Queer and Present Danger

Ep. 22 - FlameCon Edition! by Jason Tseng and Anthony Kuhns

Anthony and Jason review the latest in nerd and queer movies with a discussion of Suicide Squad's pitfalls (and some glimmers!), Star Trek Beyond's queer solo and other triumphs, and 4th Man Out, an indie gay movie that's actually not embarrassing to watch with your straight friends!

Anthony and Jason examine the new trailers for Marvel's upcoming films and television shows coming out of San Diego Comicon: Dr. Strange, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Anthony catches us up with Penny Dreadful and why we should give it a shot.

Anthony and Jason get excited about the newly announced queering of Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek Beyond, an overview of queerness in Downtown Abbey, and a rundown of queer podcasts we're obsessed with!

This week, Anthony and Jason talk about the new Voltron reboot and its surprisingly awesome execution! They also round up season 6 of Game of Thrones.

Anthony and Jason surface from the morass of adulting and talk in depth about the latest in queer nerd news! We dish about the latest in Pokemon Sun/Moon news, reconnect to that singularly spectacular/terrible British soap opera Hollyoaks (and our fav John Paul McQueen), deconstruct our feelings about Marvel's latest addition: Captain America: Civil War, and some queer news in the DC: Rebirth line up

We're back after a month-long hiatus. SORRY! But we're exciting to be back in the saddle and today we talk about our obsession with KimChi on RuPaul's Drag Race, the eyerolling ignorance of Yellowface and Orientalism in Hollywood, and how much we're obsessed with Rachel Bloom and My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (also Josh Chan! also White Josh!)

Alex and Jason dig into the latest season of Daredevil, Freeform's new sitcom Young and Hungry, the Hamilton casting "controversy", and Anthony's view of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This week Anthony and Jason actually keep a schedule and push out an episode on time! We chat about the latest entrée in the DC cinamatic universe with the drab and joyless Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. We also reflect on the perfect incarnation of nostalgia that is Netflix's Fuller House.

Ep. 12: #IronFistSoWhite, ShadowHunters, Iceman's gay education, Al Ewing by Jason Tseng and Anthony Kuhns

This week, Anthony and Jason dish about the latest in nerd news: Charlie Carver of Teen Wolf and Desperate Housewives fame came out! SyFy's new series The Magicians is a hit and has a prominent queer character! Legends of Tomorrow caps off the Berlanti-verse with pizzazz, and we get some great queer character development between Iceman and Anole in Extraordinary X-men.

Anthony and Jason count down the most important and impactful queer nerd content of 2015. Highlights include Netflix's Sens8 and Jessica Jones series, X-men's Ice Man coming out, Steven Universe's second season, the revamped Jem and Holograms comics, and much more!

We're back after the Thanksgiving holiday and we discuss the newly released season 2 of Transparent, NBC's third (and finally successful) attempt at live musical theatre "The Whiz Live", Grace and Frankie starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, and the growing movement to convince marvel to cast an Asian American as the Iron Fist.

After a two week break, Anthony and Jason dive back into queer nerd pop culture with the shows that everyone is talking about: Jessica Jones and Master of None. We also dish about Ice Man coming out in Uncanny X-men #600 and the disappearing queers on Agents of SHIELD

We catch up on amazing Sci-Fi theater (Honeycomb Trilogy) and Anthony's 30th Birthday! We delve deep into the racist backlash to the Star Wars VII trailer, the increasingly infuriatingly nonsensical "The Flash", the missed opportunity for bi-visibility in American Horror Story, the new season of Arrow and the new, queer Mr. Terrific (he's terrific!), and finally the wonder that is The Great Australian Bake Off!

This week Anthony and Jason couldn't wait a whole two weeks to talk about developments on Agents of Shield with the introduction of the MCU's first canon LGBT superhero, Joey Gutierrez. We also go over the return of Heroes and Gotham

This week Anthony and Jason talk about diversity in entertainment. Anthony recaps the diversity in the MCU panel at DragonCon while Jason talks about the awesome gains for women of color at the Emmys (and how Taraji P. Henson is everyone's best friend), and also the Mikado controversy in New York City.

This week we have a special guest, Kevin! We also dish about Amadeus Cho as the new Totally Awesome Hulk, AMC's new android show Humans, and Anthony and Kevin's fabulous weekend at DragonCo

We catch up over Anthony's experience at Throwing Shade's live show, the new legendary pokemon, Zygarde, and why it freaks out Anthony. Jason dished about the news coming out of D23 about upcoming Marvel movies. Our topics this week include jumping on the Fantastic Four bandwagon of criticism and gushing over Monster High dolls and their new canonically queer character! This week's Master Slashfic Theater features some cute Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy slash: The Name on Your Forehead by Kiarawolf - http://archiveofourown.org/works/4039174/chapters/9084484

Anthony and Jason catch up over Ant-Man, the new Jem & the Holograms comic series, gush about the latest developments in our favorite animated tv show, Stephen Universe, and groan at the missed opportunity that is Disney's Descendants. But that's not all! After a rip-roaringly fun debut of Master-Slashfiction Theater last episode with some ridiculous Kirk/Spock fic, we're delving into pre-WW2 sexuality angst with this steamy Steve/Bucky fic by jacquez: http://archiveofourown.org/works/196281

Jason and Anthony are back at in again! After several years of teaming up on the queer comic podcast, Scarlet Betch, we're starting a brand new podcast on everything queer and nerdy. This week we go into a queer reading of Pixar's recent film Inside Out, talk about Dylan Marron (Welcome to Night Vale) and his Every Single Word video series that calls out the dearth of speaking roles for people of color, and squee about the coming Marvel Universe after the Secret Wars crossover. We also have a special bonus segment: a dramatic reading of slashfic. Today's selection is a wonderful Kirk/Spock fic about Kirk getting a tramp stamp. It's comedy gold.
