# Episode #426 – Boat Trip, with Alonso Duralde

[Alonso Duralde](https://bsky.app/profile/aduralde.bsky.social), of our sister [Max Fun podcast Maximum Film](https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/maximum-film/) and [many other projects](https://muckrack.com/alonso-duralde) joins us to discuss something that is, technically, a film, and not a pile of feces. But it’s a tough call! In honor of Pride Month and also Alonso’s new book [Hollywood Pride](https://www.rogerebert.com/features/book-excerpt-hollywood-pride-by-alonso-duralde), our guest pitched us some bad LGBTQ+ themed movies, and (in lieu of trashing some failed films with their hearts in the right place) we decided to critique one of the most retrograde comedies of the 2000s: motherfucking [Boat Trip](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285462/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt). Did we regret this decision? Ask us when we’re done crying and trying to wash off the stink.

 See us LIVE in [July in Boston](https://www.wbur.org/events/931089/the-flop-house-live)!
