About Harvey's guest:
Today’s guest, Alonso Duralde, is a renowned film critic, journalist, author and podcaster whose movie reviews and commentaries have brought him great respect, both within the film industry and among the general public.
He’s held a number of prestigious positions, including artistic director at the USA Film Festival in Dallas, arts and entertainment editor at The Advocate magazine, film critic for MSNBC.com, senior film critic for The Wrap, and featured critic for Rotten Tomatoes. He co-hosted the T Y T Network program “What the Flick”, and he’s been a writer and editor for The Village Voice, Movieline, and Detour Magazine.
Currently, he’s the Chief US Film Critic for The Film Verdict. In 2005 our guest wrote a great book entitled, “A Hundred and One Must-See Movies for Gay Men”. Five years later, he published another really fun book called “Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas”, which highlights the best – and worst – movies of the Yuletide season. A few years ago he followed that up with another wonderful book that he co-authored, entitled, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas Movies”.
And now, he’s released his brand new book published by TCM entitled, “Hollywood Pride: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Representation and Perseverance in Film”. This meticulously researched and beautifully written book reveals the fascinating and often suppressed history of the evolution of queer culture on film, spanning from the dawn of cinema, through the “pansy craze” of the 1930s, the Red Scare of the ‘50s, the New Queer Cinema of the ‘90s, all the way up to today, chronicling the evolution of LGBTQ+ storytelling.
This comprehensive book is entertaining and insightful, and highlights the most important, groundbreaking movies, and showcases the achievements not only of the actors, but also the writers, directors, producers, and others behind the scenes, whose achievements defined and exemplified the best of the film industry.
Our guest is a member of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics, and he currently co-hosts THREE highly popular podcasts: “Linoleum Knife”, “Maximum Film” and “Breakfast All Day”. He’s also appeared on CNN, PBS, TCM, ABC, in addition to being featured in numerous documentaries.
