Raised by Hippies (Ep 377 - Room with a View/Michael Bach)

My guest this week is Michael Bach, whose life was changed in a movie theater — or more precisely, just outside of one, when a conversation about the film he’d just seen led to a terrible discovery about the person he was currently dating. Now, three decades later, Michael’s entire career has come to encompass a very particular set of values to which his eyes were opened on that night in 1990.

We’ll have that conversation in a minute. Also don’t forget to head over to mattbaume.com to subscribe to my newsletter. 

Also take a look at my YouTube channel for videos about film and TV history. I just posted a video about the conflict over the sitcom Soap that engulfed America in the summer of 1977. And head over to my Patreon to support The Sewers of Paris and watch hours of bonus videos about queer pop culture, including an upcoming interview with Golden Girls producer Marsha Posner Williams.
