| The Little Hours (with Tyler Mead) | 13 Dec 2024 | 01:17:02 | |
This week, we had special guest Tyler Mead on to talk about the 2017 comedy (mostly?) The Little Hours. Based on one story from The Decamaron (apparently. We've certainly never read it), it's a mostly improvved story where Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie and Kate Micucci play foul-mouthed, horny nuns and they're all at least a little bit queer too. So what's not to love? Topics discussed:

| Pitchfork | 15 Nov 2024 | 01:23:45 | |
We're back! After a long hiatus while Chris moved across country, we're officially in full swing again, and bringing you a talk about the 2016 slasher (stabber? poker?) Pitchfork, about a group of teens being hunted by a man with a pitchfork for a hand for... reason? Topics discussed:

| Baby Steps | 27 Nov 2023 | 01:17:01 | |
This week, we watched Baby Steps, the sequel to the 2018's Say Yes, which you may remember from a past episode, is about a woman with cancer who decides to set up her husband and her twin brother. In the sequel, they're still together, and from beyond the grave, she's decided to interfere in their lives further, this time by telling them that she froze some eggs and they should have her baby. Oh, and also there's a DPing scene Topics discussed:

| Hot Guys with Guns | 17 Aug 2020 | 01:17:25 | |
This week, fighting through technical difficulties, we talked about the 2013 film Hot Guys With Guns, about two ex boyfriends and wannabe private eyes who solve the crime of who robbed a bunch of Hollywood sex parties. The title is promising, can it live up to it? Probably not! Topics discussed:

| Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds | 03 Aug 2020 | 01:13:48 | |
This week, we were joined by the incomparable Mike Johnson and Kyle Getz from the Gayish podcast to talk about the 2006 film Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds. Scream taught us that, in the sequel, the body count is always higher, the death scenes are always more elaborate, and the killer is never dead. Will those rules hold true to this tale of sexual trickery? Let's find out! Topics discussed:

This week, we answered the question of why we'll never do a David Decoteau movie on this podcast. Topics discussed:

| Bear City | 20 Jul 2020 | 01:33:21 | |
This week, the boys watched the 2010 film Bear City, a hairy, gay attempt at Sex and the City, that Chris has a lot of opinions about. Can a twink make it in bear's world? Can a bear make it in a twink's world? What if neither of those classifications applied and it was just a boring romantic comedy without jokes? Let's find out! Topics discussed:

| SHORTS: Legally Blonde | 13 Jul 2020 | 00:09:45 | |
This week, for our bonus short, we begin by talking about Chris in the shower, and end up talking about that scene in Legally Blonde where Enrique the poolboy gets outed for knowing about designer shoes. It's a wild ride. This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm | |||
| The 10 Year Plan | 06 Jul 2020 | 01:13:37 | |
Best friends (who don't seem to actually like each other very much) Myles and Brody make a pact that they'll be boyfriends if they're still single in 10 years in this JC Calciano entry from 2014. It's your typical rom-com setup, but will there be a twist this time? Does the fact that it's not funny or romantic count? Topics discussed:

| We Read Movies SHORTS: Hey, Google | 29 Jun 2020 | 00:17:00 | |
We're trying something new today! We noticed a glut of bad gay short films on our streaming services, and decided, on our off weeks, that maybe we'd talk briefly about those. So if an hour and a half of us yammering in your ears every two weeks just isn't enough, now you can hear us talk for twenty more minutes about a short film it only takes ten minutes to watch. Topics discussed:

| Another Gay Movie | 22 Jun 2020 | 01:28:02 | |
This week, we talked about another gay movie, specifically, the gay movie Another Gay Movie, a parody of the raunchy screwball sex comedies (ike American Pie). Has it aged well? Does it go way too far in the raunchy direction? Why does Drew keep defending it? WHY?! Topics discussed:

| Kaboom | 08 Jun 2020 | 01:43:19 | |
This week, we talked about Greg Araki's 2010 psycho-sci-fi-sex-dramedy Kaboom. Look, I don't know how to describe this movie to you, it's crazy. Someone sees a murder, there's a lesbian witch and a doomsday cult and some very gross mac and cheese. Topics discussed:

| The Singing Forest | 13 Nov 2023 | 01:27:32 | |
This week, we watched The Singing Forest, a movie that we have a lot of theories and questions about. Questions like, "why?" and "wait, what?!" IMDb calls it "The worst LGBT movie ever," are they right? Let's find out! Topics discussed:

| Kiss Me Kill Me | 25 May 2020 | 01:40:26 | |
Hey all you cool cats and kittens, this week, we discussed the 2015 tiger-centric film Kiss Me Kill Me, a neo-noir Hollywood thrilller directed by two-time We Read Movies director Casper Andreas. When Dusty Young's rich fiance is murdered in what looks, to everyone but the characters in the movie, like a robbery gone wrong, he is blamed for the murder. Now, with the help of some sassy lesbians and a hypnotist drag queen, he'll have to find the real killer, clear his name and maybe find love along the way. Topics discussed:

| Vampire Boys | 11 May 2020 | 01:09:30 | |
This week, Chris asked if we could watch the 2011 horror romance Vampire Boys, and like idiots we all said "I don't know what that is, but sure." With vampires who can go out in the sunlight, and aren't afraid of crosses, but do need the love of a mortal, it's a lot like a gay Twilight. A Twinklight, if you will. Topics discussed:

| Eating Out | 27 Apr 2020 | 01:31:06 | |
This week, we talked about the 2004 "sex comedy" Eating Out, which at the time was hailed as gay sexy fun. 2004 was a different time. A time of Blockbuster Video, flip phones, and questionable consent. A time when it was totally cool for men to get laid through trickery. A time when supposed allies were allowed to just make it rain gay slurs. Basically, I'm saying this movie hasn't aged well. Topics discussed:

| Going Down in La La Land | 20 Apr 2020 | 01:44:43 | |
This week, the boys watched the 2011 film Going Down in La La Land, the almost certainly semi-autobiographical story of a reluctant pornstar who finds the love of America's favorite sitcom dad. Or, as it's described by Google "Friendships sustain people living in Hollywood and help them deal with the celebrity-obsessed culture." Topics discussed:

| eCupid | 30 Mar 2020 | 01:51:44 | |
This week, Chris Haigy, Drew McFadden and Eric Henke watched the 2011 romantic (?) comedy (?) eCupid, featuring a bunch of straight people trying to play gay, and Morgan Fairchild as a magical computer genie Topics discussed:

| eXploited | 30 Oct 2023 | 01:39:21 | |
This week, we watched the 2022 "thriller" eXploited, which is in no way related to eXistenZ, despite their shared love of capitalizing letters in the middle of words. No, this one is about how online porn leads to murder. Or... not really murder, I guess. There's actually surprisingly little murder in this movie that sure makes you want to think it's about murder. But you do get a lot of weird fetishes! Topics discussed:

| The Covenant | 16 Oct 2023 | 01:27:13 | |
This week, we watched the 2006 homoerotic boarding school witch movie The Covenant, starring Sebastian Stan and Steven Strait. Although it's not a "gay movie" per se, it's actually surprisingly gay, and the swimming pool scene was important for a lot of gay teens in the early 2000's. Topics discussed:

| Out of Body | 02 Oct 2023 | 01:28:07 | |
This week, we watched the 2020 movie Out of Body. When a demon is released from an orb (you know how all orbs have demons living inside them?), and possesses the body of Malcolm, it's up to his best friend Henry (who's secretly in love with him) to get it back. Or that's what the description on IMDb would have you believe. Mostly Malcolm just tries to get Henry laid from beyond the grave for some reason, and then the movie kind of ends. Topics discussed:

| Open Cam | 11 Sep 2023 | 01:23:20 | |
This week, we watched the 2005 film Open Cam, which only served to reinforce for Chris that he's getting older and will someday die. A serial killer is stalking the streets of Washington DC, and specifically targeting the men in a DC based cam site, but don't worry because a mysterious gay detective (who may or may not be a ghost) is on the case. Will they figure out who did it before the audience does? Is the sex in this movie really happening? Why do all the dicks look so pixelated? Let's find out! Topics discussed:

| Red, White and Royal Blue | 28 Aug 2023 | 01:14:43 | |
This week, we (along with 6 million straight women) watched the 2023 movie Red, White and Royal Blue. A Rom-Com (but hold the com, please) about the son of a US president falling in love with the Prince of England. Despite being about gay people, it seems to have been made exclusively for a straight audience, and boy do we have some thoughts about that. Topics discussed:
This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm | |||
| The Men Next Door | 14 Aug 2023 | 01:29:16 | |
This week, we watched the 2012 Rob Williams film The Men Next Door. When a sad sack without any real friends starts dating both a father and his son at the same time, he has to make a choice, and it'll involve retelling the story to four different people in great detail. Topics discussed:
This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm | |||
| Love, Simon | 31 Jul 2023 | 01:42:40 | |
This week, we watched the 2018 young adult film Love, Simon, a movie that's about 50% emails. When a closetted gay teen is blackmailed with emails that he sent to another closetted gay teen, it leads to a dramatic coming out that will have everyone in his life going "oh, okay. That's fine" Topics discussed:

| Deadly Skies | 17 Jul 2023 | 01:24:33 | |
This week, we watched the 2006 made for HereTV movie Deadly Skies, starring future neo-con Antonio Sabato Jr. When an planet killer asteroid threatens to crash into the Earth, it's up to a plucky band of scientists and two gay Air Force guys to save the world by turning on a secret laser everyone knows about but no one wants them to use. This is another HereTV movie that they made with a gay version and a straight version, although this time we all got on the same page and watched the gay version. Topics discussed:

| Vampires: Brighter in Darkness | 24 Jun 2024 | 01:51:08 | |
After a brief hiatus, we're back, with the truly amazing bad movie Vampires: Brighter in Darkness. Vampires are real, y'all, and they're all gay, obviously. But otherwise they're not at all like the vampires you're used to. They can summon demon scorpions, and teleport, and hitch rides on the backs of airplanes, but mostly they just hiss at each other. They hiss so much. Topics discussed:

| Fire Island (but not THAT one) | 03 Jul 2023 | 01:33:35 | |
This week, we watched the 2023 slasher movie Fire Island, not to be confused with the 2022 rom-com Fire Island. It may or may not be a sequel to past We Read Movies flick Last Ferry (it's not), and it may or may not even be a gay movie, but we have fun with it. Topics discussed:

| Triple Crossed | 12 Jun 2023 | 01:44:24 | |
This week, after some mild technical difficulties, we're back! And we watched the 2013 gay hitman flick Triple Crossed, starring and directed by the very good sport friend of the pod Sean Paul Lockhart. When an ex-marine is given a job to kill the ex boyfriend of his friend and sometimes lover... you know what? This plot is incomprehensibe. but we had fun with it anyway Topics discussed:

| Love or Whatever | 23 May 2023 | 01:35:03 | |
This week, we watched the 2012 rom(?)-com(?) Love Or Whatever, the film that dared to ask the question, "can bi people be trusted?" And that also dares to answer the question, "no. They cannot." Also, it dares to ask the question, "what's Meredith from the Office been up?" And the answer to that question will shock you. Topics discussed:

| Back Soon | 01 May 2023 | 01:33:28 | |
This week, we watched the 2007 Rob Williams (not to be confused with Robin Williams) movie Back Soon. When a straight drug dealer gets a horny dead lady's ghost inside his body, he turns gay for her widower, who turns gay for him too through the power of sleepwalking. It's a very confusing plot, but it's also very boring. Topics discussed:

| Swallowed | 17 Apr 2023 | 01:22:34 | |
This week, we watched the 2022 body horror (or so we were led to believe) movie Swallowed. When a gay guy and his best straight friend get roped into being drug mules, they find out that the condoms full of drugs they swallowed to cross the Canadian border were actually weirdo bug eggs that are hatching inside of them. And then there's an extended fisting scene. Topics discussed:

| I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry | 03 Apr 2023 | 01:35:15 | |
This week, for the podcast's three-year birthday, after threatening to do it for so long, we decided to torture ourselves by watching the Kevin James and Adam Sandler movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. That's right we sat through every minute of this TWO HOUR LONG movie (that's about an hour and a half of fat jokes) so that you don't have to. CONTENT WARNING: This movie uses sexual assault as a punchline a lot, and we discuss the movie doing that. Topics discussed:

| Knock at the Cabin | 20 Mar 2023 | 01:30:52 | |
This week, we watched the very recent M. Night Shyamalan movie Knock At the Cabin. Ostensibly a movie with gay main characters, and we don't want to spoil the twist for you, but it ends up being quite possibly the most offensive movie we've ever seen, both because it's actually offensive and because it's deeply boring, but man does it make plane crashes funny. Topics discussed:

| Eating Out: Drama Camp | 06 Mar 2023 | 01:28:45 | |
This week, we invited our good friends Mike and Kyle back to watch the fourth and most excruciating of the Eating Out movies: Drama Camp. A camp of queer people out in the woods, secret identities, bizarre rules against sex? It sounds like the hit Kevin Bacon movie They/Them, but no, the only thing this movie slashed was our free time. Come join us for the Q. Allan Brocka movie that made us say "you know, now that I think about it, the second one wasn't that bad." Topics discussed:

| Too Much Sun | 13 Feb 2023 | 01:42:25 | |
This week, we watched the 1990 Eric Idle, Andrea Martin, Robert Downey Jr., and Ralph Macchio movie Too Much Sun. After a murdered millionaire's will stipulates that one of his gay children will have to produce a child of their own, they'll have to engage in some wacky farcical adventures to get their inheritance. Will they succeed? Does Eric Idle play gay offensively? Is Robert Downey Jr on coke for the whole movie? Does a gay guy do oral on a woman? Let's find out! Topics discussed:

| Socket | 30 Jan 2023 | 01:19:21 | |
This week, we watched the very strange and David Cronenberg-ian 2007 movie Socket. After he's struck by lightning and develops electricity vampire powers, a doctor joins up with a group of other electricity vampires for a party-and-play metaphor that ends in multiple murders. Does it make sense? Not really. Does it involve some plug and socket-related body horror? You better believe it does. Topics discussed:

| Brooklyn Bizarre | 22 Apr 2024 | 01:13:32 | |
This week, we watched the not-really-a-movie movie Brooklyn Bizarre. It's 80-90% montages of upsetting weirdo burlesque performances, and then there's a completely unexplained murder at the end, but join us as Eric tries to convince us that it actually means something. Topics discussed:

| Dashing in December | 16 Jan 2023 | 01:18:23 | |
This week, we're late in discussing the Hallmark original Christmas movie Dashing in December. It's your standard Hallmark fare, guy from the big city tries to shut down the struggling horse ranch his mom (Andie MacDowell) owns, only to fall in love with her employee. We know, we know, we meant to do it before Christmas, but stuff happened. Topics discussed:

| Kiss Me Deadly | 26 Dec 2022 | 01:41:47 | |
This week, we watched the Shannen Doherty and Robert Gant gay spy thriller Kiss Me Deadly, produced for Here TV. Well, one of us did. The other two watched a straight-washed recut of this movie aired at appearing on other networks, and it takes us a really long time to figure out that we watched basically a different movie. Topics discussed:

| A Wedding Most Strange | 05 Dec 2022 | 01:42:58 | |
This week, we talked for a solid three and a half hours about the 85 minute long movie A Wedding Most Strange, and then Chris painstakingly took out a bunch of weird tangents to cut it down to the length it is now. The movie was so very deeply and maniacally weird that it just broke our brains. Listen along to our descent into madness Topics discussed:

| My Fake Boyfriend | 21 Nov 2022 | 01:30:53 | |
This week, we watched the recent Buzzfeed Productions movie My Fake Boyfriend, an incoherent tale of what happens when you make a fake boyfriend for social media, but afterwards realize you want to be with a handsome chef whose arms are muscular beyond belief. Also, it asks the very important question, is there such a thing as a celebrity stunt man? Topics discussed:

| Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge | 31 Oct 2022 | 01:24:34 | |
It's every gay's favorite holiday, Halloween! So to get into the spooky spirit we watched the not-explicitly-gay-but-oh-so-gay horror movie Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Featuring several naked male butts, a very sexual shower death, and rubber play sheets, this is perhaps the gayest movie we've ever done. Topics discussed:

| They/Them (with Adam Sass) | 10 Oct 2022 | 01:33:00 | |
This week, for Spooky Season we watched the recent LGBTQ+ Kevin Bacon horror movie They/Them, about a killer who's stalking a gay conversion camp. Except, it's barely a horror movie, since the kids are in no danger, and the only people getting slashed are the jerks who run the camp. And because it bares a certain similarity to his book, Surrender Your Sons, we invited Adam Sass to come talk about it with us. Topics discussed:

| At the End of the Day | 19 Sep 2022 | 01:34:48 | |
This week, we watched the 2018 gay christian movie At the End of the Day, about a bigot who learns, through subterfuge and the power of love, to be slightly less bigotted. Featuring inappropriate pranks and even more inappropriate eating, the movie left us with a couple of questions, like "is this even a gay movie?" Topics discussed:

| Ice Blues | 15 Aug 2022 | 01:36:50 | |
This week, we watched the fourth and final (until we get that Kickstarter off the ground) movie in the Donald Strachey mysteries, Ice Blues. The most comprehensible and therefore the least fun of the series, it's also his least gay, but don't worry, we'll still find plenty to talk about, like how much killing a man with his bare hands seems to turn Strachey's husband on. Topics discussed:
This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm | |||
| House of Adam | 01 Aug 2022 | 01:20:41 | |
This week, we watched the 2006 movie House of Adam. Done by the same director as past episode D'Agostino, this movie purports to be a gay ghost story, but the ghost doesn't show up for until the last 5 minutes or so. Instead we get about 40 minutes of corporate intrigue, some straight people who are very game for violating the Geneva Conventions in the name of justice, and an unintentionally hilarious hate crime. Topics discussed:

| Shadowlands | 18 Jul 2022 | 01:18:56 | |
This week, we watched the 2018 movie anthology. No, not that Shadowlands... No, not that Shadowlands either... The other one. The gay one. Okay, well, they made a gay movie called Shadowlands and someone fucks a ghost in it. It's not surprising that you've never heard of it, but I promise you it's real. You can watch it on Tubi if you want, but don't bother, it wasn't good. Anyway, that's the movie we watched this week Topics discussed:

| Departing Seniors | 01 Apr 2024 | 01:31:42 | |
This week we watched the 2023 slasher movie Departing Seniors. When a gay high-schooler is pushed down the stairs by bullies, the blow to his head that almost kills him actually gives him psychic powers, which he can use to see the future. He then uses that power to save his bullies (who, you may remember, just pushed him down the stairs) from a vengeful serial killer, it's unclear why, tbh Topics discussed:
