National Anthem - A Queer Cinema Catchup Review
The excellent writer and wonderful friend Hayley Sigmon joins Allison and Joe on this week's Queer Cinema Catchup. Listen as they delve into Luke Gilford's National Anthem. Over the course of the episode, they'll unpack the disconnect between their negative reactions and the critical praise the film has received (9:30; 26:10); the ways in which Luke's own history does and does not make its way into the narrative (22:17); the history of the Gay American Cowboy (35:48); and their invention of a trope to rival the Manic Pixie Dream Girl known as the Shy, Soulful, Tortured Twink (43:55).
