2025 Pride Mount Rushmore Special

We interrupt this podcast feed for this special report... (morse code sounds, fly in wooshes, whatever you hear in your head other than this podcast)

For 70mm Rejected's first film roundup special, we were able to get back recent voices and amazing possums Grace, Thomas, AND joining us, our Salò street correspondent and new voice to the feed, Pat. They sit down, discuss and present the 2025 Village Pride Mount Rushmore Special.

Kick back and relax as they talk about films that should be on the queer film Mount Rushmore, who missed the cut, and who the village chiseled out of the rock as the village voted representative.

Check out the full list of the films voted on and discussed in this episode, HERE

And for a deeper dive into some Pride + Queer culture and histoy, touched upon in this episode, please check out these wonderfully curated links by Pat:

• The conflict between Pride as a celebration and a protest, in the wake of current queer oppression, is as old as Pride itself (Welcome to New York, a brochure distributed by ACT UP at Stonewall 25 in 1994): https://actupny.org/documents/stonewallfly.html
• This year's Queer Liberation March in New York City is on Sunday, June 29th: https://queermarch.org/
