Summary
After our road trip episode, we bring you: another road trip episode! But this time the road trip is in the movie. Kind of. For a few scenes. But it's mostly a gay drama about a South Carolina family in the early 70s. Think Tennessee Williams on quaaludes. Written and directed by HBO showrunner extraordinaire, Alan "Tennessee Williams on Quaaludes" Ball, Uncle Frank inspires Patrick and Barry to consider queer representation in early-70s pop culture, the narrative insidiousness of compulsory heterosexuality, and just how serious of a threat Stephen Root actually presents.
