    Episode 9 - Queer in Review 2024

    In our first episode of the year, we're taking a break from queering up to instead talk about some existing queer media that we enjoy. We'll be recommending some of our favourite queer films, books, and games, in a relaxed chat before we head into 2025 gayer than ever.

    Episode 8 - Pleasantville

    Everything is pleasant in Pleasantville - until it isn't. In this episode, we watch a film that feels out of time in many ways, but still manages to be strangely prescient. We dig into the many mixed metaphors of Gary Ross' splendid debut film, and see how it could be read a parable for queer awakenings.

    Episode 7 - Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes

    Robert Downey Jr really wanted to play a gay Sherlock Holmes and he so nearly did. In this episode, we look at the somewhat maligned Sherlock Holmes films directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Downey Jr and Jude Law. We discuss why the first one is such a delightful romp and how the two leads play with the intensen queer subtext to great effect. We spend less time talking about the dreadful sequel, except to dig into the behind-the-scenes drama that forced Sherlock deeper into the closet.

    Episode 6 - Batman Returns (with Raptor)

    In a shocking twist to our usual formula, we are compelled to say many nice things about a Tim Burton film. You see, once upon a time, Burton truly had the juice and made a messy masterpiece that's only sort-of a Batman film. We are also extremely proud to welcome our very first guest; the amazing Raptor, who will help us tackle this delightful disaster.

    Episode 5 - Equilibrium

    Equilibrium is a film that we have a lot of feelings about, which is perfectly fitting. We take a look at this unfairly maligned flop from the post-Matrix era of philosophical action films, and discuss how its themes of emotional repression, self-expression, and waking up to who you truly are can be turned into a queer story. Also, about how totally awesome gun kata is.

    Episode 4 - Corpse Bride

    Well, we've had a good run, so it was about time we watched something mediocre. In this episode, we take a look at Tim Burton's mostly failed attempt to recapture the magic of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and why it fails to make us care for its tepid characters or lifeless love story. It needs a good queering up, and we're just the ones to do it. CW: Mentions of death, suicide, forced marriage, murder, poison References: Tim Burton's World of Sadboys by Infinite Snow ProductionsLooking For Meaning in Tim Burton's Movies | An Analysis by Maggie Mae FishThe Corpse Bride is Actually Jewish by Jewitches Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 3 - Bend It Like Beckham

    In this episode we learn why Bend It Like Beckham is a modern classic and why it has such a massive queer fanbase. We had to take our own shot at queering up this delightful coming-of-age classic - and explore if there is any truth to the rumour that the film was always intended to be even more gay.

    Episode 2 - Some Like It Hot

    Some like it hot - but how about we make it even hotter? In this episode, we tackle a true comedy classic, which ended up breaking boundaries both for the American film industry and for queer representation on screen. And it's our job to make it even queerer.

    Episode 1 - The Little Mermaid

    For our first Queer Up, we tackle one of the most influential animated films of all time: Disney's The Little Mermaid. We dig into its queer legacy and themes - both that of the 1989 film but also the original story by Hans Christian Andersen - to see how we can turn it into an explicit story of self-acceptance, transitioning, and community. And why Flounder needs to end up on the cutting room floor. CW: Mentions of parental abuse, transphobia, homophobia, sexual abuse, knives Opening theme: Mini Vandals - Who Do You Think I Think You Are? Ending theme: King Canyon - Mulholland Hosted on Acast.
