It’s been 20 years since the “gay cowboy movie” split Western culture in two, but Brokeback Mountain is so much more than its prejudicial and controversial reputation. A film that arguably should have won Best Picture more than any other movie in its respective year, it unabashedly wears its heart on its sleeve and dares you to look away. Saddle up and come along with us as we celebrate this film’s cultural impact as well as its lasting legacy. Plus, conversations about the weird internet mob mentality against Anne Hathaway, “hard soups”, proms with only 3 students, Nathan chugging beans (literally), and so much more with returning guest Michael Moss. And, as always: f--- Crash.
You can read Moss’s essay on the film here.
Brokeback Mountain stars Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Randy Quaid, Heath Ledger. Directed by Ang Lee.
