In this episode, Deah and Merryana make a list of LGBT films with multi-million dollar budgets and investigate the hypothesis once posed by the great Freckle from 'The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo' - that sometimes things that are expensive are worse.Pre-order 'This All Come Back Now',  the anthology Merryana is published in, here: https://www.uqp.com.au/books/this-all-come-back-now Please consider supporting GayV Club on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/gayvclub Follow us on Twitter and Instagram for updates:https://twitter.com/gayv_clubhttps://www.instagram.com/gayv_club/ Episodes with closed captions can be found on our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/gayvclub Texts mentioned: Moonlight, Dallas Buyers Club, Portrait of the Lady on Fire, Bound, Colette, Capote, The Handmaiden, Pain and Glory, Carol, Frida, The Imitation Game, Brokeback Mountain (and The Wedding Banquet), The Favourite, The Danish Girl, Mulholland Drive, Love Simon, Milk, Green Book, Behind the Candelabra, The Hours, Battle of the Sexes, Atomic Blonde, The Birdcage, Power of the Dog, Rocketman, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Bruno, Bohemian Rhapsody, V For Vendetta, Deadpool, Interview With the Vampire, The Old Guard, Birds of Prey, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Deadpool 2, Cloud Atlas, Alexander, Troy, Eternals.
