How Priscilla, Queen of the Desert changed the world Between A Frock & A Hard Place - We Are Pride

&t=451s

Mar 6, 2024 #LGBT #pride #Queer
This is the story of how a low-budget Australian film – The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert – changed the course of history, loudly and proudly bringing a celebration of gay culture to the world that continues to resonate 20 years on. Narrated by Terence Stamp, Between a Frock and a Hard Place is also a social history of gay culture in Australia, drawing on footage from the famous movie as well as Sydney in the 80s. A time when the AIDS epidemic had taken hold, this time provided inspiration to director Stephan Elliott, who wanted to tell a story about the world of gay people, celebrating in the face of sadness and fear with flamboyant defiance. Includes interviews with the film’s key players – director Stephan Elliott, actors Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving, and the creative team, as well as drag artists and members of the gay community.


I went to see Priscilla when it came out - and took my teenage kids. We loved it and got the videotape, which we almost wore out over the years. Awesome movie!

TRUMP DIDN'T "CRUSH" ANYTHING. HE WON IOWA BY 2,222 VOTES - 1.17.24 Countdown with Keith Olbermann



Jan 17, 2024
A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump did NOT crush DeSantis and Haley in Iowa. The "takeaway" is not that he crushed DeSantis and Haley in Iowa. The "takeaway" is he beat the field by only 2,222 votes. And the reality is Trump got a total of 56,260 votes and that’s about half the size of this podcast’s daily audience. And Trump only got 51 percent OF the votes in Iowa and if President Biden only got 51 percent in a primary they would cancel everything on television for the next 26 days and cover nothing BUT Biden only getting 51 percent in a primary, right up until kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday 26 days from now.

TRUMP ROMPS, TALKS ABOUT "4 YEARS AND BEYOND" - 1.16.24 Countdown with Keith Olbermann



Jan 16, 2024
SERIES 2 EPISODE 106: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The obvious headline from Iowa last night: Trump romped, around 50%, with the reminder that if it were Biden only getting 50% in the first primary the Democrats would be considered dead in the water. The real headline from Iowa: Trump mused, in that skillfully ambitious way of his, about being in charge for "four years and beyond" and he can deny he meant refusing to leave office in 2029 but of course all he's TALKED about since 2017 was how he deserved more than two terms or more than eight years or more than the constitution allows.

NEW TRUMP TERROR THREAT - 1.10.24 Countdown with Keith Olbermann



Jan 10, 2024
SERIES 2 EPISODE 104: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) Trump made another threat of political violence and terrorism and once again escaped being treated like any other terrorist or criminal trying to blackmail the nation by promising mass death and destruction if he doesn't get his way. After attending the appeals court hearing on his "presidential immunity" nonsense, Trump said if the prosecution of him continued "It'll be bedlam in the country."

BIDEN FINDS THE MAGIC WORD: TRUMP IS A "LOSER" - 1.9.24 Countdown with Keith Olbermann



Jan 9, 2024
SERIES 2 EPISODE 103: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44): In the course of two speeches and four days President Joe Biden has found the word that not only perfectly describes Trump, that not only can be hung around him like a giant gold-outlined neon sign, that not only can humiliate him and stick to him forever, but that the rest of us have been waiting for SOMEBODY to say: "He's a loser."

Loser = Trump

Trump = Loser

Loser J. Trump!
