Summary
Vanessa Zoltan and Hannah McGregor meet-up in moody mountains to record this week’s episode of Hot and Bothered, all about Brokeback Mountain.
This week we discuss the underlying threat of violence in this movie, the western genre, and the impact of casting heterosexual stars as gay men. We finish the episode by calling Guy Foster to talk about gay romance written by women.
If we give you butterflies, consider supporting us on Patreon! We're currently running a campaign to try to reach 100 new paid patrons by the end of September. If we hit our goal, all patrons will get to attend a special virtual live-recording with Vanessa and Hannah.
