Well here we are. In Idaho, or Seattle, or Portland, or perhaps a Shakespearean scene with Keanu Reeves? This week we get into the Gus Van Sant's 1991 film "My Own Private Idaho." Yes, it's weird and artsy! And it's important in its depictions of queerness in the 1990s, vulnerabilities and risks faced by sex workers, and some interesting details about narcolepsy and its effects on mental health. Join us as we journey down this road that never ends!
