Movies That Made Us Gay


May 17, 2024

"You like to watch, watch this!" We watched "Sliver" from 1993 with our friend Adam Yeend and we're gonna start closing out blinds at night! Sharon Stone followed the breakout success of "Basic Instinct" (1992) with another Erotic Thriller - this time playing a much more grounded character. Listen, we love Catharine Tramell, but Stoney decided to switch things up and leave the murdering to the boys this time. William (Billy) Baldwin is giving us his best Alec impression right down to flashing those Baldwin Buns. And would it be a '90s Erotic Thriller without a soundtrack straight out of the Pure Moods catalog? Enigma even wrote "Carly's Song" specifically for this film but we would be remiss if we didn't mention the UB40 rendition of "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You" that was everywhere for the rest of the '90s. We also unpack the WILD alternate ending inside of a volcano (not making this up) as well as the shifting of certain plot points to allow the new ending to make sense.  Did Hollywood try to recreate the lightning in a bottle of "Basic Instinct" with "Sliver"? Maybe. We still think "Sliver" is a lot of fun and definitely worth the revisit.
