9. Party Monster: A Movie Based On a Book Based on a Murder

Murder! Drugs! Murder while on drugs! Life size humanoid rats as a narrative device to avoid a libel lawsuit! Macaulay Culkin! This movie has everything - and everybody - you’ve ever wanted to see committed to film.

We talk about how this already homo/pomo text was adapted into an even more homo/pomo movie, and detail the truly outrageous cast which acts as a who’s who of queer cinema. James St. James: if you are free on Thursday we are also free on Thursday.
