Rebel Without A Closet

Send us Fan MailThree years ago today, we started the Rebel without a Closet Journey. I was adorable once, young and full of hope….so It's with a bittersweet mix of emotions that we come together today to bid farewell to this incarnation of our Queer and Queer Adjacent journey.Over the course of this series, we've explored the vibrant collections of queer cinema, dived deep into our personal stories, and created a safe haven for open and honest discussions. From Frenchies to Conference tables made of Solid Oak, each episode has been a testament to the resilience, strength, and beauty of LGBTQ+ stories. So, turn your little self around on those Robert Clergerie Knockoffs with our hearts full of gratitude, and get ready for the final episode.   From Port aux Basques to the Moon Kingdom, grab your goblet of red wine and celebrate the moments, community, and friendships that have made this podcast an unforgettable adventure, right here, on Rebel without a Closet. Support the showThank you all for an incredible 5 Seasons!Our entire library is now available on all streaming platforms.

Send us Fan MailRebels! Welcome to the Pride Rewind! Nothing makes more sense than to revisit the one degree of separation between the rebel camp, and Charlie David, than a movie so terrible, it changed the way we recorded. Ten Minutes in, over 30 notes, 5 voice messages, and an IMDb spiral, I couldn't bring myself to press play. So we took a breath, gave it some time, and came back to it, for our first-ever live reaction Audience Watch Along!Mulligans (2008) Written by and Starring Charlie David.  Charlie David spends 92 minutes trying to convince the audience that he's a closeted teen blissfully ignorant to destroying the family of his best friend by sleeping with the father who's only 8 years older than him. Shoehorn some Golf references to justify the title and bam. Gay Cinema.Support the showThank you all for an incredible 5 Seasons!Our entire library is now available on all streaming platforms.
