New year, new episode! This week, film critic Dave Giannini, co-host of A Podcast Directed By and assistant editor at Talk Film Society joins us to discuss his love of Gus Van Sant's landmark 1991 modern classic MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO. We're in the height (or the lows) of awards season, so it feels fitting to have a working critic to talk the good and bad of film criticism today as he sees it, the importance of being seen as a young bisexual teenager watching Gus Van Sant's fiilm and the issue of queer cinema itself. We also delve into Gus Van Sant's long, messy and wonky career. Other topics include Scorsese, can Scorsese apologize and why Scorsese would make a terrible (or amazing) Real Housewife. A fun, insightful and personal episode about a seminole entry in the queer cinema canon.Be sure to follow Dave on social Twitter @DaveAGianniniAnd check out his podcast A Podcast Directed BySupport the show (https://twitter.com/YouStarteditpod)
