Moody Movie Club

Moody Movies: Sunset Boulevard (1950), What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962), Cabaret (1972), and Paris Is Burning (1990)Welcome to The Rad Wrap: a series on series, where Kylie (not a doctor) and Elliott (not a doctor) explore films with a common thread. In this episode, they are joined by K.D. Burton (a doctor), a professor of history, to discuss their curated series: Queering The Culture. Along the way, the three think about what it means to survive (and how different doctors help us do it), consider just what exactly "camp" is, celebrate post-Hays Code queer revelry, and insist that it isn't enough to celebrate if you're not also fighting for community.
