UPDATE: Very annoyingly, Warner Bros (or someone???) copyright-claimed this video because of a snippet of Madonna music, so I've replaced the video with a new un-Madonnaed version. Hopefully that works.

Hello there!

In this week's video, I'm sniffling my way through the last vestige of a cold and sharing a very weird appearance by Jared Leto on Entertainment Tonight before he was famous -- in the good old days of 1990, when he told an interviewer that voguing was passé and that he wouldn't dance the Lambada because he hates any activity that involves learning.

Plus, a very twisty web of connections involving an episode of ER! It's a tangled chain of actors and TV shows that lands, eventually ... on me.

Bonus Video! A Jared Leto jump-scare from before he was famous (minus Madonna)

Hello there! In this week's video, I'm sniffling my way through the last vestige of a cold and sharing a very weird appearance by Jared Leto on Entertainment Tonight before he was famous -- in the good old days of 1990, when he told an interviewer that voguing was passé and that he wouldn't dance the Lambada because he hates any activity that involves learning. Plus, a very twisty web of connections involving an episode of ER! It's a tangled chain of actors and TV shows that lands, eventually ... on me. This is a re-upload of a previous version of this bonus video, which got copyright-restricted for the way I included some Madonna music! Hopefully this one should be playable for you, but let me know if you run into any issues.

Movie Review- Dallas Buyer's Club-- Dreadful!—-You’re welcome!

Jared Leto has gone pretty much full parody at this point in his career, but no matter how many weird Mobius-type career choices he makes, nothing can ever overshadow his work in Requiem for a Dream. He was simply riveting. I was glad that I could turn you onto that ER episode episode Matt. Looking back at it now, it is indeed a tiny, inconsequential storyline. For me then though, seeing it as a mostly closeted teen who was terrified to say I'm gay to an adult, it was literally everything. I came out to a teacher a few months after watching this episode, and it was on my mind when I did it. Sometimes it is the smallest bit of representation that makes all the difference. The desk manager, Jerry in the show was played by Abraham Benrubi. I missed seeing him in Wings, but I did see him in a show that he filmed at the same time called "Parker Lewis Can't Lose". That the was the first "grown up" show that my parents let me watch, and while it was a blatant rip-off of "Ferris Bueller's Day off", I remember loving that show so freaking much, and particular Abraham's character on it. The fact that he was a supporting character on ER was actually why I started watching it, and obviously, I'm glad I did.

One more thing... the competent doctor (played by Laura Innis) is Dr. Kerry Weaver, whose was a pretty ground breaking Queer character in her own right. She comes out as a lesbian in the 7th season after falling in love with the staff psychiatrist (played by Elizabeth Mitchell - who was Juliet on "Lost"). She later enters into a relationship with a firefighter, Sandy, (played by Lisa Vidal) which occurs over several seasons and was one of the most visible gay relationships on network TV at that time. They have a child in the 9th season, making it one of the first network shows to prominently highlight a lesbian couple parenting.... before Sandy is killed in the 10th season (because gays could just never have a "happily ever after" in the late 90s early 2000s). Her death starts a courtcase arc with Kerry fighting it out for custody of her son with Sandy's parents. Kerry wins, and she eventually leaves the show in the 13th season with her son, a new job offer, and a new love interest. So, maybe she did get her happily ever after in the end...

So, fun fact, this week was the 30th anniversary of ER's premiere! ER is my comfort show (and if you want an incredible retrospective podcast with queer creators and viewpoints, check out Setting The Tone: An ER Podcast) so seeing this bonus video was super fun! There's actually a lot of queer content throughout ER, including, as Trevor mentioned, Laura Innes's character of Dr. Kerry Weaver. In the first season there's actually a very humanizing (for 1994) episode where one of the main patients is a Black trans woman. And honestly? ER continues to do a lot of queer-focused content throughout the series. Because it was the mid-90s, there's also a LOT of groundbreaking content around HIV. It may be a LOT (331 episodes over 15 seasons!) but I HIGHLY recommend ER as a show that did really well (for its time) with queer content.

Re: Leto: I can't stand him as an actor (save for RFAD) or a person, but I must guiltily admit that 30STM is one of my favorite bands (or at least their old stuff is). I think this interview is interesting as sort of a "here's what's to come" showing how completely off the rails and out of touch Jared is as a human being.

A migraine headache which you hope will end soon!

Definitely one of my all time favorite shows too Christopher, and for me, it's head and shoulders above the myriad of medical shows that came after (although I also have a soft spots for House and Scrubs - for very different reasons). I mentioned on a previous post, that ER had two openly gay regular characters early in it's run, Dr. Maggie Doyle and Nurse Yosh Tanaka. Later, it obviously had Kerry, and then in the final season, Dr. Pratt's brother comes out. They also had many storyline with gay, lesbian, trans and intersex patients through the years, some handled well, some in retrospect not as well, but the doctors tended to treat all these people with respect. You also noted the attention it paid to HIV/AIDS which was huge. Finally, it had one of the greatest moments of gay spite on T.V, when Kerry names a clinic dedicated to Queer healthcare after a particularly homophobic doctor following his death. I still think of that episode and chuckle sometimes...

Christopher Hester

YES! I'll admit it--I'm younger than ER is. I started watching the show in 2020 because I was burnt out on watching House (which was MY favorite show from the age of 8 till it ended) and needed a medical show in my life to get me through the isolation. Grey's was too ridiculous for me, and I wasn't in the mood for comedy, and I remembered my dad mentioning once when I was a kid that I would probably like ER. And he was right. ER became the show I return to when I need something stable, and it's thanks to, in large part, how well the show treated social issues like race, queerness, and class.

Oh my LORD that's a lot. ER is one of those shows that passed me by, but I guess I'll need to brush up on that storyline!

mattbaume

Can't say I've ever been strongly tempted to watch that one for anything other than research purposes

Jim

Leto getting the academy award for portraying a trans woman seemed like tokenism to me. I don't know, maybe I'm way off base, but I didn't like anything about this film. Others did!

Jim

I mean, can't a trans woman play a trans woman?

I'm sure you are aware already, but I was late getting to this video and cannot open it. I'm getting a warning saying that the video contains content from SESAC. Figured I'd post something in case others are gett8ng it too. Searched here and in discord, but didn't see anything on it.

mattbaume

ARGH, so sorry I didn't see your comment earlier! I've replaced the video with one that should be copyright-claim-free.
