Welcome to a little episode that's kind of like lying on the floor in your BFF's bedroom and listening to records together. Our friend and Resident Lesbian™ Amie gave us six of her picks for the most sapphic music videos of the year. Then we used a random number generator to decide which three to watch along with you! Watch and listen along with us!

The theme for this season is LESBIAN CHAOSSS, and what better way to kick things off than a deep, dark dive into horror. We're joined by our beloved Dr. Horror Dyke (a.k.a. Heather Petrocelli) to talk about their brand new book Queer for Fear: Horror Film and the Queer Spectator.

Highlights include:

😌 Queers currently have the crown for the largest empirical study in horror studies

❤️‍🔥 How the book came to be

💥 Horror is queer

🔥 FILM IS QUEER

🚀 Why writing an academic book was important

⛰️ Discussing some of the great (and not so great) research that came before it

💞 The importance of queer community

🍿 The live cinema experience

💅🏽 Horror and camp

For our final episode, we're talking to the folks who created Portrait of a Survey on Fire: Amie, Baby, and Heather.

We ask them what they thought about the survey's final list of lesbian films, and how it differs from their personal ones. We also collaborate on an alternate top 10 list(!) with some of our faves that didn't make it.

Thanks for joining and watching these films along with us! See y'all again after the break.🌴

Retourne-toi, y'all. It's time to take a look back at the film that started this podcast, the No. 1 film on Portrait of a Survey on Fire's top 10 list of lesbian/queer films, Portrait de la jeune fille en feu. Joining us to talk about the movie and bring us with her to the moody coast of Brittany, France is comedian, writer, and actor Kelley Quinn.
