Hello there!
Time once again for the monthly feedback video, a series that is free to everyone on Patreon and that started as a way for me to respond to questions ... and has now sort of morphed into trading recommendations for great stuff to watch.
So! If you like the kind of things that I make, here's stuff recommended by other folks like you, which you may also enjoy. Thanks to everyone who sent me recommendations, and please keep them coming!
Here's the things I talk about this month, and places to find them online:
- Male impersonators Hetty King and Vesta Tilley - there's a great writeup about them here
- The L-Shaped Room doesn't appear to be streaming legally, but someone uploaded the first bit to DailyMotion and there are DVDs floating around online
- 1935 drag film First a Girl is on YouTube
- two-season musical series Eli Stone is streaming on Amazon and Hulu and those kind of sites
- Viva Loughlin is harder to find but the pilot is on YouTube. I'm not quite recommending this, but it's an interesting artifact! Viva Blackpool is better and it's streaming free on Roku.
- Entertaining Mr. Sloane is available through BFI Player Classics and Something For Everyone is on YouTube is a surprisingly crisp transfer.
- Sitcom, the French film with lots of chaotic queerness, is also on BFI Player Classics. Come on, it was 1998! That's not old enough to be classic!
