Does Hollywood Have a Bisexual Problem?

Does Hollywood Have a Bisexual Problem? 🎬🌈

From bisexual tropes that refuse to die to the characters that shaped how we see ourselves, this episode is a deep dive into how Hollywood portrays bisexuality—for better or worse.

We’re asking:

• 🎭 Why is bisexual representation still such a mess?
• 📺 What actually makes a “good” bi character?
• 🎥 How has cinema influenced the way we understand our own identities?

Plus, we unpack the GLAAD Media Report and the ongoing underrepresentation of bisexuality on screen, discuss how bi tropes have personally shaped our own experiences, and revisit the Hays Code—the old Hollywood censorship rules that forced bisexuality into subtext, villainy, or outright invisibility.

Also in this episode:

• ✨ Bisexual-coded villains & messy, imperfect representation—do we need more of it?
• 🌟 Why Hollywood struggles to say the word "bisexual"
• 🎬 Netflix’s upcoming bisexual romance drama & exciting LGBTQ+ news from Thailand

Whether you’re a film buff or just a casual viewer, this one is a must-listen.
