Director Joseph Sackett delivers a trippy twist on the Freaky Friday premise, which finds a young, queer kid named Johnny (Tre Ryder) invading the mind of his babysitter Melanie (Colby Minifie). A bright, often surreal journey follows as Johnny encounters sex with men, fashion, and even childbirth, as experienced from a female point of view. Homebody recalls the wacky tales of Roald Dahl with its quirky humor and fantastical premise, and features a spectacular performance from Minifie in the lead.

The interviewer expresses such surprise about the “other” Sunset Boulevard musical. Anyone who’s read the Sam Staggs book has known about it for years, and there are even videos on You Tube of excerpts that Gloria Swanson herself filmed for TV presentations, when the musical was in its beginning stages. The perception that both of these guys have about G.S. is somewhat skewed as well–“She turned into Norma Desmond; she didn’t have a career after the talkies started”. That’s nonsense. She was a smart woman who left movies because she WANTED to. Her voice was perfectly suited to the talkies, whether in the 1930s or right up to her death in the 80s. She simply had other interests and decided to pursue them! Their whole approach–excepting the gay love story–seems a bit condescending to me. On the other hand, the interviewer is all a-glitter about that “Showgirls” thing, of which I personally know nothing … not that I’d have any desire to know anything about it in the first place.
