Go gay all the way with us for a Pride Month salute to a pair of, let’s say, “non-pioneering” homosexual-themed comedies: ZORRO, THE GAY BLADE (1981) and PARTNER (1982). Note: Mike’s audio is a little distorted this ep (fixed for next time).
ZORRO showcases George Hamilton going high el campo as both the titular swordsman and his “swish-buckling” twin brother. PARTNERS teams macho straight cop Ryan O’Neal with tender-hearted gay cop John Hurt in an attempted comedic spin on, of all things, CRUISING (1980).
Plus: The DEATHTRAP Rubik’s Cube debate; Clint Eastwood almost meets Woody Allen; the cocaine-consumed FRIDAYS movie; the hunt for YOUNG LUST; Gene Siskel takes on SENIOR SNATCH; and one co-host estimates he’s 10% gay while his wife places him at “a minimum of 70%.”
