Hollywood’s Disposable Beefcake

We love the wild women, outrageous plots and insanely hot hunks from these campy films from the 60s and 70s: Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Myra Breckinridge and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

Despite the success of these movies as camp classics, after their release, these Hollywood hunks disappeared. Even today, they don’t have much of a social media profile to celebrate their past glory.

What happened to them?

What was it about being a Hollywood hunk that made these men run away screaming from show business?

Today we’re joined by Peaches Christ, who for the past two decades has been thinking about and parodying many of these campy films in her wildly successful film showcase Midnight Mass.

Listen as we talk about the lives of these Hollywood hunks and why they may have deleted themselves from show business and the phonebook for good.

Why being a movie star isn’t as glamorous as it seems.
