Behind the Candelabra

Today, we are sneaking in with a Steven Soderbergh flick that did not have a theatrical release but rather premiered on TV. The film? Behind the Candelabra starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon as Liberace and the jaded lover who wrote the book from which the movie was based. Speaking of based, HBO was the only company based enough to make a movie deemed “too gay” by the smooth brains at various studios. The result was two great actors getting what might be the best roles of their lives. But, does this hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate diamond-studded assholes and cheeky fuckboys as we do our best to decide if this flick still catches our eye or if we’d prefer something a little younger and prettier.
