This episode jumps off with us having seen a double feature thru the ages - Overboard from 2018 & Overboard from 1987. As relevant then as it is now, this delightful-seeming tale features coercive relationships, problematic sexual encounters, and many digressions.
This is a special episode where we discuss two movies that Leo didn't have any interest in seeing. This is the second take. Without assigning blame, the first take didn't get recorded, and we mostly just talked about the ideas of queerness as displayed in Supertroopers. Unfortunately, most of what made it into the second take was a discussion about what movies should be named in Spanish. Enjoy! And apologies about the sound quality. We now have it sorted.
We discuss one movie and one tv show, among other things. Who is Jennifer Tuckerman, and is she at least bi. Is it weird that a movie set in the world of fashion has zero gay characters? And what's this Gay Face Family show I keep hearing about? All of this and more but still no theme song.
We watch some recent queer movies and discuss.
An introductory episode of our queer themed podcast about culture and media. We don't really introduce ourselves that well, but we discuss TV and jabber.
