Episode 159 Brokeback Mountain
Because this is a movie podcast hosted by two gay men, we are contractually obligated to cover Brokeback Mountain (2005) at some point. So, here it is! Directed by the superb Ang Lee and starring a cadre of hungry, talented youths, this sensual yet melancholy odyssey depicts a homosexual romance during a time and place where physical and emotional expressions between two men were met with scorn and violence. And even though the sex scene, (yes THAT sex scene) doesn’t pass muster, the rest of the movie is like the brand of canned beans our protagonists prefer: Better Most. Join us for some audio engineer lingo, a wheel within a wheel, and a bunch of “friendly” conversation, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
