Episode 150: Cruising

Special Guests: Don Scardino, Randy Jurgensen, Travis Mathews

A highly controversial film, William Friedkin's Cruising was as confusing as it was confused. It's a slasher film, of sorts, set in the leather bar scene of the late '70s.

We're joined by Jeffrey Schwarz of I Am Divine, Wrangler: Anatomy of an Icon, Vito! and more.
