    Queer Film Theory 101: Footloose

    Footloose celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, so it’s as good a time as any to revisit the Kevin Bacon classic or see it for the first time through a queer lens. Taking place in a town with a ban on dancing, the storyline about a teenage newcomer from Chicago (Bacon) who rejects small-town conventions resonates today with its themes that parallel current issues like the right wing’s fear of drag. Hear about all the queer subtext in a prerecorded intro for this series curated by Micheal Foulk, film expert and co-host of the I’m Not Busy podcast with fellow funny Austinite Vanessa Gonzalez. – Kat McNevins
