The movie Coyote vs. Acme comes with some buzzy lore: it was famously shelved, and almost didn't see the light of day. But it's here now, and it's good and looney! It follows Wile E. Coyote when he decides to sue the Acme Corporation for manufacturing crappy, ineffective products. The cast includes Will Forte, John Cena and Lana Condor.

HBO's new DC superhero show Lanterns is not the show you think it is. It's about a couple of space cops: Kyle Chandler plays Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, a grizzled, impulsive old-timer reluctantly training up his backup, John Stewart (Aaron Pierre). Yet the story avoids cosmic sweep and spectacle in favor of a character-driven mystery and a grounded setting.

In the new film Tony, we meet chef and author Anthony Bourdain before he was in the public eye. He was a wayward, overconfident young guy, and, as played by Dominic Sessa, kind of a piece of work.

The conversation takes a personal dip into Dan's recent aquatic achievements, including a 4,000-meter swim and the creation of a Masters team during these unprecedented times. We even take a light-hearted lap around his Movember mustache escapades and the hopeful currents regarding NYC's COVID-19 situation and our cleaner urban waters.Ever wondered how the finesse of your freestyle could make waves in your swim times?

Our expedition continues as we examine the progression from thumb positions to personal stroke adaptations, all amidst my own aspirations to circumnavigate Manhattan Island and the environmental silver linings of the pandemic.The pool's edge is just the starting block; we also plunge into the competitive swim circuit from high school to college in the U.S., shedding light on the dynamic between these foundational institutions.

This episode is a conversation with Robin Greenfield, activist, forager, and author of Food Freedom. Robin has spent years experimenting with what it means to step outside the industrial food system, first by growing and foraging all of his food for a year, and now by eating only wild food.

Today's tea? The three saboteurs keeping gay men broke. We're getting real about what's actually draining your retirement savings—and no, it's not just brunch and bad decisions (though we'll get there). First up: hookup culture. Apps like Grindr have us chasing dopamine hits instead of dividends, making it harder to think long-term when instant gratification is just a swipe away.Next, let's talk designer drama. From the outside, it's giving “fabulous,” but inside the bank account? It's giving “maxed out.” The pressure to flex with luxury brands can lead to spending that's more about validation than value.And finally, we're unpacking the emotional baggage—guilt, shame, and that quiet voice saying we should be further along by now. Spoiler: You're not alone.Let's ditch the shame, ditch the scarcity, and start building the fabulous future we deserve.

Ready to say “eh” to a better retirement?

Don't Let a Market Tantrum Wreck Your Retirement Glow-UpThe stock market's throwing a fit again—cue the dramatic music and the ghost of 1930s-style tariffs. But before you clutch your pearls and cash out your 401(k), let's talk strategy. On this episode of Queer Money, we break down what all this market chaos actually means for your retirement dreams—and why it's not the time to panic.We're serving up calm, clarity, and a reminder that emotional investing is so last season. Selling in a panic? That just locks in your losses and wrecks your long-term glam plan. Instead, we spill the tea on why keeping those retirement contributions flowing—rain or shine—is the best way to build true wealth.Because here's the truth: retirement should be a well-planned runway strut, not a frantic sprint in heels during a hurricane. Takeaways:✨ Don't sell in a snit - Panic selling when the market dips is like breaking up with your sugar daddy during a minor disagreement—it might feel right in the moment, but you'll miss the long-term benefits. Hold steady and don't lock in those losses.✨ Keep those contributions coming, honey - Whether you're 25 or 65, consistency is key. Retirement investing isn't a short fling—it's a committed relationship. Keep funding those accounts, even when the market feels like it's ghosting you.✨ History's got your back (and your portfolio) - Markets have been drama queens before—wars, recessions, scandals—but they always bounce back. Think of downturns as the messy middle of a glow-up montage.✨ Check your financial feng shui - Now's a great time to review your portfolio. Is your asset mix aligned with your risk vibe and retirement goals? If not, it might be time for a little financial redecorating.Topics Covered:00:01 - The Gala Event Dilemma00:39 - The Impact of Tariffs on the Stock Market02:57 - Understanding Market Corrections and Bear Markets06:41 - Strategies for Portfolio Management During Volatility07:45 - Rebalancing Your Portfolio StrategiesMentioned in this episode:Subscribe to the Queer Money Weekly NewsletterSubscribe here to get weekly money tips, show notes, Queer Money take-aways, give-aways, access to events and more.Subscribe to the Queer Money weekly newsletterSupport the Queer Money podcastWe love bringing you new content every week.
