Just think of AIDS as the guest that won't leave, the one we all hate. But you have to remember: Hey! It's still our party. ---Bryan Batt/Jeffrey
309 - Jeffrey (Patreon Selects)
We're back again with another episode chosen by one of our sponsor-tier subscribers from Patreon, this time with a bit of 1990s gay cinema! Thank you Lance for bringing us all to 1995's Jeffrey! Adapted from Paul Rudnick's Off-Broadway smash play, the concept of an "AIDS comedy" made it difficult to get produced, but ultimately unique once it reached theatre audiences. Despite playing to a limited audience on film and taking a broad comedic approach to the culture surrounding gay life in the 1990s, Patrick Stewart's performance as an interior designer diagnosed with AIDS earned some bit of buzz.
This episode, we talk about the career of Paul Rudnick and the types of gay cinema that emerged in this moment of American independent filmmaking. We also talk about Stewart's surprising lack of awards history, Bryan Batt's performance as Stewart's lover, and Christine Baranski hosting a "hoedown for AIDS."
Topics also include TikTok smash videos, "start my orange for me," and Debra Monk talking gay stuff.

Darlin'
Fans of Pollyanna McIntosh’s performances on VIKINGS and the WALKING DEAD series will not be disappointed by her debut as a writer-director, DARLIN’ (2019, Shudder). The third part of a trilogy (starting with 2009’s OFFSPRING and 2011’s THE WOMAN), it features her return as the feral, cannibalistic Woman. Here the focus is on her adopted daughter, Darlin’ (Lauryn Canny), whom she leads to a hospital at the film’s start. There the girl bonds with a gay nurse (Cooper Andrews) before she’s sent to a Catholic orphanage to learn to speak, worship God and hate herself. The film has a big mad on against the Catholic church as a site of patriarchal power. The church’s hospital is a little dictatorship, and Anderson mentions that he and his partner were turned down for adoption by the orphanage. It’s almost a cliché that the bishop (Bryan Batt) sexually abuses the girls in his charge. But the various women Canny encounters — her fellow students and the nun (Nora-Jane Noone) charged with getting her to speak — bond with and support her. That parallels Woman’s experience when she’s taken in by a group of homeless women. McIntosh directs well. The film moves along nicely and though the violence is well-staged, she keeps the focus on character. The scenes in which Canny develops a friendship with the school’s troublemaker, Billy (Maddie Nichols), are particularly touching, with just a hint that Billy is a baby lesbian. There’s also a very funny performance by Eugenie Bondurant as Mona, the slightly addled den mother of the homeless women. The rest are also strong, and Batt gets points for not overplaying his villainous role. McIntosh is simply a wonder. She completely inhabits the soul of this feral woman, making her as sympathetic as she is frightening. Her brief scenes as a member of the all-female homeless commune are a lovely grace note, setting off the film’s feminist themes without pounding the audience over the head.
