Description
Blast your '90s music and prepare to get vulnerable with your masculinity because we're talking Nicholas Verso's 2016 coming-of-age drama Boys in the Trees! Joining us for this discussion (one that Joe's been waiting two years for) is Aussie author Aaron Dries (Dirty Heads, House of Sighs)!Join us as we discuss the film's handling of some admittedly sensitive subject matter (CW: sexual assault) before discussing the creative process that removed any explicit queer content from the film. Expect plenty of comparisons to Stand By Me, The NeverEnding Story, Bridge to Terabithia and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.Plus: Whip-its/nangs, trading bullying stories (watch out for shaving cream!), toxic fire extinguisher snow and some lessons in Australian culture. Oh, and Joe and Aaron have a meet-cute!Questions? Comments? Snark?
