  • Summary

  • In the 1950s, nobody paid too much attention to the films of Edward D. Wood, Jr, but his films hit cult status when they were rediscovered in the 70s & 80s. While some are simply low-budget b-movie schlock, one film is an ultra-personal exploration of his own gender identity. Now, Glen or Glenda is looked upon as an important landmark in queer cinema, specifically for the transgender community. Glen or Glenda also got additional attention after it was featured in the 1994 film Ed Wood, directed by one of Wood's admirers, Tim Burton. Dan and Jon celebrate the aspects of Glen or Glenda that make it special and imagine new ways to revisit this cult classic in the modern era.
