Bonus video: More David DeCoteau Movies
Added 2024-08-10 00:00:51 +0000 UTCThe Wrong video is officially live on YouTube! As promised, here's your Patreon-exclusive companion video to the Wrong deep dive: A flyover of some other notable films by Wrong auteur David DeCoteau.
This video got age-restricted by YouTube for being so edgy and uncensored (Linnea Quigley's boobs make an appearance), so you'll have to sign in to watch. If that proves to be an access problem for anyone, let me know and I'll try to hook you up with a different way to watch it.
Also ignore the hydrocolloid patch I'm wearing in this video. I'm more REAL and UNFILTERED on the Patreon, okay??

I've always thought the 1313 movies are extremely funny. The unbelievably repetitive plots and visuals are like peak high camp anti-humour to me. If you've only watched Frankenqueen, I would recommend the Cougar Cult one. That's by far the funniest one, and the only one I'd recommend to someone who wasn't a total glutton for bad gay movie punishment as I am

2025-03-05 13:33:02 +0000 UTCI was so shocked that none of the movie are explicitly gay, from the way you'd been talking about them and even just the clips you've shown I thought they were basically softcore gay porn! And I guess they are just in a weirder and more exploitative way

2024-08-18 21:23:30 +0000 UTCI mean I don't think there's any big secret lore, I think despite the nature of his more auteurish films (like 1313) he has always done some work within the studio system, however minor. Like getting his start with Roger Corman and then making stuff for Charles Band, Full Moon Features, etc. probably gave him enough cred to be a hire-able low budget director. He made Grizzly Rage for SyFy in 2007, so he also had some legitimate TV films on his resume before getting involved with the Wrong. I wish I knew more about how Lifetime recruits creatives (because I want them to hire me π’) but I'd guess they either have a pool of reliable "talent" including DeCoteau, or maybe someone like him would've reached out to them directly and asked for a job, but yeah despite the weird stuff in his filmography, by 2016 he probably had plenty of Wrong-level movies to show Lifetime what he could do.

2024-08-13 14:21:01 +0000 UTCIs there DeCoteau lore about how he got the Lifetime gig? I can't imagine the Lifetime execs looking at his filmography and thinking that he would be the perfect fit for their suburban mom audience. Like I'm pretty sure Lifetime wasn't having gay main characters at all in 2016 and their style of movie is decidedly not erotic.

2024-08-13 04:25:40 +0000 UTCI've heard at least one person say it's supposedly HIS own mansion?? but I don't have a solid source, idk if it's actually true

2024-08-11 05:13:40 +0000 UTCMy favorite thing to look for/point out in DeCoteau's movies is the same ugly mansion with the spiral staircase and weird car seat couch he likes to film in

2024-08-11 00:33:26 +0000 UTCOops sorry I missed that in the description! Thanks!

2024-08-11 00:31:53 +0000 UTCThe video got age-restricted by YouTube so you have to be signed in to YouTube to watch it! And I also just tried to watch it in the Patreon app and like you said instead of redirecting to YouTube it just buffers forever. That's annoying!! Here's the direct link: https://youtu.be/HC1ShcCGg1s Hopefully that solves the problem but let me know if you have any other issues!

2024-08-11 00:30:40 +0000 UTCIs anyone else having problems watching? I click the play button and the wheel just spins. Patreon app is updated so Iβm not sure what the problem is

2024-08-11 00:24:54 +0000 UTCQueen (2014) is a pretty acclaimed movie! Good music. Not quite the same premise as RCB due to the lack of Christmas, and it's a bit more of a travel movie, and I think there are fewer gay guys. But worth a watch nevertheless
Jane Mulcahy
2024-08-10 17:27:01 +0000 UTCIβm so glad to have shared the simple joy of a bride scream-singing in her car, and am excited that even foreknowledge could not diminish the reaction of βoh yeah thereβs his gay guysβ. A puzzle piece clicking into place. Frog on a lilypad. I absolutely need to watch the Bollywood film you mentioned and see what happens when competent filmmakers are given the same premise.

2024-08-10 16:59:46 +0000 UTCDefinitely, I feel like Teen Wolf never really embraced the 'supernatural romance' or 'aimed at girls' labels, even though it 100% was, so they'd do all the sappiness and objectification but dress it up in this action movie style like they were too cool for school. It would've been cooler if the show was just comfortable with what it was!
Jane Mulcahy
2024-08-10 14:51:21 +0000 UTCugh that somehow gives me even worse second hand embarrassment
Jane Mulcahy
2024-08-10 14:46:39 +0000 UTCI feel your frustration with DeCoteau's coyness re: the objectification of his male actors, because it was this aspect that began to make me sour on Teen Wolf, especially watching as an asexual teenager. I haven't bought into the recent puri-teen trend; eye-candy has its place, but you can't thirst-trap your way out of bad cinematography and writing.

2024-08-10 12:36:21 +0000 UTCMy favorite detail from Charles Band's autobiography is the revelation that DeCoteau calls the guys-in-underwear movies his "Tighty Whitey Frighties."

2024-08-10 05:03:55 +0000 UTCI KNOW why is it a book light π
Jane Mulcahy
2024-08-10 04:28:56 +0000 UTCi cannot get over that book light as the body scanner π just low effort, no desire to even paint it. very symbolic of his current era* work.

2024-08-10 03:57:21 +0000 UTCI've thought about making a Patreon video about it! Maybe once I'm done with my next main channel video?
Jane Mulcahy
2024-08-10 01:50:56 +0000 UTCListen I know you probably get a lot of requests but I'd eat up a Dante's cove video
