Con O'Neill and JJ Feild in Telstar: the Joe Meek Story (2008)

If you really enjoyed Izzy in the last three episodes and want to see some more high quality Queer Agony from Mr. Conathan O’Neill, I would highly recommend watching Telstar. It’s truly one of Con’s best performances, even though it’s bitterly sad and full of content warnings that you should definitely listen to. It’s a biopic about Joe Meek, a gay British song writer and producer in the 1960s. There’s period accurate homophobia, drug abuse, a very graphic suicide scene at the end, and a lot of Con crying and having a massive mental breakdown. It’s sad! It’s hard to watch sometimes! But if you like seeing Con do tragedy and kiss men and act absolutely deranged at times, it’s worth a watch. There are even occasional cute moments with his character’s boyfriend before everything goes to shit!

You can watch it here on YouTube, and it’s also free on Tubi.

Also Con’s tits are fantastic. He’s truly breasting boobily in this one.

I’m trying to review every entry of Con’s filmography and I’ve got a few to choose from. I’d like to wait on Izzy since that’s going to need to be more than one entry. I’ll be reaching out for fanart to showcase for that one.

Dobby Dobson - Don't Make Me Over (1970)

Sweet reggae cover of the Bacharach-David song made famous by Dionne Warwick. If you recognize the organ part, it's from the Tornados hit Telstar.

Accept me for what I am

The end of Telstar is gutting, but when Joe is entrapped by the police and arrested? When he's bailed out and trying to keep himself together while talking about the papers and his poor mother? The depth of his pain, the quiet devastation, the shame and fear and anger - it breaks me.
