So this week on Out Takes, we celebrated the exhibition by queer reading the wonderful world of Disney.

Our guests were Disney: the Magic of Animation curator, Fiona Trigg, and Eleanor Byrne, who amongst her many works published Deconstructing Disney some 20 years ago. Deconstructing Disney paves new ways of queer reading some of the most iconic Disney films.

This week on Out Takes, we’re not talking about our sex lives but we did turn our attention to some of the best new short format fare that has graced our TV screens over the past 12 months, including Ryan Murphey’s ‘Ratched’, the incredible Spanish short series ‘Veneno’, the coming of age sci-fi tale ‘I am Not Okay With This’ and more. These are TV series that push the boundaries of queer representation; series that depict nuanced and diverse LGBTIQ stories. We share why they stood out for us from the hours of television we watched during COVID times and why we highly recommend you check them out too.

We chatted with producer Lucinda Horrocks about how this piece of queer history came to be and the story behind the individuals who were there when it all started.

It’s that time of year again! JOY 94.9 is Australia’s premiere LGBTI radio station and it needs your help. So this week on Out Takes, we’re celebrating RADIOTHON – JOY’s annual supporter drive – and the importance of keeping independent programs like OUT TAKES on the air.
This year’s RADIOTHON theme is We Are You, so we’re bringing the Out Takes family together for a very special Out Takes look at why LGBTI representation in film is so important and why seeing ourselves on the big screen matters.

We’re looking back at a number of exclusive Out Takes interviews that have highlighted the importance of queer representation, including chats with Academy Award winning director Barry Jenkins, bi-icon Desiree Akihvan and academic Ruby Rich, who coined the phrase New Queer Cinema some thirty years ago. These are Out Takes exclusives that demonstrate just how important independent voices can be.

There’s a fine line between emotional desolation, obsession and paranoia in UNDERTOW, which tells the story of a grieving woman who channels her pain over the loss of her unborn child into a fixation with a pregnant teenager.
We also crossed to Sydney to speak with Out Takes co host Daniel, who was there for the Mardi Gras Film Festival. They chatted with him about the Festival and some of the fresh cinematic fare on offer.

So, as a counterpoint, we also celebrated the theatrical release of Jay Roache’s ‘Bombshell’, the highly anticipated film looking at the accounts of several women at Fox News who set out to expose CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment.

To mark the occasion, we took a look back at our last four years as the home of queer cinema on JOY 94.9

When we first went to air some four years ago, we set out to bring the filmic landscape on the other side of the rainbow to JOY. Since then, we’ve donned ruby slippers with Judy and ballet shoes with Billy; we’ve been over the rainbow and star-crossed a few times; we’ve celebrated winter in Westbeth and burned in Paris; we’ve been to Arendelle and Oz and galaxies far away; we’ve gone looking for fantastic beasts and Cinderella’s missing glass slipper; we’ve travelled to Hollywood and gone globe trotting around the world: we’ve looked at national cinemas in France, Germany, Israel, Taiwan, Finland, Poland and a bunch of other places; we’ve spent the weekend with Haigh and been disobedient with Lelio and basked in the moonlight with Barry.
But to celebrate our 200th episode, we came full circle. In our first episode, now four years ago, we were joined by academic Ruby Rich, who coined the term “New Queer Cinema” in a now seminal paper for Sight and Sound. This week, as we take stock of our past four years on air, and the very many films that we’ve looked at, we were joined by Ruby Rich once again to speak about about the on going importance of queer cinema and how far it has come in the last four years.

Now, FROZEN 2 is screening in cinemas around the world, and has already grossed over $738 million dollars internationally.... LEARN MORE Disney’s FROZEN franchise is a certified box office success. But its also represents a watershed moment in Disney’s cultural and representational legacy. In fact, when FROZEN first hit cinemas, the internet was atwitter with conspiracies that Elsa might be gay. Six years later, Elsa’s sexuality is still unconfirmed. But there can be very little doubt: FROZEN 2 is a very queer film.
So for this Out Takes program, we journeyed deep into the heart of Arendelle and the Wonderful World of Disney to celebrate the theatrical release of Disney’s FROZEN 2. Our guest was Dr Eleanor Byrne, whose seminal thesis “Deconstructing Disney” explores the latent queer potential of Disney classics like SNOW WHITE, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and now the FROZEN franchise. We spoke with Byrne about the way that gender and sexuality function in Disney films, and their potential for queer interpretation.

First up we looked at ‘Brittany Runs A Marathon’, the new feature film from gay writer and director Paul Downs Colaizzo that caused a bidding war at this year’s Sundance Film Festival with Amazon Studios acquiring worldwide distribution rights to the film for $14 million dollars. Based on a true story, the film follows Brittany Forgler, a hilarious hot mess of a New Yorker who always knows how to have a good time, but at 27, her late-night adventures are starting to catch up to her. She takes the first step in changing her life by actually taking a run around the block and that’s where the story gets interesting. Our special guests on the show were the star of the film, Jillian Bell, and Paul Downs Colaizzo (pictured with Out Takes presenter Conrad) who took us behind the scenes of this funny, frank and insightful film which is in cinemas now.
We also took a look at ‘The Ice King’ a searing documentary about John Curry, a lost cultural icon in a fascinating story of art, sport, sexuality, and rebellion. It includes incredible unseen footage of some of his most remarkable performances and with access to Curry’s letters, archive interviews, and interviews with his family, friends and collaborators, this is a portrait of the man who turned ice-skating from a dated sport into an exalted art form. The Ice King is an exclusive release on DocPlay, a new streaming service featuring award winning and exclusive documentaries from around the globe.
Special thanks to Alicia and Cathy at ABCG Film for the opportunity to interview Jillian Bell and Paul Downs Colaizzo, and for their ongoing support of Out Takes.

These are just some of the questions that SMOKESCREEN, a panel initiative hosted by the Melbourne Queer Film Festival in conjunction with Quit Victoria, seeked to address. SMOKE SCREEN was held on 20th March 2019 and explored the links between queer art, film and culture, and our health and human rights. So to coincide with SMOKESCREEN and to help us interrogate health messaging in Queer Cinema, the Out Takes team were joined by SMOKESCREEN moderator Benjamin Law, who has built a reputation for himself as one of Australia’s foremost authors and social commentators alongside Quit Victoria Director Dr Sarah White.

I USED TO BE NORMAL explores the complex emotions of passionate pop-music appreciation.
We also reviewed BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, the controversial new Freddie Mercury biopic from director Bryan Singer. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY has soared at the international box office, but it has received mixed reviews and has been lambasted for straight washing and queer erasure.

So... LEARN MORE off the big screen. So to celebrate the theatrical release of A Star Is Born, we are looking at each Hollywood telling of this nearly 100 year old ode to stardom.
We’re also joined by our very special guest Lukas Nelson (pictured), son of legendary country music star Willie Nelson, who worked with Cooper and Gaga to write and produce many of the original songs for the latest version of A Star Is Born and also featured with his bandmates from his own band Promise of the Real who double as Jackson Maine’s band in the film. Lukas opens about the process of taking his musical talent to the big screen, what influenced (and in this case, what didn’t influence him) when writing songs for the amazing soundtrack and his own observations on fame, Gaga and more.
The Out Takes team also look at all four versions of this iconic story and decide once and for all which version is the best of the best (hint: it’s the one that came out this year).
