Today I watched Women Who Kill, streaming on Tubi. It started off a little slow and I think that was intentional. About midway it started to get more interesting and a faster pacing. Good production value.

Second q***r film for today is Bad Education. I have seen it before, it played when I was working at the California theater in Berkeley back in 2004. So good I got to see it on 35mm at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco.

Today I’m doing two movies, this one I hadn’t seen but I remember when it came out 21 years ago. I liked this documentary, The Aggressives, it’s about real people living their real lives, being themselves unapologetically. I streamed this on Tubi, they have a large selection of LGBTQ films that other streamers don’t.

So yesterday I watched The Skin I live In. I saw it in theaters and I’m going to see Bad Education on Wednesday. I haven’t seen this movie since it came out. Definitely intense and beautifully horrifying. A much different take on forced feminization. Can be triggering.

Today I watched Pillion. I missed in theaters and now finally get to see it. I liked it a lot. Loved the soundtrack. Beautiful to look at and sexy leather set pieces. A plus no one dies of homophobia related circumstances.

Today’s q***r movie that I haven’t seen before is Swan Song. It was way more emotional than expected and also much better than expected too. I enjoyed it.

Ok so yesterday I watched Pride. It’s one I have seen before so today I’m going to watch two q***r movies I haven’t seen. But if you haven’t seen Pride it’s nice and empowering.

Happy first day of Pride month! I’m watching a q***r film every day this month films I haven’t seen before yay!
Today I’m watching Layla, it’s in Hulu’s pride collection. Full of fun, drag and a great soundtrack. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23888758/
