Judy is soo gay friendly, she beats Arnold hands down. The conservative establishment was mortified that Judy won the primary.

Great show today. Best of luck in NYC!

Fausto:

Oh boy did you and Ronnie open up to something I'm sure pup Don will be all over; cheesy movies! He is the King of bad movies and has the vid library to prove it! (Trust me, I've been subject to them all!)

That boy is a "Xanadu", "Grey Gardens", "Grease 2" crazed nut!

Just as an FYI, "Grey Gardens" has been transformed into a musical soon to be on Broadway (seriously!).

You did forget another musical classic, "The Apple" which is so leathal you just want to burn your copy of "Xanadu" and "Grease 2"! Pup Don will fill you in on the details.

One of my personal all time favorite classics is "Sunset Boulevard", with Gloria Swanson and John Waters' latest flick, "A Dirty Shame" starring Tracy Ulman and Johnny Knoxville (and some of his classic past stars!).

Thanks for another fun show! And get that ghost of Marc exercised from the couch (stun guns work wonders!)...

Love ya'll,
Your S. Cal kinkster,

Another SHOWGIRLS Drinking Game:

My friends and I will have a Showgirls night once a month or so. We would do a shot everytime someone said "Darlin'" or an Elizabeth Berkley hissy fit.

I was a professional dancer in Vegas for about 5 years and recently moved away. I can tell you first hand, the Vegas scene is really that cut throat. But not as many strippers, although Cheetahs really is the Vegas' Denny's.

Great show, as always... Thanks! -Brando

Almost forgot:

Olivia Newton John was in a movie about 2 years ago, "Sordid Lives" (another good one!) where she plays a honkytonk guitar totin lesbian bar singer! A very funny movie!

I should be working... Have fun in NYC! We'll miss you!

Elijah Wood is SO gay.. he sets my gaydar off.. but he totally denies it. He even went as far as going on Conan and talking about the site devoted to his being gay.. elijahwoodisveryverygay.com or something like that..

Miss Ronnie, it was Lukas Haas in The Lady In White, not Elijah. Lukas is definitely gay.. I've seen him out and about in WeHo.

Did you hear the latest rumor about Jake Gyllenhole coming out of the closet?? His publicist is saying something about a big announcement coming from him about him being Gay and his lover is Austin Nichols. I'll send you the e-mail..

Hey there -- I really enjoyed today's show. These 'loose' unconstructed shows are always my favorite. Just you guys (in this case Ms. Ronnie and Fausto) having a conversation -- no agenda. It's kinda like going out to dinner with some friends...fun banter with people you have things in common with. You both brought up so many things today that hits a cord with me. "Release the Kraken" is my favorite line from Clash of the Titans...I used to say that all the time in college and I would just get confused looks from my friends. That's just one example of why I keep coming back. You guys get it...you understand and appreciate the more obscure and you represent the silent and the ignored. For that I just want to say Thanks!

You guys are going to have such a blast this week in NYC...whish I could be there, but I'm sure there will be lots of 'after the meet n greet' stuff on here next week for all of us that are able to join.

Keep on keepin' on and have a safe trip.

Ms. Ronnie, I'm sorry honey, but "Session 9" was so so bad. My favorite horror movie is "Sleepy Hollow" or "Silence of the Lambs." Christopher Walken and Anthony Hopkins scare the piss out of me in those movies. Also, "Angels in America" changed my life. Check it out, bitches.

Said by: Ben at April 11, 2006 05:42 PM

Great show. Fausto should actually watch Making Love .. It was a Lawyer (the closet case) and a Doctor.

The first Gay movie I saw was in 1976 while I was still in high school. It was called "The Ritz" and was the movie version of the play of the same name. Looking at it today its amazing to see the cast .. F. Murry Abraham as a Flaming Bathouse Queen, Rita Moreno as the bath house lounge singer (googie gomez), Treat Williams as a private detective (young hot and spends the whole movie in a white towel). Kaye Ballard, Jerry Stiller and Jack Weston.

Its the story of a cleveland garbage man who goes to New York to see his wife's dying father. On his deathbed the father (obviously in the mafia) demands his son kill his son-in-law. The son in-law asks a cabbie to take him to the last place in NY they would find him so he ends up at a seddy gay bath called The Ritz. Seemed like the old continental baths to me. I still laugh my butt off about it. I saw it with a bunch of friends in High School in rural souther Ohio and it wasn't a big deal.

I loved Sordid lives too!!! The soundtrack ison my Ipod.

Enjoy New York Guys!!!

Wonderful show today, I do LOVE cheesy flicks! There is one I didn't hear mentioned that's on par with Vally of the Dolls for bad acting, it's called WHORE starring Theresa Russell. It's taped like a documentary and has such fabulous phrases like "we used to screw guys at this chicken place, we used to call it the cluck and fuck." can't miss with dialogue like that. Loved Fausto quoting Showgirls darlin'...

Enjoy New York

Said by: Kathleen at April 12, 2006 05:33 AM

Miss Ronnie, I have to agree with you on Session 9. It was filmed in Danvers State Mental Hospital which is supposed to be haunted for real. There was an episode of the old show MTV Fear was filmed there. I think since I knew the history of the actual place it was filmed it made it creepier. It has Josh Lucas and the young actor you were thinking of is Brenden Sexton III of Welcome to the Dollhouse and JOhn Water's Pecker. His run to safety as the power starts going out is one of the most intense scenes ever put on film.

Said by: Sean at April 12, 2006 09:54 AM

I thought I was the only one who loved Showgirl for it's tackiness and all that it was. Although I've only watched it recently when they aired it at VH1.

Said by: George at April 12, 2006 11:02 AM

Female Trouble was great, but Desperate Living was the best John Waters movie. Panty-sniffing cops, lesbian on-screen castrations (with scissors), the Mortville Queen Edie getting freaky with limp-dicked gay soldiers, and, the best part: Mink Stole as Peggy Gravel, who transforms from crippled, paranoid housewife to an evil Disney witch, always hilariously smug and disdainful even as she is being humiliated. Such a great movie!

Said by: Joshua at April 12, 2006 01:17 PM

OMG, I can't believe you brought up Grey Gardens! That is my favorite movie of all time! You didn't mention that the two women that the documentary is about were actually the aunt and cousin of Jackie O. It's really interesting to see how someone who was brought up under the social norms of high society were left to fend for themselves when they were no longer accepted by that society. And here's a little fun fact for you, Miss Ronnie. Not only did they do a broadway musical, as my buddy Buzz had said, but they are also making a feature film based on the life of Big Edie and Little Edie staring Jessical Lange and Drew Barrymore, respectively.

I've seen Session 9. Yes, it was really scary. There is an old abandoned asylum in Pittsburgh called Dixmont, and my friends and I went up there one night to have a look around. I thought that would be the perfect place for a horror movie, and although Session 9 was not filmed there, that's the feeling this place gave you. So I was really into it. Good choice, Miss Ronnie.

Xanadu is one of my favorite bad movies. And it's Big Band that was mixed in with the bad hard rock song performed by The Tubes. I do think that section was brilliant, though. I know, I'm nuts. The whole idea behind Xanadu was to recreate the big MGM musicals of the 40's and 50's like Singing In The Rain only with a totally modern feel. Sadly, it was done in a decade where class and style were pretty much non-existant, resulting in one of the scariest production numbers ever where legend Gene Kelly is forced to dance his way through a bad Melrose Ave. clothing botique wearing the hight of 80's fashion. Poor guy. Although, I did see a production of Xanadu Live once, where the actors lip synched the songs from the movie, yet acted out the whole script in a very tongue-in-cheek manner, even going so far as to create a not-so-subtle gay subtext to the Michael York and Gene Kelly characters.

If you want to see the absolute hight of bad movies, you need to track down a little film called Skidoo. It's never been released on video or DVD so you'll really need to do some digging to find a bootleg of it, but it stars Carol Channing, Jackie Gleason, and a cast of dozens of big name 50's and 60's movie stars. Most memorable moments are Jackie Gleason tripping on acid, Carol Channing trying to seduce Frankie Avalon, and Groucho Marx (in his last film roll) smoking a joint and declaring that it tastes like "Pumpkin!!!". No, I'm not on drugs and I'm not making this up. And it was directed by Otto Preminger with music by Harry Nilson. I was literally speechless the first time I saw it, that's how bad it is. And you keep telling yourself, "it can't get any worse, it just can't"...and then it does.

Oh, and don't even get me started on Grease 2. The production meeting had to go something like this...

"Let's make a musical sequel to Grease"

"Okay, who should we get to star in it?"

"I dunno, how about a bunch of people who can't sing? Isn't that girl from Fame available, no not Irene Cara, the one who was the worst singer in the movie, right her. I'm sure she's free."

I honestly think that movie was a tax write off. Anyone see The Producers? That explains everything.

Said by: pup don at April 12, 2006 01:47 PM

Oh, one last thing. They are also releasing a new DVD of Grey Gardens complete with tons of extra footage that was left out of the origial movie. I can't wait! ;)

Said by: pup don at April 12, 2006 01:49 PM

I worry that you'll work in an office... have children, celebrate wedding anniversaries. The world of heterosexual is a sick and boring life.

Maybe if I'd seen the extra footage and background of "Session 9" I would've liked it more. It just didn't scare me. Le sigh.

Said by: Ben at April 12, 2006 03:08 PM

Hackers is on of my favorite movies! It made computer geeks sexy & cool. You should check it out!

I can't believe you both forgot about that movie set and filmed in Chicago. Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman,..

Oh Miss Ronnie,, You are SO Fierce!! You had me cackling the whole time - I couldn't believe some of this shit you pulled out. You brought up, The Lady In White ----- I never knew anyone else that saw this movie. I was so young when I saw it, I only remember a scene about a cloak room and that insanely terrorfying song : Did you ever see a ghost walking? . . .well I did." lol, yikes! I am going to read that Shirley Jackson book - it sounds amazing! Thank you Miss Ronnie! xoxox Love from San Francisco.

Hey Fausto and Ms Ronnie (love ya) and I loved this show when you talk about movies - I am a big fan of movies and here are some of my favorites:

Heat
Sunset Boulevard
Europa Europa
Planes Trains and Automobiles

When you talked about Aliens it made me remember the time I went to see that film with friends - we went for a pizza before the show and most of them were all drunk. We had leftover pizza so we left it in the car (this was in the summer) and we went to see the movie. It was horrible in my opinion and when we walked back to the car - the pizza smelled horrible and the one who was still drunk started to grab the pizza and chase people with it and was screaming like the aliens. Memories....

How could you mention Whoopie as a lesbian and not include Boys on the Side? Not only does she play a lesbian in the movie, but there is also a cameo by lesbian rockers the Indigo Girls. It also has one of my favorite soundtracks.

Yeah, I'm a little behind on listening to the podcasts. I tried catching up while I was flying home and back for Easter, but I kept falling asleep. Jet lag... yeah, it was jet lag.
