Oh no oh no oh NO

this book is coming it is finally out for pre-order and let me be very clear: It is going to swallow you whole and destroy your life, soul, and the entire universe, and I could still not be prouder of publishing it. I have never worked on anything like this ever, like EVER.

Nashville Scene
Best Repertory Series Queer Qlassics
ANNIE PARNELL
4 HRS AGO

Illustration of a person painting a mural that reads “Nashville Scene”

When The People's Joker screened in the Belcourt's Queer Qlassics series, director Vera Drew handed out stickers on the sidewalk — and my partner and I ran into Grammy nominee Aaron Lee Tasjan (whose latest album explores coming out) in the popcorn line. That's just the surface of the community and happy chaos of this July series, which featured a Q&A with Drew, a local queer film history seminar, and screenings of tearjerkers (Brokeback Mountain) and camp oddities (D.E.B.S.) alike. Its focus on "stability in hostile times" is especially important now — and so was its revolutionary sense of joy.

You can rent The People’s Joker here if you live in the UK, and you absolutely should because it’s one of the best films I’ve seen in the last few years, hands down

I love @beyondfest.bsky.social for showing me new movies I can't see anywhere else (like Every Heavy Thing) AND letting me hear about the creative process behind them. ❤️ #beyondfest

Director Mickey Reece and several of the cast and crew from Every Heavy Thing (including Vera Drew and James Urbaniak) on stage at the Los Feliz 3 tonight.

A ★★★★★ review of CAMP (2025)

Holy fuckin smokes. To call Avalon Fast’s newest film “dreamy” would be an understatement. This movie feels like a smear of time and space in a way that so few movies do. And for a film this seeped in...

i think one of my favorite things about @veradrew22.bsky.social's The People's Joker is that while at furst it just feels like a totally unrelated story with a Batman/Gotham City paintjob, all of the existing characters and their dynamics are pulling on themes present in Batman media.

The People's Joker - the trans, queer Joker comedy DC Comics/Warner Bros would rather you didn't see - is available to rent in the UK via this link. There's also a 50 min conversation between Vera Drew and Grant Morrison!!!

I saw it in Edinburgh some months back, and it was MAGIC.

Treat yourself:

Tonight’s film: The People’s Joker starring Vera Drew. Second time seeing it, still awesome. Added bonus: it has possibly the longest and most unhinged Blu-Ray menu ever.
