Conrad and Joe are hard at work on the summer cottage as we discuss Mikko Mäkelä's feature debut, A Moment In The Reeds (2017) - our "lesser known" title in this pairing of Internalized Rural Homophobia texts.

Up for discussion: unfair comparisons to God's Own Country (2017), the film's abrupt ending, small scale intimacy, casting queer actors, and why Leevi's issues are shallow compared to Tariq.

Conrad and Joe relaunch The Queer Gaze as a podcast with our first theme: Internalized Rural Homophobia.

For our "Popular" pick, we're revisiting Ang Lee's 2005 adaptation of Brokeback Mountain, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Up for discussion: aggressive make-outs, casting straight actors in gay roles, that iconic score, and the legacy of the film within queer cinema circles.
