Josh Gay

Selling Secrets is the new show by Josh Gay about spy movies, action films & the marketing of Hollywood. Our mission is to look at various movies and franchises, and go behind the scenes of what makes a successful, or not, Hollywood blockbuster. About the host: Josh Gay is an Australian advertising executive, ex-film maker and major nerd about all things action and spy films. After studying film and television at university, Josh worked freelance in the film industry, working in corporate video and as a drone technician for Australia's number one aerial cinematography company.

Selling Secrets Podcast - S1 E6 - Interview with Licence to Queer's David Lowbridge-Ellis
play

12/05/21 • 91 min

Welcome to Selling Secrets.
The show about Action Movies, Spy Films and the marketing of Hollywood.
Episode six is the first of our new format of episodes where I interview experts in their field and discuss how that relates to action movies, spy films and Hollywood.
In this episode, I interview David Lowbridge-Ellis, the creator of Licence to Queer, a website and podcast about Queer representation in the James Bond 007 franchise.
I wanted to discuss the importance of queer representation in action films for an episode of the podcast. However, I understand the privileged lens that I look at life through as a straight, white, cisgender man; so I wanted to bring on a guest who could speak to the topic in a way that I can't. I am so grateful to David for coming on and sharing about why queer representation is so important in films.
During the interview, we discuss James Bond, the early Hollywood Hays Code, representation in modern Hollywood and much more.

Welcome to Selling Secrets.

Episode Seven is a very special episode, where I interview Tony Gay (aka. my Dad).

We discuss realism and authenticity in action films from Tony's unique perspective as a special forces veteran.
We also talk about the filmmaking techniques of action films and how they've evolved over the years, and Tony gives his insights as a professional working in the creative industry.
Thank you to Tony for coming on the episode, it was an absolute privilege to hear about his story, learn more about his incredible life, and just geek out over movies with him.

After a bit of a hiatus, it’s time to return & bring you an update as to where this podcast has been, where I see it going in the future, and why I had to take some time off from creating during our extended lockdowns here in Australia.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode touches on mental health, so I understand if you choose not to listen, but I decided it’s important for me to explain why I had to take a few months off from recording.
We’ll be back to our regular episodes next week with the Fast Saga episode that I’ve been teasing for a while.
Thanks for your patience & understanding during this time. I appreciate everyone who’s listened to the episodes so-far & who’ve reached out asking what’s happening with this show. It means a lot that people are genuinely interested in listening to what I have to say about movies.
Thanks again,
Josh.
