Sewers of Paris: Do I want him or do I want to be him? (Ep 423 - Manuel/Disney films)
Added 2023-07-06 16:00:10 +0000 UTCWelcome back to the Sewers of Paris! Thanks for your patience during the brief pause in the podcast — now I’m delighted to get back behind the mic for more conversations about the entertainment that changed the lives of queer people. On tonight’s episode: Disney villains, Buffy, and James Baldwin.
My guest is Manuel Betancourt, whose new book of essays about hunks, heartthrobs, and what pop culture taught him about men — and the desire for them. Manuel’s found his way through a series of re-inventions, moving from Colombia to Canada to New York and California, each time deciding to try out a new life as he zeroed in on the one that fits best — one that, it turns out, includes naked garden parties.
