Two overly online nonbinary lesbian communists of color (with gaylor tendencies) spew their opinions on pop culture and media via a three part comedy variety show: first, a discussion of a listener submitted hot take. Second, analyzing a piece of media we've both consumed together. And third, recommending books/movies/TV/music/etc. to each other. Renaissance is the film stan twitter user, and Sunny is the booktuber. We think we are hilarious and have the correct opinions, and we hope you can agree!

    reading is CRUCIAL! discussing Caliban & the Witch by Silvia Federici & queer/feminist histories

    Are white queers entitled about their history and culture? Can femmes be nonbinary? And other pressing questions that our listeners, patrons, and substack subscribers have submitted to us... (Email us your hot takes at thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com!!!) Queer history is so so so important and most gay people do not know enough of it! The Persistent Desire: A Femme-Butch Reader edited by Joan Nestle is one of the most important lesbian history books ever BTW, especially for femmes and butches. Silvia Federici's 2004 book Caliban & the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation is a book all feminists, Marxists, and Marxist feminists need to read. The politics of magic, the witch hunts, and the relationship between European colonialism and the dispossession of women and workers are some of the topics this book thoroughly explores. We cannot recommend it enough. Check out Sunny's recommendation of Sophie Lewis's books (Abolish the Family, Full Surrogacy Now, & Enemy Feminism) and Sunny's interview with Sophie, and Renaissance's Letterboxd and their recommendation of the documentary Feminism Inshallah: A History of Arab Feminism. Disclaimer: we recorded this episode back in the spring.

    Sinners (2025) review + loving the arts & authenticity

    This episode includes discussion of: “butch-femme” aesthetic photos, our problem with Pinterest, internet personas and the importance of being earnest (and also genuine!) Also: the importance of female singer-songwriters and how CINEMA IS BACK which might be a recession/fascism indicator... In discussing the the racial and historical background of Sinners (2025), we examine the portrayal of truth and legacy in this surprisingly good blockbuster movie. From lynching to sharecropping, the frankness with which Ryan Coogler portrays 1932 Mississippi was incredibly moving. Our recommendations: https://www.solidaritycinema.com/ and The Wedding by Dorothy West. 01:04:04 — when we start talking about Sinners Thanks for joining us for this episode!

    Communism is the only answer!!! + Ranking & reviewing Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweet

    We recorded this episode back in September when Renaissance was visiting St. Louis. Watch the full video recording + support future Sunnaissance adventures by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheLavenderMenace How do we deal with living under capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy? As workers, as women, as lesbians, this question haunts everything about the decisions we make for our lives. We're recent college graduates and we do not have the answers!!! But we do, as always, have thoughts and hot take responses. Please email us your hot takes for future episodes: thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com. We love reading your emails! Perhaps unsurprisingly, we have the same favorite song off of the Short 'n Sweet album. In our forthcoming episode, we discuss our Spotify Wrapped stats, and you, our dear listeners will see how our Sabrina listening habits shook out this year...! We're low on media recommendations this time of year, and while we do appreciate all of the media recommendations y'all send our way, the best we can offer this episode is one measly book recommendation from Sunny: I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue. Renaissance recommends street tacos. Much love! Happy holidays & hope you have a happy end to this rough ride of 2024.

    Kamala lost & it's Democrats' fault. Stop blaming leftists for not voting for a genocidairess

    Liberals are coping with Trump's win with racism and cringe, as expected. Almost as expected as Harris's loss...! Genuinely the Democrats have a humiliation kink and are addicted to bag fumbling. Shaming people for not voting for a genocidal maniac meanwhile you're first in line for hell grad school registration because you think the blood of Palestinians is cheap- fascism is here and it's inside every Amerikkkan. Disclaimer: Renaissance had a sinus infection and yet we still bravely recorded this the day after election night. Also, please forgive the sloppy editing the turnaround time on this one was quick! Oh also- We say "Hitler" approximately 3000 times this episode and it was necessary each and every time Email us your hot takes: thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com Watch the video recording of this episode (and almost all of our previous ones!) on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/kamala-episode-115587095 Follow us on our socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheLavenderMenacePod Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/thelavenderpod/ Substack: https://thelavendermenace.substack.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheLavenderPod
