Of course as everyone knows, all musicals are extremely gay. But WHY? It's thanks in part to a group of 1940s gays known as "Freed's Fairies." Their story in this week's Patreon bonus video, available now: patreon.com/mattbaume

Stop what you're doing and watch these sleepy chaps.
One of the reasons why Finland is the happiest country in the world is that the public broadcaster Yle sends a live feed of the first 8 weeks of a pack of puppies every fall. It’s already the fifth edition of ”Finland’s most therapeutic live feed”.

My favorite part of this is how many people seem to lose their phone or some other item in the process, like it's a power of the slide to turn everyone's pockets inside-out
I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Something I love about the folks who watch my YouTube videos is how many of them love & are obsessed with movies as much as me, especially when they call out tiny details about which I thought "well nobody else is going to notice this"

I've come across a fascinating gay newsletter from the 1930s called "The Guiana Hobby Club," ostensibly a publication for stamp collectbors. But something might catch your eye in the "Membership List." You see all those letters and numbers? Well ...

I'm on another obscure-media hunt! This time I'm seeking a clip from a Kenny Everett show, dated March 1980, where he references "A friend of Dorothy." Anybody got any leads?

These clips, BTW, are from the excellent documentary about MGM, When the Lion Roars, which we'll be watching on this weekend's livestream! (Why did they get Patrick Stewart to host it? WHO KNOWS)

Here's a lovely article about the people who risked their careers to put a gay couple on Barney Miller back in the 1970s. (With excellent quotes from @stevencapsuto.bsky.social & a link to my video on the topic.) Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/a...
