  Cruising (1980) Revisited! 26.06.2026 2ч 26мин

  Happy Pride to perverts only! Back when I first started this show, I released an episode on William Friedkin's controversial film based on the Mineshaft murders, Cruising. I have gained so much knowledge and experience since 2019! So to celebrate the season, it felt appropriate to revisit this classic piece of leather history. I am joined by Andy Campbell (author of Bound Together) and Morgan Woolsey (who did her PhD on the soundtrack!) We work through our scene by scene analysis of Cruising, injecting history lessons about the leather scene, real life murders, infamous protests, incredible punk soundtrack, and more. This is one of my favorite episodes to date! I love when I get to go really deep and hard in it. It being the joys of cinema, of course. As always, consider signing up at patreon.com/girlsgutsgiallo to support the work.
