Micro Queers: We Are Still Here (2015)
We're celebrating the 10th anniversary of queer director Ted Geoghegan's feature debut, We Are Still Here (2015).This is a quiet indie film with some serious star power (Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden, Monte Markham, and Lisa Marie?!), as well as great FX. But a decade later, it's the quiet depiction of grief that we appreciate a great deal more.Questions? Comments? Snark?

Deliverance (1972)
Prep your canoes and don't anger the locals because we're discussing John Boorman's (in)famous 1972 thriller Deliverance and all the baggage that comes with it.Join us as we take a look at a film whose reputation precedes it, from its male rape scene to its portrayal of rural mountain folk. There's plenty to unpack here!Plus: Burt Reynolds' lamb bone, squealing pigs, raping landscapes, and the poignancy of watching a grown man weep.Reference: Isabel Machado. “Revisiting Deliverance: The Sunbelt South, the 1970s Masculinity Crisis, and The Emergence of the Redneck Nightmare Genre.” Center for the Study of Southern CultureQuestions?
