“We didn’t need dialogue.  We had faces!” We watched Sunset Blvd (1950) with the very funny Dennis Griffin and we’re ready for our close-up!  This Uber-meta film about the film industry gave the world one of the most glamorous, tragic and straight up bananas performances of the 20th Century in Gloria Swanson’s portrayal of Norma Desmond.  William Holden is also giving us major beef-cake daddy vibes as Joe Gillis, the screenwriter turned gigolo who finds himself on the business end of Norma’s amorous affections. If you’re anything like us, after watching this movie you’ll be perfecting your Norma Desmond impression while manufacturing a turban out of a tea towel and prancing around the house in your most glamorous caftan. Remember Norma’s words well kids... “No one ever leaves a star.  That’s what makes one a star.” Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna
