Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
<p>The gang totally wouldn't rob a bank for the record (in Call of Duty). Ghost Kino layabouts get together for another film that's, as the kids might say, "gay af," talking about Sidney Lemet's 1975 dramedy Dog Day Afternoon, which as an electric performance by Al Pacino and other stage-trained actors. Our discussion veered into queerness's inherently political dimensions, how Wojtowicz really was the antihero of the early 70s, and more. Enjoy! </p><p>Follow the show on Instagram for more updates: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ghostkinopodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/ghostkinopodcast/</a></p>

Totally Fucked Up (1993)
<p>“All the things the homos like, I hate” can be etched on each our tombstones. The Ghost Kino Institute for Gays Who Can’t Do Film Analysis Good (And Want to Learn How to Do Other Stuff Good Too) go in on Greg Araki’s seminal 93 flick Totally Fucked Up, a representation of queer youth in 90s LA that — shockingly — has a class angle to it? (Who would’ve thought the queers also have to pay their rent what a concept). Along the way we’ll talk about how non-gay-best-friend qualities are cast aside by str*ghts, the Modernist outlook in the wake of the AIDS crisis that informed this film, and the importance of chosen family (Astro and Eire if you read this episode description I include to two of y’all in that designation btw love you both). </p><p>Follow the show on Instagram for more updates: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ghostkinopodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/ghostkinopodcast/</a></p>

The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1973)
<p>If you can’t beat em, join em (and then beat em). The Ghost Kino Gang discusses the 1973 flick “The Spook Who Sat by the Door,” an excellent, rad as heck movie about an ex-CIA asset who trains Black freedom fighters in Chicago to uproot and dismantle the state through militant organizing. Discussions veer heavily into how this film is (unfortunately) still as relevant today as it was nearly 50 years ago, parallels between the fictional orgs in this flick and IRL, and the sacrifices necessary to build a better world. </p><p>Follow the show on Instagram for more updates: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ghostkinopodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/ghostkinopodcast/</a></p>
