In Minute 66 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny talk about whether Oscar Wilde should legitimately have a co-screenwriter credit on Velvet Goldmine, whether the film sent young fans scrambling off to find where these quotes came from, the plush carpeting of the 1970s, more thoughts on the epigrammatic near-meaninglessness of Wilde’s The Critic As Artist, our constant fashion lodestone Freddi and his Versailles look and the visual call-out of Rocky Horror in Angel’s outfit, Wilde’s work being used against him at his trial and what Wilde’s works say about Victorian gender politics, aesthetics, and women’s rights. And then we talk about the circus as a paragon of queerness, the history of those who are physically different, and we finish with the metatextual quality of our characters reading off of cue cards and Curt giving the movie audience an arch look.
