This week on the podcast we move back into the 70s to take a look at the film that made Al Parker one of the biggest gay sex symbols of his era: Steve Scott's 1979 romantic drama, INCHES. Al Parker stars as Doug, a college student who suddenly finds his world upended and his belief in monogamy challenged when his older lover Lee (played by Parker's real-life partner) abruptly leaves him for another man.  INCHES is the first of nearly a dozen Steve Scott films that we'll be talking about over the course of this podcast. Over the course of our discussion, we'll dive into both his and Al Parker's backstories, the film's genesis, and its uncanny similarities to other late 70s sexual empowerment films like AN UNMARRIED WOMAN and LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR.
