    Episode 36 - Heavenly Creatures

    It’s another episode where opinion is split between the Queer Girl Film Club crew. G didn’t like 1994’s New Zealand crime drama ‘Heavenly Creatures’ and she wants to hear from Alice and Holly about why they did like it… not that Alice and Holly can agree on a very fundamental question: is this film even lesbian? Along the way they discuss the HUGE names involved in this film (pre-Lord Of The Rings Peter Jackson giving film debuts to Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey!), intense teenage friendsh...

    Episode 35 - Bottoms (2023)

    We’re doing it for the ugly, untalented gays this week. We waited so many years for films where girls could be stupid and gross and horny and gay, and then in 2023 we finally got Bottoms, a love-it-or-hate-it tale of the stupidest heroines we’ve met on this podcast so far.Your mileage for stupid and dark humour may vary, but Queer Girl Film Club are here to discuss how the film acknowledges women’s anger and violence in a way which isn’t sexy for men, whether it stands up to a rewatch, and wh...

    Episode 34 - Mädchen in Uniform (1931)

    Is this the oldest film in the queer girl cinema canon? Even if it isn’t, Mädchen in Uniform is certainly old, made in 1931 and nearing its centenary. Coming out of the explosion of creativity which was Weimar Germany, it’s a historical document but is it a good film? Queer Girl Film Club are here to find out.With Alice and G ready to tell us how accurate this is as a depiction of all-girls school life, and Holly on hand with a tonne of historical context, the gang are here to talk teenage cr...

    Episode 33 - Saving Face (2004)

    Queer Girl Film Club is on a mission this week to persuade ten of you dear listeners to watch Saving Face (2004) for the first time. That’s right, we’re all in on the positivity this week as this underrated gem gets the respect and love it deserves from the team. A tale of a Chinese American family where the daughter is a lesbian surgeon and the mum is pregnant out of wedlock, it’s a glorious, warm and funny film about breaking with tradition.Join us as we discuss a film more people should se...

    Episode 32 - The Miseducation Of Cameron Post (2018)

    The gang are back for the new season and we’ve not been replaced by AI! We’re kicking off by talking about The Miseducation Of Cameron Post (2018), a film which revisits the same topic as one of the very first films we did on the podcast. But where But I’m A Cheerleader tackled conversion camps in a camp, pastel coloured dreamscape, TMOCP is more of a realistic nightmare. Join us as we discuss the insidious niceness of the adults running the conversion camp, the differences between the book a...

    Episode 31 - Halloween Special: All Cheerleaders Die (2013)

    Have you watched a lot of cheerleader media (cheerleadia?) Yeah, we are assuming you’ve not seen All Cheerleaders Die (2013) but do come listen anyway and see if Alice can persuade you (and G and Holly) that it is, in fact, the Greatest Film Of All Time, in our Halloween special. There’s magic and witches and an undead cat and glowing gemstones and blood and murder and cannibalism and zombies. It’s gay, it’s a remake (somehow)  and the goth eyeliner is terrible. Wrap up warm in the spooky season as G explains the plot because Alice has brain fog and Holly has no idea what’s going on in this trashy flick, with its 90s SFX and pit full of spikes. Along the way there’s more references to Lord Of The Rings than you might expect (or want, if you are Alice), discussion of diamond knives, and Alice discovers the sound effects button on the recording equipment. Truly haunting. CN: Mention of cannibalism, swearing, spoilers (although we really don't expect you've seen it and that's ok, listen anyway, get spoiled, it's ok) and discussion of a sexual nature.

    Episode 30 - Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

    Bodybuilding! Magical realism! Lesbians! When Chekhov’s gun is actually a gun! Come along and join the appreciation of the gun show (Katy O’Brien’s arms) with Queer Girl Film Club as we talk Love Lies Bleeding (2024). Enjoy the gang’s discussions and digressions about the year’s most hyped queer girl film, during which we talk about the queerness of body horror, Kristen Stewart’s excellent acting chops, scary Ed Harris, steroids, and why it feels like we’re getting a lot of 80s and 90s set fi...

    Episode 29 - Drive Away Dolls (2024)

    Queer Girl Film Club springing into action to bring you the latest in queer girl cinema releases? Kind of. We would have had this out last week, but alas, G has become the second member of the pod to get concussion in the last six months! But the CT scans are done and the results are in: QGFC have the brainpower to talk about Drive Away Dolls (2024), an utterly silly, low brainpower crime romp about two lesbians accidentally driving off with a car laden with incriminating items. And there’s a women’s football team! Join us as the gang as we discuss necessity and objectification in sex scenes, why having a lesbian wife screenwriter can really improve a man’s queer girl film-making, and whether you should make out with your friends. It’s quite the trip as we also talk rescuing cats, how fake boobs can lead to cinematic discovery, and unexpectedly spoil a minor part of Dune 2. CN: spoilers (for Drive Away Dolls and Dune 2, weirdly), swearing, discussion of a sexual nature, discussion of non-bloody head injuries.
