Every week, Kristopher Pollard from Milwaukee Film and Radio Milwaukee’s Dori Zori talk about movies — because that’s what you do when you’re Cinebuds.
We’re already a couple days into Pride Month, and some of the splashiest events of June are loaded up and ready to go this weekend. PrideFest runs from Thursday to Saturday, the Pride Parade steps off at 2 p.m. Sunday, and Milwaukee Film has a full slate of movies running every weekend all month long.
Obviously, our focus is on that last part, which is actually three separate helpings of hand-picked movies for the organization’s Pride Month program. There’s the “Queerious” mini-series devoted to queer-coded selections, the “Summer Camp 2” mini-series featuring queer classics that lean into the outrageous, and a trio of bonus picks to round out the month.
To help us navigate the four weekends of Pride Month movies, we brought back the perfect guest: Milwaukee Film GenreQueer and Shorts programmer Jack Feria!
Jack is a Cinebuds frequent flyer, having stepped into the studio with us several times to share all the cool stuff he does with Milwaukee Film. For this particular episode, he joins Dori and Kpolly to chat about the incredible range of LGBTQ+ fare coming to the Oriental and Downer Theatres — from Alfred Hitchcock’s subtext-laden Rope to gender-bending musical masterpiece Victor/Victoria.
Enjoy their wonderful conversation using the player at the top of the page, and check out the full schedule of Pride Month movies below and on the Milwaukee Film website.
