Arthouse Garage: A Movie Podcast

Arthouse Garage is back! Film critic Russell Miller joins the show to talk about our picks for the 10 best films from 2000-2025

Arthouse Garage is back! After a long hiatus, the podcast is back to look at the best films of 2024. Film critic Russell Miller returns to the show to talk about the best scenes, performances, and films of the year.

On this episode, I interview the filmmakers behind BIG BOYS, a queer coming-of-age film that's playing at the 2024 Reel Queer Film Festival this Saturday, Aug. 10. Info and tickets at ReelQueerFilm.com [http://reelqueerfilm.com/] Writer/director Corey Sherman and producer Allison Tate were kind enough to talk with me about this film, which is one of my favorite of the year so far. It's the rare queer coming-of-age story that's also a crowd-pleaser-- emotional, but ultimately sweet and funny. I highly recommend checking it out at the film festival this weekend or catching it on-demand.

On this episode, we speak with filmmaker Rocky Roggio, the director of 1946: THE MISTRANSLATION THAT SHIFTED CULTURE. The film looks at Bible translation and the controversy around the word "homosexual" and how it's translation has harmed people in the LGBTQ+ community for decades. The film is playing at the Reel Queer Film Festival, Aug 9, 2024 and Rocky Roggio will be in attendance for a live Q&A after the screening. Tickets and info at ReelQueerFilm.com [http://reelqueerfilm.com/]. In honor of the upcoming screening, I decided to re-release this interview from 2022, that I did with Roggio as the film was still in post-production. We speak about her religious upbringing and how the film came to be.
