One of the biggest shocks in this film was seeing Tom Selleck without his moustache. It was his signature look, he'd had it for decades. He was a big TV star with a very "man's man" image, so this was a real breakout role for him. The really funny thing about him taking the moustache off is that moustaches like that had become a huge gay image thing in the 70's. Any other actor with that kind of image would have _added_ one to look gay, but he had to take it off. The gay stereotypes were already starting to wear thin by the 90's, as were many of the tropes in this film. That was the point - it was a parody of the ideas people had about gay men (limp wrists, liking Broadway and disco, being "artistic"), pointing to how outmoded it all was as acceptance was slowly starting to creep into American culture. We still weren't there yet, but Hollywood was loosening up some. So after a spate of films about AIDS and homophobia (like "Philadephia", "Boys Don't Cry" and "It's My Party"), we started getting a few films that went past that and were about "let's just drop the hate thing, it's getting old". Some people didn't like this film because of all the tropes, but poking fun at them was the whole point.

This movie made me nearly black out from laughing so hard the first time I saw it. It really, seriously, used to be like this movie in terms of jobs and crap back in the 90s. If there were ANY kind of whispers or rumors at all, you would never ever get hired unless that particular place was an ally or just didn't care if it faced a lot of backlash. In my teeny tiny small ass town in my state, my mom was a badass hair stylist and was very very popular. Back in the early 90s she would stay after hours when it was dark to help out crossdressers and drag queens with like two of her co-workers because they felt it was the only time it was safe for them to come in. Everyone knows a salon is a massive gossip mill, and if anyone knew their secret not only would they be tortured socially, but professionally speaking they wouldn't have jobs anymore. Sexual orientation was not a legitimate discrimination back then. Even in my small town, it's STILL omitted from anti discrimination clauses. We have really taken a lot of steps forward, but we are still so damn backwards we see our asses when we look down.

I love Kevin Kline! FYI, he's been married to Pheobe Cates, who you saw in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", for like 35 years. He's been in lots of great stuff, but a couple of my favorites, are actually both Lawrence Kasdan flicks. Not sure how familiar you are with that name yet, but he is a writer/director that wrote a couple of the original Star Wars movies, and has had many successful films of his own. "Silverado" is an 80s western with Kevin Kline among a great ensemble cast, that he and his brother wrote as a nostalgic homage to the Hollywood Westerns that they grew up on as children, but had basically died out by then. A real Fun watch. The second is one of my two favorite romcoms that involve European travel, called "French Kiss" with Meg Ryan, who was the queen of romcoms at the time. Btw, the other one is "Only You" with Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei. Also, another good Tom Selleck flick is another western from the 90s called "Quigley Down Under", about an American cowboy that goes to Australia. Oh, and "A Star Is Born" was originally a movie from the 30s, and had been redone in the 50s, 70s, and the one you know with Lady Gaga and Bradly Cooper. The 70s one starred Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. And, did you say that you don't know Paul Newman?

It is utterly horrifying, as if he were a perfectly rational prisoner in his own mind, watching as he does horrible things he would never do.

[@chrismiller7743]

Oh, and in doublechecking that detail, I found that he saw multiple psychiatrists before hand for help, including one at UT and specifically mentioned having violent impulses and wanting to climb the tower and start shooting people. So many missed opportunities to prevent that one.

[@mr.jglokta191]

Tom Selleck without a mustache? "Look what they did to my boy"

[@Gargess]

Remember the Blade comments when we were surprised you didn't know Kris Kristofferson? He and Barbara Streisand starred in the 3rd version of A Star is Born. Maybe a good movie for the channel one day.

[@WhiskyCanuck]

The ending was mostly a Spartacus reference (1960 starring Kirk Douglas & directed by Stanley Kubrick when he was still doing more mainstream studio films) - a movie you should add to the list at some point. Not to be confused with the series that was from the past decade.

[@TRK-up2zw]

Wilford Brimley you obviously know from his "diabeetus" memes, but among other great characters, don't forget he played Blair in "The Thing."

[@anath7589]

"A Star Is Born" has been made 4 times...the first time was with Janet Gaynor & Frederic March in 1937; second time was with Judy Garland & James Mason in 1954 (both won Golden Globes); the third time was with Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson in 1976 which won an Oscar for the song "Evergreen" (writte by Barbra & Paul Williams) & swept the Golden Globes; & the last time with Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper. Tom Selleck was the original "Magnum P.I." in the '80s & now stars in "Blue Bloods." He did a film called "Quigley Down Under" with Alan Rickman & Laura San Giancomo. Really good western. Oh, & the "Three Men & a Baby" movies with Ted Danson & Steven Guttenberg...huge hit back then. As for Emily & Cameron, he was a high school senior & she was a student teacher which means they were only about 3 or 4 years apart.

Another lovely Kevin Kline movie is French Kiss. One of my favorites.

[@toxicginger9936]

Yes!!!! An all time favorite. And Soap Dish!

[@amyspeers8012]

@@toxicginger9936 love that one too. BTW-I moved to France in 2017 and have been to the area where the vineyard is!

[@kcw1963]

You break my heart. Not knowing who Tom Selleck is. Google him in 1980s. Original Magnum PI. Super famous for his ’stache. And being hot

[@EShelby2127]

"The Bridges of Madison County" would be a great one for a "Out of character movie star" category!

[@juliacalhoun9491]

Always loved this movie, and how it plays with stereotypes ("I mean, clean? Smart? Nice? Totally gay!")!

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

I grew up in a small town in Indiana, and there aren’t many places very tolerant of “others” here. I’m 51, and my sister is 8 years older than me. She realized in junior high school that she was a lesbian, but she had to keep it very quiet because of the intolerance, and I had a friend who was gay and had to do the same thing. It’s pretty sad that we still have so much hate, bigotry, racism, sexism, intolerance, inequality, and homophobia in the world, but hopefully one day we can all become decent people.

[@thomasmcintosh390]

Oh man, I'm crushed! Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke "I don't care if it rains or freezes as long as I've got Plastic Jesus sittin' on the dashboard of my car!" "What we have heah is failure to communicate". And that's just two of the many iconic lines in Cool Hand Luke.

[@Intellectual-Warrior9]

Ever since Adams Family Values. I've had the biggest crush on Joan Cusak.

[@vapoet]

The I'm gay! scene in the high school comes from the "I'm Spartacus" scene in the Stanley Kubrick movie "Spartatus."

[@JoeCool7835]

Well, we know Kevin Kline was only pretending to be gay here since he's been married to Phoebe Cates (the one who memorably lost her top in Fast Times At Ridgemont High) since 1989.

[@Thom1212]

She didn't *"lose"* her top. She very deliberately and very slowly took it off! I know...I rewound that scene about a million times!

[@leeeastwood6368]

Arnie doesn't dance, he can barely walk!🤣🤣🤣

[@foljs5858]

Two actors you've probably have seen: Kevin Kline - the brute lover of Jamie Lee Curtis who ate the deaf guy's fish at "A fish called Wanda". And Cameron, the actor who outed him is Matt Dillion, the sleazy detective from "Something About Mary"

[@LordVolkov]

The way Kevin Kline casts the remote away after turning the TV off is a perfect moment of physical comedy! He's so funny and the faces he makes 🤣🤣🤣 Kevin Kline is such a talent! The scene of the tape deck berating him as he dances with pure joy is a delight also.

[@theyoshow]

I gasped at the "What's 'Funny Girl'?" And again at "I thought 'A Star is Born' had Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in it?!'" You'll get there. ❤

[@kirkcasteel7070]

Another good Tom Selleck movie that I think you would really appreciate is one called Shadow riders it is an absolute fun film, and it has both Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott also known as the mustache twins

[@carm3d]

RUNAWAY

[@RealJustinCrow]

Just paused at 14.50 as mind blown. The priest he is confessing to is the same from Sister Act! After the nuns first perform and Maggie Smith is losing it, he comes in praising them and talking about the teenagers coming in off the street. Can't believe I've never caught that before. Love this film

[@vapoet]

Barbara Steisand would have laughed more than anyone. She'd been a gay icon through much of her career, the way Judy Garland was before her and Madonna and Lady Gaga after her. Bob Newhart played the principal, He was a already comedy legend at this point. with a 40+ year career in standup and two classic TV shows, The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart. He''s in his 90s still occasionally shows up on shows like The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon.

[@silver_crone]

This movie is a good example of how being gay was still viewed in '97. I like that it made a point to make the whole uproar and clutching pearls over even potentially being gay just so over the top ridiculous.

[@UncleMilo]

Bob Newhart is a classic comedian and comedic actor.

[@allyburnett3315]

4:32 YESSSSS YESSSSSSSSS I'm glad you remember 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ she's in talks of maybe making a number 3!!

[@Uncle_T]

Seeing Tom Selleck without his signature moustache is like seeing an owl without feathers - weird AF!

[@jaynahoffacker2557]

It's probably why I never remember he's in this movie. It just ain't natural.

[@Uncle_T]

@@jaynahoffacker2557 LOL yeah it's like he's some other vaguely familiar actor.

[@averyvincent1868]

My favorite Kevin Kline performance is "Fierce Creatures." A very underrated spiritual sequel to "A Fish Called Wanda," where Kline is so hilarious at playing an utter sleazeball.

[@cbc8716]

Tom Sellick, Paul Newman, Bob Newhart, Little Oral Annie… I’m so old.

[@ssb031]

EVERY TIME you said "diabeetus" I LMAO.. it made my 80's kid heart so happy! SO many celebs in this! OMG.. that reporter is Tom Selleck!!! He's currently on Blue Bloods?? The original Magnum PI?? Monica's boyfriend on Friends?? He does look different without a mustache. OOOOOHHHH... she DID not just say eff Babs!!!!!!!!!! Queen Babs!!

[@pastbehind25]

Did you just ask, What's funny girl? This is A MUST WATCH MOVIE. Pleaseeeeee

[@suebob16]

I think Funny Lady (the sequel) was the film mentioned, but Funny Girl is definitely the better film for Ashleigh to check out.

[@HuntingViolets]

Three years is not that long, but your former student being nominated for an Oscar is a weird thing to wait for (probably just a joke).

[@seattlecryptid]

Everytime I watch something with Kevin Kline now, all I hear is Mr. Fischoeder from Bob's Burgers. Also, Tom Selleck without his mustache just feels...wrong. lol it took me a bit to realize it was him.

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Selleck sans 'stache is jarring, but not for nothing this might be the best acting he's ever done! Being able to see his face was a revelation.

[@musichica09]

“He just came out at his big church wedding! Martha Stewart is furious!” 😂😂😂

[@gingerberrycatt]

Kevin Kline is an icon. As a gay Hoosier, his other Gay Hoosier movie, De-Lovely (biopic of Cole Porter) is my personal favorite.

[@HuntingViolets]

"I am Spartacus."

[@thomholbrook7286]

Ironic you watch this after Philadelphia since the starting point for the story, the celeb outing his teacher at an awards show, was inspired by Tom Hank's Oscar acceptance speech when he won for Philadelphia.

[@joshuah9109]

I know times have changed, but I remember when this came out, Wiford Brimley just melted my heart. He was trying his best to be loving and supportive in the best way he knew how. 🤗

[@BobbyG716]

Wilford Brimley is also in The Thing he plays Blair

[@hausofash-zf8db]

I never thought I would see anyone give this movie the respect it deserves. Kevin Kline is absolutely phenomenal. So happy you did this!
