Fine Cut with Alyson: Bryan Holdman
Download MP3Alyson and Bryan Holdman (Writer/Producer of shows including Pretty Little Liars, Kyle XY and Our Kind of People and author) discuss the new documentary WHAM! and specifically the final few minutes that cover the farewell concert at Wembley in 1986. Bryan and Alyson discuss the female and queer gaze and how it applies to this film, WHAM!, George Michael, their careers and the fandoms surrounding both. They also talk about how WHAM! is a love letter to male friendship and allyship and how surprisingly emotional both of them were watching this film. Alyson loves any opportunity to talk to her decades old friend (!!!) and this incredibly wide ranging conversation is no exception. They loved it and hope you will too.
