Tom DeSimone / The Idol / Jack Wrangler | S4 E5 | Gay Audio/Visual Podcast Series | LGBTQIA+

This episode celebrates Tom Desimone, a gay porn director turned Hollywood filmmaker who helped develop and contributed to the early years of gay porn. I also examine DeSimone’s film The Idol, a coming-of-age film that involves real dialogue and genuine acting as the lead character comes to terms with his sexuality. And finally Jack Wrangler, a 70’s gay porn icon, turned cabaret producer who was a legend in his time and whose stardom coincided with the gay liberation movement making him a role model for many men.
