“What’s a Great First Line...Write That Down & Follow It,” Creative Writing & The Queer Female Experience w/ Laury A. Egan

“What’s a Great First Line...Write That Down & Follow It,” Creative Writing & The Queer Female Experience w/ Laury A. Egan

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠ ⁠ Today, Laury A. Egan joins Dr. Andrew Rimby in the ITBR to discuss her creative writing process and how her experience as a queer female writer makes its way into her art. She opens up about her recent novel The Firefly which features a romantic relationship between two young girls in 1964 that explores coming of age themes beyond a typical lesbian romance genre. She explains that one of her writing muses is Virginia Woolf, and Andrew gets into a conversation with her about Mrs. Dalloway and Orlando. Does Laury agree with Woolf, in A Room of One's Own that it takes financial security to be a full-time creative writer? You don't want to miss Laury's advice for creative writers, at any stage of their writing career.

Laury is the author of over 13 books, a fine arts photographer, a former book designer, and a reviewer for the New York Journal of Books. You can find all of her books on her website: https://www.lauryaegan.com/

True Crime in Academia Episode 87: The Death of Mitrice Richardson

Want to listen to this episode AD FREE? Go to patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom to become a subscriber today!


Hey, true crime friends! This week we are discussing the mysterious and tragic death of California State University (Fullerton) alum, Mitrice Richardson. Mitrice recently graduated from the university with a degree in psychology before she went missing in September 2009.  

The way her death and disappearance were handled by police were highly scrutinized by her family, loved ones, and the community. To this day, her cause of death has remained a mystery.  

In this week's News Update, a pedophile teacher is sentenced, congresswoman Lauren Bobert's son has been arrested, and some shocking Bravo news that I want to talk about. 🙂

While Halloween season may be behind us, here's a special Valentine's week treat for you...a gothic Valentine. Dr. Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, an American gothic literature scholar, and James Yeary, a thriller and horror writer, enter the House of Usher with Dr. Andrew Rimby. All three are obsessed with Poe's gothic writing so they discuss whether Mike Flanagan's series does a good job reinventing Poe's tales? Then, Jeffrey provides a historical lesson about gothic literature's origins. Andrew, James, and Jeffrey then provide their honest critiques of the show. And why are fairy tales so closely related to gothic tales?

(ITBR Rewatches) "Daddy Dearest (Sonny Boy)," Queer as Folk, S1E9 w/ TQ Sims

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level!  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠

TQ Sims, an author who loves to center Queer characters in supernormal situations, joins Dr. Andrew Rimby in the ITBR to talk all about Season 1, Ep. 9 of QAF and their new queer book "Godspeed Lovers." When an episode of QAF begins with a vigorous J*RK OFF and CYBER S*X fantasy sequence, you know this is going to be quite a conversation!

TQ opens up about his complicated relationship with his father and how much he related to Brian's complex dynamic with his father. TQ and Andrew explore whether or not queer men have more complex father-son relationships than straight men. Do straight fathers have patriarchal expectations that complicate their relationship with their queer son? TQ says that these relationships often cause trauma that is explored in their new book "Godspeed Lovers." Then, TQ and Andrew delve into Emmett's cyber fantasies and whether the fantasy is sometimes more fulfilling than the real-life experience? Also, why isn't "Queer as Folk" a new Broadway play or musical? TQ and Andrew are ready to write it! Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Daddy Dearest (Sonny Boy)" episode:

Michael decides to break up with Dr. David, who surprises Michael by asking him to move in with him; Lindsay and Melanie ask Brian to relinquish his parental rights to Gus; Emmett becomes addicted to cyber-s*x.

Welcome to the "Let's Be Bad" episode of ITBR Rewatches the iconic "Smash" 2012 American TV show! Hosted by Christian Garcia (Host of That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema). Elizabeth Winder, the writer of "Marilyn in Manhattan," joins us again with her extensive Marilyn Monroe knowledge! The Broadway cast is rehearsing the musical number "Let's Be Bad" which explores the pain and anguish Marilyn went through when filming "Some Like It Hot." Elizabeth explains that this is one of many moments where Marilyn was faced with career difficulties.

Like Marilyn, Elizabeth suffers from insomnia and this is what caused Marilyn to frequently need breaks and have trouble remembering lines. We all provide our artistic interpretation of the choreography in this number since Ivy is being pulled in different directions like a marionette. Then, Elizabeth explains the nuances between Marilyn and Arthur Miller's toxic relationship compared to that of her and Joe DiMaggio. We all express our frustration with Derek who is manipulating both Ivy and Karen for the sake of putting on an incredible show, or is he? And, why do we bring up Britney Spears?

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Let's Be Bad" episode:

Karen puts her talents to use at a government party; Michael and Julia's drama increases; Eileen joins forces with Tom's assistant; Ivy thinks something is amiss in her relationship with Derek.

Is P*rn Feminist? Revisiting the 1980s Anti-P*rn and Sex Wars w/ Dr. Margaret Galvan

Is P*rn Feminist? Revisiting the 1980s Anti-P*rn and Sex Wars w/ Dr. Margaret Galvan

It's 1982 and you're eager to attend the Barnard Conference on Sexuality, in NYC, but when you arrive you're met with a multitude of anti-p*rn feminists picketing the event! This cultural moment ignited the start of what's now referred to as the Feminist Sex Wars. Today in the ITBR, Dr. Margaret Galvan, assistant professor of visual rhetoric in the Dept. of English at the University of Florida revisits the P*RN and SEX debates and explains that those picketing the Barnard event led to the censoring of certain sexual material...sound familiar? I ask Margaret whether we are in a new edition of the Feminist Sex Wars and her answer is quite illuminating...I mean she does teach in Florida! Also, did the anti-p*rn 1980s feminists account for GAY P*RN?

Make sure to grab a copy of Margaret's book "In Visible Archives: Queer and Feminist Visual Culture in the 1980s" (2023) here: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/in-visible-archives

Queer as Folk Meets Reality TV w/ Randomly Ronnie Jr. (Cancel Culture & Controversies)

Queer as Folk Meets Reality TV w/ Randomly Ronnie Jr. (Cancel Culture & Controversies)

Ronnie Jr. from the Randomly Ronnie Jr. show joined me to recap "Queer as Folk" episode eight, but we got into a riveting discussion after Ronnie asked me whether I would support an LGBTQ celebrity even if they put their foot in their mouth (Todrick Hall anyone)? This sparked such a nuanced discussion concerning cancel culture and Reality TV controversies. Why were people surprised about Ramona Singer stepping in it when Eboni K. Williams kept telling us that the call was coming from inside the RHONY house! Is there a possibility that Eboni, Bethenny Frankel, and Leah McSweeney could repair their relationship and unite together...only time will tell. Andrew and Ronnie agree that Eboni should have her own reality show that features fellow intellectuals, like Dr. Wendy Osefo! And how does a shirtless Jax Taylor come up in our conversation?

Ronnie Jr. from the Randomly Ronnie Jr. show (on YouTube) enters the ITBR again to talk all about QAF with Dr. Andrew Rimby! Ronnie opens up about how nervous he was to sit down with Andrew since this series explores such vulnerable topics like coming out and being kicked out by your parents. Because Ronnie is a Reality TV expert, he discusses the similarities and differences between how queer men are portrayed in scripted shows (like QAF, Looking, and Pose) and unscripted shows. When asked what makes a good LGBTQ+ ally, Ronnie explains that supporting the community means showing grace to those still learning. One powerful moment is when Ronnie defines coming out as a lifelong journey of self-acceptance.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the, "Babylon Boomerang" episode:

Justin's father attacks Brian outside Babylon; Michael gets a promotion at work; Justin moves in with Brian.

Behind the Curtain: Broadway's Complicated History with Queerness and Bodies w/ Dr. Ryan Donovan

Behind the Curtain: Broadway's Complicated History with Queerness and Bodies w/ Dr. Ryan Donovan

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠ Dr. Ryan Donovan, Assistant Professor of Theater Studies at Duke University, enters the ITBR to discuss Broadway's complicated history with LGBTQ+ representation and different sized bodies. Right away they both gush over their mutual love for Betty Buckley and talk about Nicole Scherzinger's performance as Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard." Then, Ryan explains how he became a professional dancer and then decided to transition from his NYC performance career to enrolling in the CUNY Graduate Center's PhD in Theater program.

Ryan is extremely transparent about the difficulty of securing a Humanities faculty position at a university, and he provides advice as well as discussing with Andrew other career avenues for PhD grads. Interestingly, being an academic and a performer are very similar! Ryan provides a critique of how Broadway has privileged certain bodies over others, and he turns to "A Chorus Line," "Hairspray," and "Dreamgirls" for his argument. Then, Andrew asks Ryan why so many straight men have played queer male roles on Broadway, and why there's still a lack of nuanced queer Broadway narratives. Like Dr. Stacy Wolf, David Armstrong, and Jesse Green's episodes, Ryan takes us backstage to look at new approaches to understand Broadway's history with the LGBTQ+ community.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $10 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠

Scholar, Professor, and Rhetorician, Dr. Travis A. Rountree enters the ITBR to discuss episode 7, "Smells Like Codependence" of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show! On this episode Travis shares his fondness for the characters and says, “I felt like they were my friends." Later, Andrew and Travis discuss Brian and Michael’s codependence as “trauma bonding” since each experienced difficult pasts that come to light later in the series. Finally, Andrew and Travis discuss the broad spectrum of queer male experiences since this episode includes the inclusion of the closeted gay man, the innocent gay man, and the asshole gay man.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the, "Smells Like Codependence" episode:

Debbie meets Dr. David; Michael and Dr. David spend a weekend in the country; Justin's father learns the truth and decides to send Justin away to school; Brian's emotional hold on Michael and dislike for Dr. David intensifies.

What Happens When You Come Out as a Lesbian Later in Life..."Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife" w/ Melissa Giberson

What Happens When You Come Out as a Lesbian Later in Life..."Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife" w/ Melissa Giberson

Author, Occupational Therapist and Proud Late Bloomer, Melissa Giberson, enters the ITBR to discuss her latest novel "Late Bloomer: Finding My Authentic Self at Midlife” where she narrates her own coming out story which starts with a woman who she can't stop thinking about. However, she is married with children and realizes that in order to live her authentic self, she needs to come clean to her husband and kids. On this episode of ITBR, Melissa battles the preconceived notion that she was “born this way” by speaking of a fluidity that enables us to come out “in our own way at our own time”. Melissa warns us that we ought to be aware of those who are threatening the queer community and says we should “live our truest lives but also be aware of the world that we do live in." Finally, Andrew and Melissa share their thoughts on having patience with closeted people and agree that “it’s not on us to force someone to come out" but it's important to be a safe space for them.

Exploring Queer Youth in Literature: Conversion Therapy, Family Ab*se, and Homelessness w/ Lucian Childs (author of "Dreaming Home")

Exploring Queer Youth in Literature: Conversion Therapy, Family Ab*se, and Homelessness w/ Lucian Childs (author of "Dreaming Home")

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠

Fiction writer, Lucian Childs enters the ITBR to discuss his new novel “Dreaming Home” where he addresses topics of Conversion Therapy, Family Abuse, and Queer Youth Homelessness by tracing the 40-year history of one Texas family. On this episode, Lucian cites his research on Conversion Therapy and says "42 billion youth are homeless annually and 40% of those identify as LGBTQ+” highlighting a problem where many Americans do not support queer culture, and queer youth find it difficult to receive acceptance in their homes. Lucian and Andrew discuss the difficulties the Democratic party face in having to promote queer friendly laws while also warding off Republican hate speech.  Finally, Lucian opens up about the public response to his novel and says “readers that I talk to like the fact they have to fill in the blanks between the stories themselves” displaying the fluidity of the novel and its characters and how they can seemingly merge together.

Welcome to the "The Cost of Art" episode of ITBR Rewatches the iconic "Smash" 2012 American TV show! Hosted by Christian Garcia (Host of That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema). American author and poet, Elizabeth Winder enters the ITBR to provide insight on the life of Marilyn Monroe and how Marilyn would’ve felt seeing a Broadway musical about her life. In this episode of ITBR, Christian talks about the humor between the ensemble and how they help one another despite all of the drama surrounding the Marilyn musical. Then, Elizabeth argues that Marilyn "was made for stage acting” and imagines what it would’ve been like if Marilyn left Hollywood to become a stage actor. Finally, Elizabeth discusses Marilyn’s struggles as an actor having to social climb in a male dominated industry. You don't want to miss this group's thoughts on Nick Jonas' guest appearance and the song "I Never Met a Wolf Who Didn't Love to Howl" which explores Marilyn's encounters with the wolves (predatory men) of Hollywood! Join us and Elizabeth again for episode five, “Let’s Be Bad"!

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "The Cost of Art" episode:

When Derek hosts a party for young teen star Lyle West, Eileen seizes the opportunity to try a new strategy for raising funds. Karen learns how to increase her chances of success in the high-stakes world of Broadway and Tom goes on a special first date.

Unleashing Pleasure and Public Sex in France from the Enlightenment to the 20th Century w/ Dr. Andrew Israel Ross (a Historian of French Sexuality)

Unleashing Pleasure and Public Sex in France from the Enlightenment to the 20th Century w/ Dr. Andrew Israel Ross (a Historian of French Sexuality)

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠

Dr. Andrew Israel Ross, a historian specializing in European history and the history of sexuality enters the ITBR to discuss his first book “Public City/Public Sex: Homosexuality, Prostitution, and Urban Culture in Nineteenth-Century Paris” where he details the vast modernization efforts in Paris during the enlightenment era that opened the door for a rising gay and lesbian subculture as well as opportunities for women who sold sex and men who sought sex with other men. Dr. Ross opens up about our impulse to find ourselves in the past but emphasizes that understanding historical context can be just as useful. Dr. Ross details the Marquis de Sade’s salacious material that helped spread outrageous rumors about Marie Antoinette during her reign.

Finally, Dr. Ross links the connection between “19th century queer life” and “the life of working-class women” and wonders if a less constrained sexual politics could arise. Dr. Ross and Andrew discuss the roles of various French historical figures such as: Voltaire, Diderot, the Marquis de Sade, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon, Victor Hugo, Gaston Leroux, Andre Gide, Marcel Proust, Colette, and Jean Genet in this episode and how they’ve all helped shaped French history and literature in interesting ways.

Award-winning writer, Scott Alexander Hess enters the ITBR to promote his new novella, “A Season in Delhi” and to discuss episode 6, " The Art of Desperation,” of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show! Scott and Andrew discuss Brian’s attractiveness in the QAF world and compare him to Oscar Wilde’s “Dorian Gray” because just like Lord Henry, the QAF characters dictate that Brian is the most attractive and seductive gay man in their group. Furthermore, Scott shares his frustration with Ted’s insecurity towards Roger and argues in a long-term relationship “you love more and more and more just the person like their heart and soul…” allowing one to look past their partner's quirks and shortcomings. Finally, Scott opens up about how queer culture has moved away from the club scene into different avenues.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the, "The Art of Desperation” episode:

Michael's new chiropractor boyfriend gets into a tug of war with Brian over Michael, as Ted recovers from his O.D. by dating Roger, a stable but overweight chorus director. Also, Justin meets Lindsay, who is impressed with his artwork.

During this episode of the ITBR Rasheed and Andrew discuss what it’s like to start out as a writer and producer in LA and both offer key advice for anybody trying to climb up the social ranks in their respective career. Later, Rasheed shares his thoughts on the backlash faced by queer people during the HIV/AIDS epidemic and says, “I do not judge human beings for acting like human beings” as a means for defending people’s natural born right to commingle and engage in free sexual activity.

Editor-in-Chief and Founder of the G&LR, Richard Schneider Jr. enters the ITBR to discuss the 30 year anniversary of the G&LR. Richard founded The Harvard Gay & Lesbian Review in 1994 and dropped the Harvard affiliation in the early 2000s and has remained its editor-in-chief ever since. Andrew and Richard discuss a change occurring in media as viewers move away from sitcom and scripted shows more towards reality TV. Richard also discusses a novel named “Ink from the Pen” by Mark Olmsted who becomes stuck in the LA county prison system and finds various unfair social and ethnic structures within the prison system allowing for some to hold positions of privilege over others. Finally, Richard discusses some of their recent reviews about Queer representation in video games, comic books, and dating apps like Grindr. Subscribe to the G&LR to receive their upcoming anniversary edition book titled “Outer Appearances,” set to release in January 2024 and will be a commemorative book of illustrations.

Actor, singer, model, and host of various podcasts such as "Words of the Witches" and "Solving for X," Kevin Gadzalinski, enters the ITBR to discuss episode 5: "Now Approaching...The Line,” of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show!

Kevin and Andrew discuss viewing QAF through a bisexual lens, and Kevin explains his personal journey as a bi man, especially watching a show that focuses exclusively on gay male representation. He explains that having more bi male representation in the show would amplify queer male voices! Kevin and Andrew discuss male sexuality in the theater world and whether or not being a queer male actor plays a role in which parts you receive? Finally, Kevin and Andrew discuss the competitiveness within queer and straight women friend groups and Andrew asks, “do you feel that straight men have to deal with negotiating all of these obstacles with their male friends”?

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Now Approaching...The Line” episode:

Michael fends off the romantic interest of a female coworker who doesn't know he's gay and instead dates a handsome chiropractor, while Brian is propositioned by a potentially lucrative client of his firm. Meanwhile, Justin struggles to repair his fractured relationship with his mother Jennifer.

Writer of “Parachute Women," Elizabeth Winder joins the Ivory Tower Boiler Room to discuss the behind-the-scenes true story of the four women (Marianne Faithfull, Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger and Anita Pallenberg) who helped shape and curate the image of The Rolling Stones. Andrew and Elizabeth discuss the dichotomy between female and male Rockstars and how the women focus more on finding their voice and individuality as opposed to celebrating the Rockstar lifestyle. Andrew and Elizabeth also discuss the rebellious nature of rock and roll and how they sometimes go against society and the status quo. Finally, Elizabeth traces the history of fashion in her book “Parachute Women” and says, “it doesn’t move like that now and I don’t think it ever will again” depicting the several changes that were blooming in the 60s as a result of the counterculture movement.

Learning about Native American Heritage Day and "Killers of the Flower Moon" with My Parents

Learning about Native American Heritage Day and "Killers of the Flower Moon" with My Parents

Welcome to a very special day after Thanksgiving episode with my very own parents. First, I get my parents' honest reactions to Uncle Giuseppe's Pignoli cookies, and then give them adorable gifts from The SoapBox NY (both in Port Jefferson, NY).

Then, we talk about the importance of amplifying Native American voices and provide the background of how Native American Heritage Day came to be (and even the controversy surrounding it). As a white family, we talk about how "Killers of the Flower Moon" is essential viewing to learn about the Osage community and their culture/values and how they were manipulated and abused by white settlers.

After recording, my mom kept repeating "can we have a do over because I'm worried that there's going to be a strong backlash." I assured her that speaking truth to power when it comes to the Native American genocide that we see play out in "Killers of the Flower Moon" is not a fantasy but a reality. At the end of the episode my father emphatically states "What's wrong with history and facts" if it makes you uncomfortable "Deal With It"!

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠

Dr. Shannon Dea, a Professor of Philosophy at University of Waterloo, enters the ITBR to discuss her new book "Beyond the Binary: Thinking about Sex and Gender" which focuses on questions about Gender and Sexuality and attempts to lessen misconceptions about trans, indigenous, racialized and subaltern communities. Shannon and Andrew discuss a growing cosmopolitan community in urban areas as new groups of people come together to form larger more diverse communities. Shannon and Andrew also discuss self-censoring in academia and creating a space for “pedagogical judgement” where an academic might choose to stay silent in order to allow another group to speak for their own experiences.  Finally, Shannon flips the table on Andrew and asks him “Do you actually think the public would enjoy traditional academic conference talks or do you think that academic conference talks should change in order to make them digestible by the public”?

Finally, Mary reveals a secret connection to a relative who was well acquainted with Joe DiMaggio and reveals his inner feelings for Marilyn.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Enter Mr. DiMaggio" episode:

While Karen returns to Iowa to make an important decision about the future, the favorite for the role of Joe DiMaggio—Michael Swift —is discovered to be holding a secret and Eileen suspects her soon-to-be-ex-husband is sabotaging the musical by turning potential investors away.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $10 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠

Queer writer and Mariner, Joe Nasta, enters the ITBR to discuss episode 4: “Ted’s not Dead,” of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show!

Joe and Andrew discuss the real-world vs imaginary aspect of the Queer as Folk universe from Ted’s coma state to Michael sleeping with a guy with beach parasites.

Joe states the difference between longing and yearning as “longing doesn’t have to hurt; yearning is when it hurts” adding nuance to Justin’s definition of yearning “it’s when you want something so bad it hurts” highlighting Justin’s infatuation for both Brian and Chris and his desire to seek more from their relationships.  

Finally, Brian faces a pivotal decision as Ted’s will forces him to decide whether to pull the plug on Ted's life.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "Ted’s not Dead," episode:

While Ted lies in a drug-induced coma, Brian learns he's named the executor of his friend's living will. Also, Justin's mother suspects the truth about her son's sexuality and Michael and Emmett try to remove incriminating evidence from Ted's apartment but discover Ted's longtime crush on Michael.

Watch/Listen ad-free to our Real Housewives discussion for only $5 a month! ⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom ⁠

For part two of this Real Housewives conversation, Andrew, Mary and Lenzi share their thoughts on Mary Cosby’s mental health and whether Bravo is exploiting her health for ratings! Andrew and Mary roleplay as Brooks and Meredith and talk about all of the RUMORS and NASTINESS going on in Salt Lake City. Why does Andrew thinks the RHOSLC are just like an SNL cast? Andrew, Mary, and Lenzi discuss Angie Harrington and how her role was too “clean cut” for the producers.

Then, all three deliver their hot takes on Orange County and whether the new cast members shook things up. Andrew describes his crush on Jennifer Pedranti’s husband Ryan and definitely wants to get his hands on that bedazzled jacket. Andrew wonders if the new housewives will ever adopt open relationships or stick to the monogamy construction.   

Stay tuned for future ITBR Real Housewives episodes where we invite Lenzi back to discuss BravoCon and more Housewives premieres!

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $10 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠

Welcome to "The Callback" episode of ITBR Rewatches the iconic "Smash" 2012 American TV show! Hosted by Christian Garcia (Host of That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema)

Christian and Andrew discuss the similarities between the drama that both Karen and Ivy face in the show as compared to Marilyn Monroe’s real-life drama like the sacrifices she made for her work and battling off sexual advances from men in the Hollywood industry. Andrew also reads from Marilyn Monroe’s posthumous autobiography, “My Story” and reads: “One day a grand piano arrived at my home, it was out of condition, my mother had bought it second hand, it was for me… years later when I was beginning to earn some money from modeling I started looking for the Frederic March piano, after about a year I found it at an old auction room and bought it” depicting Marilyn’s attachment to gifts from her mother and in spite of reaching various forms of fame and success she could not forget the time she spent with her mother.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "The Callback” episode:

As Ivy and Karen both attempt to please Derek in order to win the role of Marilyn, Julia and her husband Frank become frustrated by the process of their international adoption and Eileen's acrimonious divorce complicates her attempt to finance the musical.

Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon for only $5 a month! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom

Social Media Marketing Maven, Celebrity/Content Liaison and founder of Anchors to Dusk Publishing, Joseph A. Federico, enters the ITBR to discuss queer elements in the third season of the American horror anthology television series “American Horror Story: Coven," and the drama series “Interview with the Vampire” based on the novel series “The Vampire Chronicles” by Anne Rice. Joseph and Andrew discuss the significance of the Coven House located in the Garden District of New Orleans, Louisiana which attracts many horror fans who dress up like witches to re-enact scenes from the show.   

Andrew asks, “why do you think it is so important that women are the center of the witch narrative rather than bring in men as witches”? Joseph argues that “Coven” does call on men to “come out” of the “shadows," specifically queer men.

Finally, Joseph and Andrew discuss that Lestat and Louis are not only seen as controversial for their erotic desire but also for being same-sex parents to Claudia. Joseph explains that what makes "Interview with the Vampire" so intriguing is how it's not only a horror novel but one that comments on society's homophobic attitude by centering on queer male vampires.

Our very own sponsor Jenine Cucchi (from The SoapBox NY) enters the ITBR to help us discuss Demonic Possession in The Conjuring and Exorcist Universe from “The Nun 2” and “The Exorcist: Believer."

Andrew, Mary, and Jenine begin by questioning the wave of Demonic Possession sweeping various parts of Europe in "The Nun 2" and compare this to the wave of witchcraft hysteria that swept much of the world during the 16th and 17th century.

Andrew wonders about the significance of eyes being gouged out in both films and asks, “the devil really wants to take away your sight, what’s the metaphor behind this”? Mary hints towards the expression “seeing is believing."

Finally, Mary questions the religious significance in “The Exorcist: Believer” and the writer’s decision to allow baptized children to live while sacrificing the non-baptized.

Stay tuned for future gothic episodes like a possible “Poltergeist” episode!
