Welcome. You’re listening to Reel Charlie Speaks, an LGBTQ podcast spin-off of the film and television review blog, Reel Charlie looking at movies and TV from a gay male perspective since 2009.
I'm your host, Philip Bahr. Each month I select a classic queer film, television series, or creator. I talk about how the subject spoke to me when I first discovered it years ago, and how its stood the test of time. Major spoiler alerts in this episode.
In episode 20 I explore The Birdcage.
Read The Birdcage review on Reel Charlie.
Learn about Reel Charlie creator Philip Bahr.
The Birdcage (1996) currently streams (as of January 2024) on various streaming platforms for a rental fee, or get it on disk from your local public library.
Special thanks to my podcast mentor, Brad Shreve for suggesting I do a big Hollywood film. This one's dedicated to you!
I refer the The Birdcage as Birdcage throughout the episode.
