Episode 82: 1995 with Caden Mark Gardner
A podcast about the great movie years.
This week, we’re joined by the other co-author of the must-read new book Corpses, Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema, as film critic Caden Mark Gardner discusses the cinema of 1995, including such now-classics as Safe, Heat, and Devil in a Blue Dress.
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Google Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Safe is streaming on Tubi and is available for digital rental or purchase, or you can pick up that great Criterion Blu-ray we mention. (Also, here’s a piece Jason wrote about the movie when that disc came out.) To Die For is available for digital rental or purchase, and it has a very recent and very good 4K from Criterion.
Heat is streaming on Paramount+ and Fubo, and is available for digital rental or purchase. (And here’s a piece Jason wrote about it and its TV-movie predecessor that Caden mentions.) Devil in a Blue Dress is streaming on PlutoTV and Fubo, and is available for digital rental or purchase, or you can pick up the Criterion 4K that Jason and Mike watched.
And The Celluloid Closet is available for digital rental or purchase, or (if you’re in the mood to splurge) as part of the Sony Pictures Classics 4K box set.
