In an age where there is so much information at our fingertips it behooves us to try and educate ourselves to be informed. In spite of all this information though, misinformation pervades and dilutes the collective facts. Experts come in handy at this point, but even their words have been either drowned out or distorted and most of us do not have experts we can personally speak to within our reach. So we will wade into the absolute deluge of facts, data, opinions, and try to synthesize the “truth” of the matter. There is a sense of “tokenism” when you are a part of a minority group whether that is based on race, sexual orientation, gender, religion etc, when if you are a part of any of these groups you become the representative or spokesperson for your group. Think back to a family dinner when a topic comes up, and everyone at some point looks over to you as the de facto leader of your group asking for your opinion. This podcast wants to exploit this angle and present various topics through our gay lens.

Call Me By Your Name was a 2017 movie directed by Luca Guadagnino, based on the book written by Andre Aciman. Set in 1980s Italy, the film explores the budding relationship between Elio (Timothee Chalamet) and Oliver (Armie Hammer). This film can be considered one of the first to spark the most recent surge in gay media.
