The Great American After: A Conversation With Stephen Winter, Badass Extraordinaire

J. Gillis

Content warning: Mention of Nazis and rape. Reader discretion is advised.

The following interview contains spoilers for “Nashville” (1975, dir. Robert Altman), “Chocolate Babies” (1996, dir. Stephen Winter), and “Jason and Shirley” (2015, dir. Stephen Winter).

Folks, I hope you’re ready for a doozy. The following conversations were conducted with Stephen Winter, the writer/director of some of the most bizzarely brilliant queer films of the last thirty years (both of which are available to view on Vimeo), as well as the exhiliratingly strange podcast “Adventures in New America.” On Oct. 28, 2020, we sat down to discuss his creative history and wound up in a heated dispute regarding the nature of one Jerry Lewis. I hope you enjoy- I certainly did.

Smitty (they/them) | Entertainment & Creatives Editor

give me love, mother. before it’s buried with the white noise from your tv screen. when you’re asleep, after i’ve come home from a long night of loud music and louder trees, i try to step around that creaky floorboard by your door. i believe that grinding myself down to static is better than trying to find what’s missing between us.

On October 17th, 2020, we sat down to discuss her illustrious career. At the start of our conversation, everything seemed fairly standard. By the end, the secrets of the universe had revealed themselves to us. We hope you enjoy - we certainly did.

Dinner for Two

Natalie Gilbert (she/her)

     You are driving home from work. A job you insisted you would never take. A job you despise, but altogether tolerate because it has a good health insurance plan and can help you build up your 401k. Back when things like health insurance plans and 401k’s didn’t seem to matter you told yourself that you’d never be caught dead working a job like this. But here you are, in the place you never hoped to be, doing things you never wish to do. In grad school you had grandiose visions of becoming a big-time corporate lawyer. You know, the type that negotiate big time trade deals and patents? The type pulling down seven figure salaries. But now you are just a filthy estate planner, your only clients are older couples trying to keep their children from cheating each other out of every nickel and dime. Or occasionally you will service the newly married couple who look at each other with so much hope and passion, and you assure them that any plan is better than no plan in terms of matters of the estate, but the whole time you will be thinking about when was the last time your wife had looked at you that way, or better yet, had she ever looked at you that way? But, despite all this there you sit, stuck in the never-ending cycle of profiting off of other’s inevitable death. But hey, there are much worse things to profit from, right? ​

“What We Do in the Shadows” and Pansexuality Rep: The Good, The Bad, and the Potential For More

Ras (she/her)

I’m going to preface this with a few qualifiers: I do not like “The Office.” I think “Parks and Rec” is eh, and I’ve still yet to finish it. I like sexy vampires, but mostly as an allegory for queerness, not the “Twilight”-induced sparkly confections of the 2010s except in an extremely ironic way. And yet, somehow, in this year of 2020 I fell in love with the irreverent vampire mockumentary that is “What We Do in the Shadows.”
