A Piece of Pie: The Queer Film Podcast

Behind the Candelabra & Bohemian Rhapsody

09 May 2025

Description

Click here to send us a message!This week we’re taking a look at two very different queer icons. Musical geniuses Freddie Mercury and Liberace each got the biopic treatment in the 2010’s, and they each got very different movies. Behind the Candelabra starred Oscar winners Michael Douglas and Matt Damon and was directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh. Despite the pedigree, only HBO would release it. Bohemian Rhapsody, by contrast, despite a troubled production and a problematic filmmaker, somehow won four Academy Awards in 2019. Film scholar Paul Klein returns to discuss two queer biopics.
