Show Notes
Dennis is joined by documentarian Kyle Henry to talk about his film Time Passages, which he describes as "time traveling through his family's archive to try and understand my family and myself." Kyle himself appears on camera and so does his mother, who has dementia and is living in a nursing home when the film begins. Later in the film, COVID hits his mother's nursing home and Kyle worries that he'll never get to be in the same room with her again. Kyle talks about what the time was like and how he believes there is stull so much unresolved COVID trauma. Other topics include, gay boys and their moms, faking Fisher Price-esque peg dolls for his movie's reenactments, staging epic disaster movies with his toys as a child, the wig he more to play his mom on camera, meeting and kissing his husband at an "anti-Valentine's" party and his Marine Corp drill instructor dad and the lovely way he came to embrace Kyle and his creativity.
