    Body Double (1984)

    One comes to expect certain staples in a Brian De Palma joint. Bold colors, perverts as protagonists, and musical numbers – all of which feature in his 1984 Hitchcock pastiche Body Double. When staying over at a friend’s impossibly Eighties condo, Jake Scully – no relation to Jake Sully, the big blue Na’vi – witnesses what he believes to be the murder of a hot nude woman he’s been peeping on. Chaos ensues as Scully attempts to unravel the ensuing mystery – while also taking time to do a Frankie Goes to Hollywood music video. Wear your best pearls to the screening, as I’m sure you’ll be clutchin’ ’em tight. – James Scott

    Queer Film Theory 101: Road Trips

    Who among us hasn’t taken a cross-country car journey that taught us a little about life, a little about love, and a lot about ourselves? Okay, most of us haven’t, but damn if movies don’t overrepresent this experience. This month, the cinematic-minded queer “professors” of Queer Film Theory 101 feature films about adventures on the gay ol’ gravel way and present on how these influenced their LGBTQ lives. And before you ask, no, not everyone can talk about sleepover staple Crossroads, but I’m sure someone will speak on this important work. –James Scott
