Episode 172: The Last Of Sheila with Matt Baume

Episode 172: The Last Of Sheila with Matt Baume

Author: Bil Antoniou, Michael Soulard, Daniel Krolik May 15, 2023 Duration: 51:53

New episode! It was an honour for us at BGM that podcaster and author Matt Baume made time to sit down and talk to us about Herbert Ross’s The Last Of Sheila, though owing to the fact that both he and Bil loved the movie and because Matt is so great to talk to about anything, the conversation got off topic quite often.


After you check out our new episode, go pre-order Matt’s new book Hi Honey, I’m Homo! coming May 23!


*Note: At the time we recorded this episode, Raquel Welch had not yet passed away, in case you’re wondering why we’re talking about her without mentioning her in past tense!

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.
