On this week's episode we're joined by dear friend Frances Harvey to discuss gaze, gays, and various forms of penetration in William Friedkin's unfairly maligned S&amp;M thriller Cruising.
Digressions include Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Rope, Robert Mapplethorpe, Tom of Finland, Blow Out, Zodiac, Fifty Shades of Grey, Possession, Poison, and In the Cut.
