It’s Pride Month and Legends Podcast is celebrating all colors of the cinematic rainbow with four films featuring LGBTQIA+ stories. This week, we’re headed to the Land Down Under, where the wind does blow and men dress like sheilas in Stephan Elliott’s 1994 jukebox musical-slash-road comedy film. Starring Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terrence Stamp, this movie was a box office hit, won the Oscar for Best Costume Design (werk!), and became an instant cult classic. It also served as the inspiration for a hit musical… and that musical was Mamma Mia. Just kidding, mates, it’s The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert… crikey! I was just having a laugh. But almost three decades later, is Priscilla still the queen of the screen, or is actually it kind of a drag?

It’s Pride Month and Legends Podcast is celebrating all colors of the cinematic rainbow with four films featuring LGBTQIA+ stories. Next up is Barry Jenkin’s 2016 look at black and queer masculinity throughout three phases of a young man’s life. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, with Mahershalla Ali making history as the first Muslim to win an Oscar (for Best Supporting Actor), but it almost missed its moment to celebrate its Best Picture Award after La La Land was mistakenly announced as the winner. Hold on, we’ve just been handled the correct envelope and can confirm that this week’s movie is Moonlight!

It’s Pride Month and Legends Podcast is celebrating all colors of the cinematic rainbow with four films featuring LGBTQIA+ stories. First up is a lesbian crime caper from 1996 that also happens to be the directorial debut of the Wachowski siblings. Starring Gina Gershon, Jennifer Tilly, and Joe Pantoliano, the film was a critical success and won several festival awards, but it failed to run away with the box office. Nevertheless, the film proved to studio financiers that the Wachowskis could make a movie, and their follow-up was The Matrix. Now it’s time to grab the remote and turn up the volume to figure out what the hell Jennifer Tilly is saying in Bound!

Twenty years ago, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man swung onto the big screen for the first time. A cinematic version of one of Marvel Comics' most prominent heroes had been in development since the '80s, with names like James Cameron attached. Sony ended up with the rights and developed a movie with Darkman director Sam Raimi and Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. Starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, the film was a smash hit, taking in the biggest box office opening of all-time (at that time) and becoming the highest-grossing film of the year. It spawned two sequels and a whole Spider-Verse of future films… and memes. You know, I'm something of a podcaster myself, so let's talk about 2002's Spider-Man.
