  • How Come-Out Culture Almost Crucified the Cast of Heartstopper
    Dec 31 2022

    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 nostalgic (& likely queer) content. Happy New Year!

  • Two Girls in Love Invented Romance
    Oct 24 2022

    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.]
