About
You can watch Beefcake (1998) on Hoopla with a participating library card.
A look at the 1950s muscle men's magazines and the representative industry which were popular supposedly as health and fitness magazines, but were in reality primarily being purchased by the still-underground homosexual community. Chief among the purveyors of this literature was Bob Mizer, who maintained a magazine and developed sexually inexplicit men's films for over 40 years. Aided by his mother, the two maintained a stable of not so innocent studs.
Subterranean subcultures find a sudden, public voice through the hyper-masculine imagery of 1950s fitness periodicals. This deep dive reveals how Bob Mizer turned bodybuilding magazines into a vital lifeline for a hidden community.
