    How Come-Out Culture Almost Crucified the Cast of Heartstopper

    Closing out the year, we're talking about the hit Netflix series, Heartstopper (2022 -), a wholesome show with a surprisingly toxic fandom! In this episode, we discuss the pitfalls of representation discourse, parasocial relationships, identity journeys, what even is queerbaiting, and - above all - queer joy. [Content warning for discussions of homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, sexual assault, and bullying.]We'll be taking a break at the top of 2023 then we'll be back with more nostalg...

    Two Girls in Love Invented Romance

    Today, we're talking about the tongue-twister, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (1995) - try saying that five times fast! In addition to waxing poetic about lesbian love scenes and the sweetness of first loves, we discuss the romance of exchanging letters, how gender socialization affects the way we approach relationships, the importance of set design, and creativity born in less-than-ideal conditions. [Content warning: discussions of homophobia.] This episode was edited by ...

    Recs & Anti-recs

    Happy National Coming Out Day! Or, alternatively, Happy Do What's Right for You Day! Whether you're out and proud, semi-out or not at all, questioning or still coming to terms with what terms you even like, you matter and we're glad you're here. Today, we're taking a brief detour from our season, and our usual format, to rant and rave about all (or most) of our faves and least faves - while still keeping it queer AF, as always. From hot takes to the best and worst tropes, we discuss Hollywood...

    Erotic Painting with Better Than Chocolate

    [Content warning: discussions of transphobic violence.]Today's topic is the underrated gem, Better Than Chocolate (1999), a movie infamous for one of the most iconic erotic painting scenes we've ever seen (seriously, Google it) - but that's not all this lighthearted lesbian film has to offer! This episode covers art as activism, Canada being the ultimate film hub, the wild world of censorship of gay books, the realization that we sometimes see the mom's point, and a surprisingly sympath...

    My Beautiful Laundrette: We Think We Liked It?

    Ever wanted to see a British gay interracial romance in a laundrette with a young Daniel Day-Lewis? Look no further than the weirdly slow-paced yet sometimes hot and compelling film, My Beautiful Laundrette (1985). Stretching what's acceptable for a slow-burn romance, this film takes 40 minutes to get to the gayness, but maybe it was worth it? In this episode, we mull over confusing family dynamics, surprisingly complex racial politics, why leads Daniel Day-Lewis and Gordon Warnecke were know...

    Envisioning a Queer Utopia with Schitt's Creek

    Today's episode is centered on one of our favorite sitcoms, Schitt's Creek (2015 - 2020). Listen in as we talk about mouth acting, an almost polyamorous plot, the importance of aesthetics, beards (the ones that grow outta your face), and the best cold opens. We hope this unpaid promotion of Canada's least homophobic town makes each and every one of you check it out! We promise you won't regret it, and maybe you'll even become a little bit Alexis, too.This episode was edited by Michelle & ...
