Homophilia

It's the end (and the beginning) of Bros week here at Homophilia, and we are joined by Bros’ own Brock Ciarlelli! He shares his recent Netflix comfort binges of Dahmer and Will and Grace, his early days navigating the Los Angeles audition jungle with his mom, working on The Middle, and meeting his partner on Raya. Plus: pickle ball and a porn awards career breakthrough.

This week, the boys fly solo with Adam Levine’s DMs, Matt’s pivot into women’s soccer, Dave’s trip to his very Catholic college’s gay homecoming tailgate, our potential new name, that kinder, gentler ‘90s homophobia, JT LeRoy, JC Chasez, and why Vineyard Vines needs to be eradicated.

Matt and Dave talk to gay Hollywood power couple Blake Lee and Ben Lewis about the Emmys, high-end grocery stores, What We Do In The Shadows, what Ben did in the shadows of a Toronto gay club when he was 16, the pressures of the closet on a relationship, the Kermit-Miss Piggy power dynamic, the lies we tell our parents, and the gifts Blake’s parents gave school administrators to keep him from getting thrown out. Also: Dave has a Catholic college queer homecoming to get to.

Summer is nearly over and Homophilia is back in action with country singer/songwriter Cameron Hawthorn. In this heartfelt chat, Cameron opens up to Dave and Matt about the inspiration behind his music, his coming-out process, and his days in a Christian fraternity. And of course, Beyonce's Renaissance is discussed, because it must be.

If you need a lift of your spirit and a shot to the heart, this episode is for you. Dave and Matt are graced by Roger Q Mason to talk about their new play, Lavender Man. They also discuss biases in the queer community, the evolution of their gender expression, accountability culture, and their family history of clairvoyance.

Author of the new novel My Government Means to Kill Me and co-showrunner of Bel Air, Rasheed Newson joins Matt and Dave to talk fatherhood, daytime soaps, and the rise of the frosted tip twink of the ’90s.

In the middle of this very hot and very queer summer, Dave and Matt get to talk to talented actor and musician, Fin Argus. From being a member of Kids Bop to their role on the new Queer As Folk, Fin discusses their love of music, particularly Jason Mraz, and attachment to Laurel Canyon. Make sure to check out Fin's new single "Exposure" which drops on August 5th!

The incomparable Ronna Glickman (and parenthetical Bryan Safi) join Dave and Matt this week for a cool, casual chat about Dave's recent trip to Ireland and Duckie, the Funny Girl cast drama, boundaries, Hulu's The Deep End, and Ronna's clairvoyance.Listen to the Ask Ronna (& Bryan Safi) podcast! and check out http://arsocial.club !!

Get ready for your 80's summer fantasy, because this week's guest is dance music artist Tanzer! Dave and Matt geek out with her about the greats: Kate Bush, Kylie Minogue, Xanadu, and the “disco dramarama” that is Tanzer's new music. Also: Dave's mind-blowing vacation in Ireland, and Tanzer finally watches the greatest new wave musical of our time: Starstruck.

Actor and 2022 Tony Award winner Jesse Tyler Ferguson joins Dave and Matt this week to discuss his role in Take Me Out on Broadway, being in NYC during this year's Pride, avoiding sports as a kid, and learning to appreciate them with kids as an adult.
