A sci-fi film with sexy blue aliens who look like drag queens? Fabulous!
Avatar is a hit! The dizzyingly beautiful film by pioneering Oscar winning director James Cameron features Aussie hunk Sam Worthington as a ex-Marine thrust onto the hostile alien moon of Pandora.
His mission is to gain the trust of the Na’Vi, Pandora’s exotic blue inhabitants, with the ultimate goal of stealing their resources.
The film paints a future where humanity has little respect for nature and indigenous populations and the Na’Vi aliens are an honorable tribe in tune with their environment.
Some go as far to say that the film idealizes native people while dismissing civilization as corrupt.
Will Avatar be the Star Wars of our generation or simply just another movie that mirrors our misconceptions?
Blogger Michael Lehet joins us to wrap up the year, talk about those sexy blue aliens and review some hot Broadway shows.
Listen as we give you a sneak peek at the new Addams Family musical starring Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth. Is the new musical creepy, kooky, mysterious or spooky? Will Uncle Fester win a Tony? Why does The Thing not have much of a zing?
Also our coverage of In The Heights, now on tour across the nation.
CNN’s gayest New Years Eve ever!
The four year old who went wild in a little brown dress.

“Whether Avatar is racist is a matter for debate. Regardless of where you come down on that question, it’s undeniable that the film – like alien apartheid flick District 9, released earlier this year – is emphatically a fantasy about race. Specifically, it’s a fantasy about race told from the point of view of white people. Avatar and scifi films like it give us the opportunity to answer the question: What do white people fantasize about when they fantasize about racial identity?”

Four years ago Japhy Grant moved to Los Angeles with the hopes of becoming a screenwriter. He turned to blogging as way to find his voice and network in the entertainment industry.
Today, he’s the smart and funny editor of Queerty, a news blog for gay men and their fans. Free of an agenda, except a gay one.
Listen as Japhy takes us on a behind the scenes tour of one of the most popular gay blogs and answers your questions through Facebook about the function and future of gay media, our push and pull with sexual objectification and how Facebook might affect your blog.
Why do so many sites dedicated to sexy men feature predominantly Caucasian men? It’s not just one blog or another. Unless the site is dedicated specifically to a certain body type or race, generic sites or forums dedicated to male beauty usually have a bunch of white male athletes in them. Are we all bigots or is there something else happening here?
Japhy weighs in on the fight between his old college buddy, Perez Hilton and Miss California over gay marriage. Is this public catfight good for marriage equality? I certainly think so, but I can imagine that there are people out there who don’t like having a celebrity gossip blogger (even a very successful one) fighting with a beauty pageant contestant as a way of advancing gay rights.
Well, why not? Progress happens sometimes in many unusual ways. Perez is really well spoken, and he’s got game (the internet kind) to back it up. Let the pinked haired one speak!
Japhy also dishes on his own video blog and who’s overrated on Youtube and who we’re missing out on.
Japhy has some great insight into the hot gay news items of the day so don’t miss this one.
Always fresh, funny & fabulous: Feast of Fun.

Standard Podcast:
The Rev. Charles Straight was there when it happened. In the eighties he was a phlebotomist as the AIDS crisis exploded, when it was still called GRID or Gay Related Immune Disorder.
Today he’s the assistant pastor of Wesley United Methodist Church and preaches about how we must address our fear of gays when dealing with HIV and AIDS. For over 25 years he’s worked in AIDS activism to drive forward people’s perception of disease as a natural occurrence that must be dealt with directly and not as a punishment from God.
As board member of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago he helps guide the organization in focusing their efforts in the fight against AIDS.
As the host of Probation Challenge Radio he works to help keep at-risk folks out of jail. Did I mention he has five adopted kids? Rev. Straight is very comfortable wearing many hats.
Listen as we ask the Reverend how do preachers decide what to say every Sunday? Is the process similar to blogging or is there something more to it? Do you always need to pull Biblical quotes to back up what you’re saying?
I’ve always wondered about the concept of a “Black Jesus.” You might have seen paintings of the physical Christian manifestation of God as a black man but what does it really mean? Is this for real or just a beautiful metaphor? And do Asian Christians have a Asian Jesus or Latinos have a Hispanic Jesus?
Listen to the show to find out.
Bringing you the holy spirit in large, non-lethal doses- Feast of Fools.
