Drag, Dilemmas, and Desert Delights with Philip Bahr

09/12/23 • 41 min

Ever wondered how a film from the 90s shaped the contemporary queer landscape? Philip Bahr dives right in and breaks down the iconic 1994 Australian film 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.' It's a frothy, fun, and deeply impactful film that still holds significance in the current political climate. He sifts through its layers, characters, and the harsh reality of that era, as well as elements of the film that may not have aged particularly well.
Brad is on vacation so rather than replay an older episode he offers one from one of his favorite podcasts. Reel Charlie Speaks is an LGBTQ podcast spin-off of the film and television review blog, Reel Charlie, which has been looking at movies and TV from a gay male perspective since 2009. Each month the host, Philip Bahr, selects a classic queer film, television series, or creator. He talks about how the subject spoke to him when he first discovered it years ago, and how it stood the test of time. Spoilers possible. Alerts always.

Why are All My Friends Obsessed with Boys?

Ever wonder what it feels like to redefine yourself, step into a new identity, and navigate a world that feels like a foreign country? That's what Kit experienced when she came out as a lesbian at the age of 30. Recorded for the Coming Out Stories podcast, Kit and Emma Goswell explore her journey, discussing the societal expectations and realities that made her struggle with her identity. They examine the stereotypical portrayal of the "coming out" experience versus the sometimes anticlimactic reality, and the transformative process of creating a fresh life and a new identity. Kit not only embraces change but defiantly uses her story to challenge the status quo in the theatre production world.
Host Brad Shreve is on vacation and rather than give you dead air during his time away, he has chosen episodes from some of his favorite podcasts to share with you. This week's episode is from Coming Out Stories, a podcast hosted by the delightful Emma Goswell.

Brad Shreve:

I’m Brad Shreve and each week, guests share how they’re taking action, or explaining how they keep their shit together through it all, or maybe they’ll simply ent
