Podcasts about The L Word

Award-winning actress, history-making supermodel, staunch philanthropist, conscientious activist, author, and loving mom Patricia Velásquez applies an eternal creative spirit to everything she does-whether it be starring in blockbusters a la The Curse of La Llorona or launching the Wayúu Tayá Foundation and participating on the UNESCO Board. Regardless, she makes major strides by drawing on instinct and deliberately paving her own path. Patricia's success represented a turning point in fashion as she drew industry attention to South America for the first time. She experienced a big break upon becoming "the first model Karl Lagerfeld ever photographed" and going on to walk in shows, star in editorial spreads, and front ads for Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Chloe, Cover Girl, and Victoria's Secret, to name a few. Resonating around the globe, she appeared in Oprah and Ford Models' "Supermodel of the World" contest as well. Not to mention, she graced the covers of Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire, and many others. She artfully channeled her dance training during shoots. Simultaneously, she ignited an impressive acting career. Not only did she star in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, but she also appeared on The L Word, Arrested Development, CSI: Miami, Ugly Betty, List of a Lifetime, Hawaii 5-0 and Rescue Me.  Throughout her career, she capitalized on every opportunity to give back. In 2002, she founded the Wayúu Tayá Foundation. This non-profit preserves the culture of indigenous groups throughout Latin America by way of support and the drastic improvement of living conditions. UNESCO invited her to be a celebrity advocate, and the United Nations granted her the 2009 Women Together Award.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod. (Please Subscribe)

Today on Script Apart – one of cinema's great monster movies. The terrifying creature at this movie's core, though, didn't have trailing tentacles, bloodshot eyes or reptilian skin. Instead of sharp teeth, it wore a sharp suit – Valentino pinstripe, perfectly pressed. This monster owned a gleaming Rolex, lived in an elegant condo and smiled politely through slap-up dinners with his fellow Wall Street sleazes. At night, he stalked the streets of New York, maiming sex workers and murdering the homeless, to a soundtrack of Huey Lewis and the News. And twenty-five years on, he's arguably more fearsome than ever in his relevance to our own world. Yes, joining Al Horner for a metaphorical reservation at Dorsia this week is author, actress and screenwriter Guinevere Turner, who co-wrote American Psycho. Guinevere teamed up with someone who would become a long-time collaborator, director Mary Harron, to adapt Bret Easton Ellis' controversial novel about a deranged investment banker named Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale). In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Guinevere tells me about the parts of herself she perhaps threaded into her and Mary's version of the story, either consciously or subconsciously – as revealed in her 2023 memoir, When The World Didn't End, she grew up in a cult that promised followers they'd be whisked off in a spaceship to Venus, and there's cult-like framing of money and materialism in American Psycho that perhaps was no accident. We get into her and Mary's treatment of Patrick as an “alien who's crash-landed to Earth,” learning to fit in through the pop culture he engages in. You'll also hear about Bret Easton Ellis's version of the film that ended with Patrick Bateman singing a musical tribute to New York, and what Guinevere's take is on the upcoming remake, reported to be directed by Luca Guadagnino. For more from Guinevere, whose other work includes The L Word, Go Fish, The Notorious Bettie Page and 2018's Charlie Says, pick up When The World Didn't End, which is a great read – and head to our Patreon page!

The L Word a 20 ans.C'est une série télévisée américaine emblématique qui a marqué la culture populaire lors de sa diffusion originale de 2004 à 2009. Créée par Ilene Chaiken, Michele Abbott et Kathy Greenberg, elle raconte la vie d'un groupe de femmes lesbiennes, bisexuelles et leurs amies à Los Angeles.La série a été pionnière dans sa représentation de personnages LGBTQ+ complexes et nuancés à une époque où de tels portraits étaient rares à la télévision. Avec des personnages comme Bette Porter, Shane McCutcheon, Alice Pieszecki et Jenny Schecter, "The L Word" explorait des thèmes comme l'identité, l'amour, l'amitié, la carrière et la famille.Son impact culturel a été tel qu'une suite, "The L Word: Generation Q", a été lancée en 2019, reprenant certains personnages originaux tout en introduisant une nouvelle génération, reflétant l'évolution des expériences LGBTQ+ dans la société contemporaine.

No, not that L word—we mean luck. The thing people credit when they don't know how to explain their success—or their failures. In this episode, we're breaking down those weird twists of fate, the moments that feel too good to be random and those wild moments when everything just works out (kind of).

Today's episode features a candid and insightful conversation with actress Arienne Mandi, diving into the highs and lows of her acting journey. Mandi shares the serendipitous story of landing a manager at the mall and the hustle of building a career with guest star roles that led to series regular roles on The L Word: Generation Q and The Night Agent. She discusses the differences between self-taped and in-person auditions, the intense audition process for The L Word, and how she prepares for complex roles by exploring a character's socioeconomic background and mental state. Beyond auditions, Mandi gives an inside look at on-set life, from working with guest directors to navigating intimacy scenes in a supportive environment. She shares hilarious audition stories, advice on staying adaptable in Zoom chemistry reads, and reflections on being a multi-ethnic actress in the industry. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Arienne Mandi right here.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to be forever young. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about the overall experience of aging as a queer person in an ever-changing society. With Ellie and Leigh both having birthdays around the time of recording this episode, they thought it would be interesting to take a look at the nonlinear experience of aging and the differences between coming out back in the day and coming out now. The entire concept of queerness has evolved and changed throughout time both as a political identity and a sexual one. There is widely used language and understanding of queerness and queer identities that just did not exist in the same way when Ellie and Leigh were gaybies.  When Leigh got married, she was only able to do so because gay marriage had been legalized in the state of Massachusets (not the entire country, literally just that state). Back then, even just being able to get married at all was astounding and a huge win. And honestly, that was not that long ago! Ellie talks about how when she first showed her girlfriend The L Word, Bailey asked her if Bette and Tina were married. This feels like a wild question to us, because of course we know that it was illegal to be married when this show was actually being made and aired. But for younger gays that have grown up with gay marriage being legal for the majority of their lives, that huge shift in queer rights and overall societal attitude toward the community that we experienced just doesn't register in the same way for them.  With the landscape of queer rights being continually nonlinear and unfortunately experiencing a backslide at the moment in many areas across the globe, it is so important for queer people of all ages to share our experiences with one another.  Remember, you can give us your own answers to our Q & Gay on Instagram and follow along on Facebook, TikTok, and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod.  Find your fav tol and smol hosts Ellie & Leigh at @elliebrigida and @lshfoster respectively.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor-writer-composer Margot Rose to discuss her new autobiographical musical Unconditional, which is playing at the Skylight Theatre in Los Angeles through March 9th. The play tells the story of how Margot became a mother of twins in her forties, got a divorce from her wife and then suffered an unfathomable loss in her sixties when her daughter Nora died suddenly in a car accident. The play asks the question: How do we, as human beings, go on after a devastating loss? Margot talks about feeling like her daughter Nora would have wanted her to create this play, how she gets through the show without her emotions overwhelming her and the moments during development where she truly felt Nora's presence. Other topics include: being a sexy Hollywood lesbian in the 80's ("I was very Shane-y from The L Word"), why her kids have always called her Marm, the current Joni Mitchell renaissance, giving excellent Tooth Fairy, and the message of hope that she hopes audiences take away from Unconditional. www.unconditionalmusical.com

This week's guest is the Emmy award-winning American journalist Kate Fagan. Kate started out playing college basketball before making the move into sports journalism. She worked for the American cable channel ESPN (for brits, that's THE sports channel in the US) and wrote the number 1 NYT bestseller, What Made Maddy Run.  Then, just before she turned 40 and at the top of her professional game, Kate took a hard left. She stepped away from the career that made her famous, moved to Charleston and married her wife Kathryn Budig. Now she's written a novel The Three Lives of Cate Kay that pushes all the buttons. A dissection of success and ambition, and the true cost of living a lie, it was Reese Witherspoon's first bookclub pick of the year.  While Kate was on the Edinburgh leg of her book tour, she came to hang out in my flat and ply Sausage the cat with Dreamies (no cash has changed hands but he's always open to a conversation!)  While she was here we discussed the moment she was bitten by the ambition bug (and how she's still struggling to shake it off), the lack of female sporting role models when she was a young athlete, coming out at 30 and The stories we tell ourself about what it means to be a successful human. We also chatted age dysmorphia, crossing the 40 threshold and the conversation she wishes she'd had with her mum. She also introduced me to the concept of TODs. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

Send us a textHi friends, thanks for joining us. As promised, here is the link to a document with compiled resources to both receive aid and help in the wake of the LA Wildfires. Please help if you are able, and share resources/ways to donate online.Edit to what Haylie said when recognizing the victims of the wildfires: since this was recorded on the 12th, the death count has gone up from 11 to 25. We send our hearts out to the loved ones of the victims of this tragedy, and thank the first responders working to prevent further death.This episode, we cover the prelude to the first season finale of the L Word, where the girls hit Dinah Shore. We hear their coming out stories, get on Jenny's team for once, and Bette once again proves herself to be a walking red flag.

One January day in 1975, seven-year-old Guinevere Turner put on her best dress, hugged her favorite toy tightly, and waited for the spaceship to arrive. The world was ending and she would be saved, spirited away to Venus with the rest of her enormous and enlightened family. The prophecy failed. Instead of collapsing, the cult she was being raised in carried on. But Guinevere would soon find herself thrown out into the world beyond, where things somehow became more nightmarish than before. In this episode, Guinevere Turner joins us to talk about her remarkable memoir, When the World Didn't End. Buy the Book. Read Guinevere's piece in The New Yorker that led to her memoir.  About the Guest Guinevere Turner is an acclaimed screenwriter and director. She co-wrote the screenplays for American Psycho and The Notorious Bettie Page and, most recently, wrote the screenplay for Charlie Says. She also wrote and starred in the film Go Fish and was a writer and actor on Showtime's The L Word. An essay she wrote for The New Yorker is the inspiration for this memoir. She lives in New York and Los Angeles. A full transcript is available here at relationscapes.org.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to make two become one.  This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) kick off the new year by talking about the societally normalized weaponization of the “urge to merge” in a relationship and how, as usual, the problem is because of straight culture and cishet men. For the record, it is our belief that it is not codependent to actually like and want to be around your significant other(s)! That's kind of the point of being in a relationship in the first place.  Is it really ‘U-Hauling' just because you want to spend all your free time with your partner? Are you really ‘whipped' for being considerate of your girlfriend's emotional and physical wellbeing? We really don't think so and while the jokes may be amusing on occasion, the overarching culture is damaging for women, especially queer women.   The old “ball and chain” concept has been a staple of mainstream culture for longer than we've been alive. Think about the straight couples that you know. Have they merged their friends or do they hang out in mostly gendered groups doing separate things? We really think this comes down to straight men seeming to not really like women or spending time with them (outside of the bedroom). This negative attitude toward spending time together spilled over from the mainstream culture into lesbian relationships and we can't help but wonder how much of that cultural spill links back to popular queer media like The L Word.

When you join our Lez Hang Out family on Patreon you will gain instant access to 23 and counting full-length bonus episodes, ad-free weekly episodes, mp3 downloads of all our original songs, an invite to our exclusive Discord channel, and more! A Patreon membership is also a great gift for making your loved one's Yuletide (and next 12 months) as gay as possible.  Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is a little bit obsessed with Beanie Feldstein.  This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about the 2024 dark buddy comedy Drive-Away Dolls for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon.  Drive-Away Dolls is a chaotic queer romp set in 1999. The plot follows Jamie and Marian, two lesbian besties who could not be more different from one another, as they take a road trip to Tallahassee while being pursued by some very inefficient goons. Coen brothers movies are known for a flavor of dark humor and a level of absurdity that can be polarizing, and this one is no exception. While Leigh (and her wife) found Drive-Away Dolls hilarious, Ellie won't be rewatching anytime soon. If you're hoping to find a new ship to stay up late reading about on Ao3, you'll probably be disappointed. Although the level of lesbian shenanigans is off the charts from Jamie's L Word vibe to the sheer number of dildos on screen at any given time, the sexual chemistry between the leads is not believable. While we can't quite root for Jamie and Marian as a couple, we still found the movie enjoyable as an outlandishly gay comedy. At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original song based on Drive-Away Dolls, titled “Member of Congress”, written by Leigh Holmes Foster and produced by Ellie Brigida.

Note: I revisited a chat with the soothsayer A.M. Homes from 2022. Bestselling, award-winning author A.M. Homes, spoke to me about getting sued by J.D. Salinger, the irony of winning the Women's Prize for Fiction, and her latest "The Unfolding." A.M. Homes is a TV producer, art critic, and the author of 13 books, including the bestselling memoir The Mistress's Daughter. Her last novel, May We Be Forgiven, was the winner of the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction. Her latest novel is The Unfolding, described as a "... darkly comedic alternative history that takes us into the heart of a fractured family living in a divided country." New York Times bestselling author Salman Rushdie called the book, “A terrific black comedy, written almost entirely in pitch-perfect dialogue, that feels terrifyingly close to the unfunny truth.” A.M. Homes was a Co-Executive Producer and Writer on David E. Kelly and Stephen King's, Mr. Mercedes, and a writer/producer of the Showtime series The L Word. Her work has been translated into 22 languages and appears frequently in Art Forum, Harpers, Granta, McSweeney's, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Zoetrope. She is a Contributing Editor to Vanity Fair, Bomb and Blind Spot, and she has taught in the Creative Writing Program at Princeton. Stay calm and write on ...

David Stenn has a good “day job,” writing scripts for television (like The L Word and Boardwalk Empire) but his passion is film history. He has funded restoration of films long thought lost or unavailable, including a recent “find” featuring Clara Bow. He is also the author of two definitive biographies, Clara Bow: Running Wild, first published in 1988 and Bombshell: The Life and Death of Jean Harlow. They are both “must-read” recommendations, along with his passion project, a documentary called Girl 27 that is now available free of charge on YouTube. And if his face or voice seem familiar, it's because he appears regularly on Turner Classic Movies.
