It Pod to Be You: Episode 79 - My Beautiful Laundrette

It Pod to Be You: Episode 79 - My Beautiful Laundrette

The TFS Staff
It Pod to Be You

Hello, romantics! Your host Manish (@vertigay314) begins a new miniseries on Queer Romance: queer movies, queer guests! First up is Erik Anderson (@awards_watch) with Stephen Frears' 1985 My Beautiful Laundrette. Both a tender, steamy queer romance and a biting look at Thatcher-era England, the film is quite transgressive and radical for its time. Starring a young Daniel Day-Lewis and Gordon Warnecke, the discussion goes into the look of the film, the performances, and how it compares to queer movies today!
