Welcome back to another vibrant episode of "That 'Ol Gay Classic Cinema"!
This week, Luke and I continue our celebration of the incomparable Tim Curry with an in-depth review of the cult classic “Clue.” We are thrilled to be joined by the brilliant minds behind “Ivory Tower Boiler Room,” Andrew Rimby and Lawrence Castillo, for this special conversation.
Together, we dive into the rich tapestry of queer elements that make “Clue” such a joy to revisit time and again. From its razor-sharp wit and camp sensibilities to the unforgettable performances that have cemented it as a cinematic treasure, we explore how each rewatch reveals new layers of queer-coded brilliance. We also examine the ways in which this beloved film has stood the test of time, maintaining its charm and relevance nearly 40 years after its release.
And of course, no discussion of “Clue” would be complete without sharing and relishing some of our favorite quotes and scenes—moments that continue to make us laugh, gasp, and revel in the sheer theatricality of it all. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to a film, a cast, and a legacy that remain as captivating as ever.
