly timed joke. Tune in for smart, salty, and deeply entertaining talk that proves sometimes the most rewarding part of a movie is getting to complain about it afterward.
