^^^ Saw that too. Thanks. I'm assuming Demo Man is the first show and Over the Top is the second, but it'll probably be confirmed on this week's ep.

Hello all, been searching around and can't find the answer to this q. Feel free to redirect me and lock the thread if I'm just missing it. In any case, I'm going to the live show (back-to-back taping) coming up in NYC, and obviously want to watch the flick before the show. Do they announce that? Send out an email or something, or you're just SOL? From the Q&A it seems like Qers have seen the movie recently. Is it that they announce during the mini-episode, record between the mini and the show, and then release the episode the Monday following? I always thought things were queued a bit more than that, and that wouldn't make sense for this given they're taping two shows in one night. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

^^^ Great. Thanks.

^^^^ Agreed the press was different, but he was definitely closeted. IIRC he won several defamation lawsuits from reporters insinuating he might be gay. In any case, back to the flick. Rob Lowe was awesome, per usual.

Yeah. Damon's character is completely perplexed by what's happening (never seen Liberace perform before, apparently), and Bakula's character fills him in that Liberace's audience thinks he's straight. It's just funny IMO in that Liberace's stage show is so glam and queeny that the best way to describe the situation would be that straight society was so in the closet about the existence of homosexuality that they couldn't see something staring them in the face. The early Damon/Bakula scene at the concert is definitely playing with that dynamic.

It's not bad like Liz & Dick is bad, it's just disturbing as all get up. I mean, three things to know are it's about Liberace fucking a 1) minor who he 2) wants to adopt as his son while he fucks him and 3) forces to get plastic surgery so Liberace can fuck his son-child who looks like him. That's not even the most disturbing part of the movie, though. More disturbing is that Liberace SUCCESSFULLY lived in the closet for his whole career. How batshit does the whole world have to be not be able to put it together that fucking Liberace might not be straight? Wanting to fuck your legal child who has been forced to get plastic surgery to look like you is a typical Tuesday compared to how crazy that is. That's all just the actual story though. The movie itself? Not bad.
