Episode 22: Meet Me in St. Louis&Carol - a podcast by Brian Rowe

In the final episode of 2018, James and Brian revisit (or, in Brian's case, visit) two Christmas films. One is a bonafide classic, Vincente Minnelli's Meet Me in St. Louis, starring the legendary Judy Garland. Was Judy Garland the original Mean Girl in 1904? Is her kid sister a proto-Wednesday Addams? How gay do you have to be to look gay standing next to Dorothy Gale herself? We pair that classic with the new queer classic, Todd Haynes' Carol; a lesbian love story set over the holidays in 1945. Is gaydar a fun party trick or a survival mechanism for queer people? Is this the first queer love story with no villains? Or are we just naturally sympathetic to Kyle Chandler? We answer these questions and more as we celebrate the holidays with two Christmas movies on A Piece of Pie!
