Description

On this inaugural episode of the Ask Any Buddy podcast, we take a look at Wakefield Poole's 1977 film, TAKE ONE. Described by the filmmaker as a 'docufantasy,' TAKE ONE is both a love note to San Francisco's Nob Hill Cinema and an exploration of the fantasies of eight gay men.  Over the course of our discussion, we'll talk about our interests in the genre and gay history in general, the film's genesis and connections to seminal queer documentaries like WORD IS OUT: STORIES OF SOME OF OUR LIVES and ARMY OF LOVERS OR REVOLT OF THE PERVERTS, and both the real and reel lives of the men featured in the film.

Ask Any Buddy is a podcast companion to Elizabeth Purchell's mashup film of the same name. In each episode, we'll explore one of the 126 gay adult films used in its creation, from seminal titles by the genre's auteurs to oddities and obscurities that deserve a second look.
