Let’s go ape! This week, Peaches and Michael are questioning every cucumber in celebration of 1975’s THUNDERCRACK! In addition to discussing the undeniable legacy of this arthouse favorite’s unabashedly queer auteurs, our hosts delve into the film’s subversive use of all-manner of unsimulated sex. Joining the conversation is award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Kroot, who shares insight about one of the film’s co-creators, not just as his former student…but his documentarian. Then, acclaimed producer and “original bear” Bobby Barber stops by to talk about how his longtime love of this deeply subversive movie helped him find his community. From gorilla brides to severe eyebrows, this episode has it all! Go!
