Tune in as Pride Month advances onward with the focus that 2CC is giving to queer media! For this second episode of June, Joshua R. Pangborn (Sidekick Productions) re-collaborates with the podcast for a review and recap of Bit, the 2019 horror movie about an 18-year-old trans woman who moves to LA and encounters a lesbian vampire gang that's on a mission to hunt down predatory men. Subverting vampire tropes, subtly handling trans rep, and how interesting it is for a cishet man to helm this queer movie emerge as a few of the talking points for this episode.Written and directed by Brad Michael Elmore, Bit stars Nicole Maines, Diana Hopper, Zolee Griggs, Friday Chamberlain, Char Diaz, James Paxton, Greg Hill, Julia Voth, M.C.

It's time to witness what you were previously denied as a reader. Jadzia Axelrod returns to the podcast, talking full spoilers about her new weekly DC Pride event series, Justice League: Dream Girls. Done in collaboration with co-writer Nicole Maines, illustrators Nicola Scott, J. Bone, Ted Brandt, Ro Stein, and a mess load of others, this series reunites superheroes Galaxy and Dreamer immediately after the harrowing events of Justice League Intergalactic. They awaken as princess and champion of the Amazons, rescuing someone who sure looks a lot like Steve Trevor before being propelled into a dramatically different, animated Gotham landscape. Reality and unreality blend together. This week's episode offers a perfect opportunity for reflection: Jadzia Axelrod contemplating the non-linear path that her precious character has taken from Galaxy: The Pretties Star to Hawkgirl to Galaxy: As the World Falls Down to Justice League: Dream Girls. We discuss why her Galaxy pairs so beautifully with Nicole Maines' Dreamer, the tricky oppositions these two characters faced after Justice League Intergalactic, and how their trip through iconic DC storylines in Dream Girls reveals the brilliance and joy readers were previously denied in their comics. Justice League: Dream Girls #1 is out now from DC Comics, with each issue in the four-issue event hitting every Wednesday in June. It's written by Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Mains, illustrated by Nicola Scott, J. Bone, Ted Brandt, and Ro Stein, colored by Marissa Louise and Dearbhla Kelly, and lettered by Jodie Troutman and Frank Cvetkovic.

Every single day living as a trans person in the US is an unending battle on dozens of different fronts, and it all adds up and takes a toll. Let's talk about what it's like when you're attacked every day, from every angle, and the constant fight that bigoted (or indifferent) cis people have turned our lives into. Actress and writer Nicole Maines returns to discuss deciding our own paths, and how there's a million and one ways to be a person. Listen up, Beverly!

In this bonus episode of Out To Get You, we fold space and time for Transgender Day of Visibility in order to rerelease our 2023 pre-launch collaboration with the Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network as we take on Good for Her Horror and Brian Michael Elmore's Bit.Content Warning:This episode contains discussions of rape and sexual violence, drug abuse, kidnapping, suicidality, homophobia, transphobia, referring to vampire clans as covens, and other themes that may be sensitive for listeners. This episode was recorded on January 10th, 2023, which seems like a world away for the trans people in your lives. Since that day, 44 more trans people have been murdered simply for the crime of existing. This year is already proving heartbreaking and fatal for our community. While this podcast is for entertainment, it is impossible to completely decouple ourselves from the campaigns of violence we face, in the streets we live and in the legislatures which paint us as unfit and as threats to society, as well as the resulting anguish and rage they continue to produce. We ask that you consider your emotional and mental health before engaging with this episode. [Originally posted Mar 13, 2023 on the Anatomy of a Scream podcast network. The situation has since continued to deterioriate.]In this episode, we explore the intoxicating nature of power through the lens of minority representation, fascist dehumanization, and corrupting influences, in this blood-soaked trans teen horror-comedy starring Nicole Maines, Diana Hopper, Zolee Griggs, and more.Follow Anatomy of a Scream for more great minority-led podcasts on all your favorite frights.Follow Out To Get You on Bluesky and Patreon.Send your questions and comments to OutToGetYouPodcast@gmail.com.

Jace is joined by Adam Huss and Nicole Maines to talk about Truth Man. Truth Man is a well-meaning but over-the-top superhero whose only real “power” is that he can't help but tell the absolute truth at all times. That sounds noble, but in practice it leads to a lot of awkward, uncomfortable, and often hilarious situations where Truth Man blurts out things no one wants to hear. Adam talks about how the comic spun out of a film that was in development but then hit a snag due to the writers strike. Nicole talks about how she became involved in the project and there is pole

Jace catches up with Nicole Maines at SDCC 2025 regarding her Secret SIx series. They chat about the triangle that is Jon, Jay and Dreamer, whether Jay will go full villain and the dynamic between Catman and Deadshot. There's lots to breakdown and Nicole comments on a lot of it including the nods to the beloved Secret Six run from Gail Simone. Plus Nicole teases a new story coming later this year.

Huge week news wise. Captain America Brave New World hits theaters. Play Station State of Play revealed tons of new looks at much anticipated titles including Metal Gear! Amazon announced a renewal of Rings of Power. Then, Nicole Maines, author of Secret Six for DC and actress from the CW's Supergirl joins Rosie and Jason to discuss her comic book origins and what it's like crafting a trans superhero Dreamer for today's audience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's guest is nothing short of iconic—Nicole Maines, the first-ever trans superhero on TV. She made history playing Dreamer on Supergirl, and she's been a trailblazer ever since. Nicole's also a fierce advocate, author of Better Except When It Gets Worse, and a comic book nerd in the best way possible. We dive into her groundbreaking role, the highs and lows of being a visible trans advocate, and the chaos of diving into fandoms like D&D and manga. With her sharp wit, huge heart, and some truly unhinged D&D character ideas, we get deep on representation, resilience, and cutting through toxic positivity. Basically, Nicole is a superhero both on and off the screen.   Connect with Nicole:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicoleamaines/  Check out her book: https://www.amazon.com/Gets-Better-Except-When-Worse/dp/0593243129    Connect with Liz:   Website: https://www.listentoliz.com/   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@listentoliz415 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/listentoliz/ , https://www.instagram.com/coolcoolcool/    For exclusive content, support Liz on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/listentoliz      

Host Jason Blitman is joined by trans icon and Supergirl star Nicole Maines talking about her new book It Gets Better… Except When It Gets Worse, Disney movies, and the transformative power of storytelling. Guest Gay Reader Sammy Rae shares her unique reading interests and shares more about the exciting release of her band Sammy Rae and the Friends' first full-length album.Nicole Maines is an award-winning actress, writer, and transgender rights activist. She was the anonymous plaintiff in the Maine Supreme Judicial Court case Doe v. Regional School Unit 26, in which she argued her school district could not deny her access to the female bathroom for being transgender and won, the first such ruling by a state court. That case and her family's story was the focus of Amy Ellis Nutt's bestseller Becoming Nicole. As an actress, Maines played Nia Nal/Dreamer on the CW's hit series Supergirl and Lisa in Showtime's Yellowjackets.For as much as Sammy Rae & The Friends may be a band, this collective of dreamers and artists considers themselves a family first. That all-for-one and one-for-all camaraderie ignites their unforgettable and can't-miss live shows, which serve as a catharsis for both the musicians and their fervent audience. Fronted by singer/songwriter Sammy Rae and honed through years of touring, the group is capable of flourishing in any spotlight thanks to its signature blend of palpable chemistry, deft virtuosity, and vocal fireworks. BOOK CLUB!Use code GAYSREADING at checkout to get first book for only $4 + free shipping!

We also explore the exciting world of queer and trans representation in comics, from Dreamer's groundbreaking presence in the DC universe to her interactions with other beloved characters like Galaxy, the Prettiest Star. Plus, we share our thoughts on potential future crossovers and dream (pun intended) up some epic team-ups we'd love to see. For those looking to avoid spoilers, our plot summary section begins at 6:54 and ends at 10:58. So, whether you're a seasoned comic book reader or new to the world of superheroes, grab your cape and join us as we continue transcending boundaries and celebrating the vibrant world of trans, non-binary, and genderqueer representation in comics.

Jace and Rocky chat about the DC titles for the week of March 12, 2024. It's a fantastic week with just about every book being worth a read. Highlights are The Outsiders, though Jace rates it much higher than Rocky, Suicide Squad Dream team where Nicole Maines really impressed and Sinister Sons which paves the way for a great series. We expect years of great interactions from Sinson and Lar-Zod going forward.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast for people who see dead people by people who see dead people. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why the 2022 (slightly obscure) film Darby and the Dead Should've Been Gay. For anyone unfamiliar with this movie, it not only stars Auli'i Cravalho as Capri (short for Capricorn, the queerest name of all time), but also features a trans cheerleader played by the one and only Nicole Maines! The film centers around main character Darby who thanks to a freak accident is able to see and communicate with dead people. She is a full time Hot Topic gay and afterschool medium who uses her powers to help “deados” move on. Naturally this means she is not exactly a hit with the kids in her high school, especially when it comes to ex-bestie and current super popular cheerleader Capri. But things begin to shift from enemies to lovers when Capri dies by accidental electrocution and turns to Darby for help. In addition to helping Capri, Darby is also getting to know the new kid at school, Alex, who spends pretty much the entire movie attempting to come out to her (as able to see dead people). In the end, Darby and Alex do pair off, mainly because Capri had to move on eventually and felt she could do so after confessing her love for Darby. We debate about whether Alex and Darby are both queer and in a straight-passing relationship with each other or if they are fully bearding.  We know one thing for sure, Darby and the Dead Should've Been Gay.  Follow us on the platform formerly known as Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Moving one character from one medium to another is a complex task. Nicole Maines was desperate to see her Dreamer fighting alongside the other DC Comics superheroes. However, when she pitched the idea to the publisher, she didn't expect them to ask her to participate in that process. Quickly, Maines found herself as writer of Dreamer's destiny, and such responsibility was as thrilling as it was daunting. Already, Dreamer has appeared in Superman: Son of Kal-El and the DC crossover event, Lazarus Planet. She's rapidly becoming an essential element within the comics universe. Next year, she'll get some serious space to explore with the original graphic novel Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story, written by Nicole Maines and illustrated by Rye Hickman. At the San Diego Comic-Con International, we sat down with Maines to discuss her hopes and dreams for Dreamer. She reveals the critical advice that fellow comic scribe, Tom Taylor, delivered when her stress levels were high. Nicole Maines also reflects on how moving Dreamer through the comic book medium revealed unique aspects about the character she had not considered previously. Maines has been bitten by the comic book bug. She's here to stay, and she's delighted about the possibilities - for herself and Dreamer.  If you haven't already, listen to Nicole Maines' previous appearance on Comic Book Couples Counseling, talking about Lazarus Planet alongside Mark Waid and Leah Williams.  Remember, you can now pre-order Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story at your local comic book shop.

Movies are Gay all month long and today's selection features a squad of lesbian vampires who recruit our transgender protagonist with the goal of obtaining power that they reserve only for the ladies. No vampirism for the dudes out there scaring the hoes. Nuh uh. Who suck the blood from the world? GIRLS! An…interesting flick but muddled in lore with an overarching theme you could come up with after one week of a gender studies class. We're talking about Brad Michael Elmore's modern vampire tale in the 2019 low budget LGBTQ horror, “Bit” starring Nicole Maines. How does it work? How DOESN'T it work? We got some opinions and we can't help but scheme on how we might have approached such a movie. Hear us go on about it and stay with us and embrace the fact that MOVIES ARE GAY.

Nothing has a greater influence over your life than your thoughts; rather they are negative or positive. This is true for Superman, Lex Luthor, Brad Gullickson, Lisa Gullickson, Joshua Williamson, and Jamal Campbell. On this week's podcast, we chat with the two comic creators about Clark Kent's impact on their lives as well as his impact on the greater DC Comics universe. Their Superman #1 hits comic shops this Tuesday, and with it comes an exciting new take on the character and those that flock around him. Williamson and Campbell's narrative positions the Clark Kent/Lex Luthor relationship forward without side-stepping those other supporting roles we adore. The first issue actually opens with Pete Ross's influence on a young Clark and examines how that friendship lingers into Superman's adulthood. How these relations shape each other allows us to consider the power friends and strangers have on us, and beautifully, Williamson and Campbell were willing to go there with us. Our conversation also considers Superman's importance as a cultural icon, and we dig into the difficulty of steering such a symbol. We explore whether there is a romance between Lex Luthor and Clark Kent while teasing out some details as to where Joshua Williamson and Jamal Campbell are possibly pushing their caped crusader. Also, what kind of tunes does Pete Ross place on a mixtape for a young Clark Kent? Williamson has definite opinions. So do we. Keep up to date on all things Joshua Williamson by following him on Twitter, Instagram, and Substack. Follow Jamal Campbell through his Twitter, Instagram, and Website. Superman #1 from DC Comics arrives on 2/21.

The latest DC Comics event is here - Lazarus Planet! Spearheaded by Mark Waid and Gene Luen Yang and carried forth by writers like Nicole Maines and Leah Williams, the crossover radically alters DC's science-based and magic-based heroes. Chaos rains, and chaos reigns. Heroes transformed. Secrets revealed. Powers unleashed. As seen in Batman vs. Robin #4, Lazarus Island has exploded. Dangerous, magical chemicals spread across the globe, catastrophically changing the atmosphere and the heroes who fight below it. The DC Comics Universe will never be the same again. And you will absolutely become a fan of Monkey Prince, Dreamer, and Power Girl if you're not already. On this week's episode, we're extremely excited (and we do mean extremely) to have Mark Waid back on the show, this time talking about our favorite father/son caped crusaders, Bruce Wayne and Damian Wayne. We break down where various DC characters fall on the magic/science spectrum and where Mark Waid falls too. We're also thrilled to have Nicole Maines and Leah Williams on the podcast, discussing their contributions to the Lazarus Planet: Assualt on Krypton one-shot. The book establishes a new world order for their characters, Dreamer and Power Girl. Folks who will become increasingly essential in the wake of the Lazarus Island eruption. Maines and Williams also consider their relationship with science and magic and how it informs their roles as creators. Maines obviously has a unique bond with Dreamer, having performed as her on the CW's Supergirl. We chat about that responsibility and why it's important for her to be the character's caretaker in the comics. Lazarus Planet: Assault on Krypton is Leah Williams' introduction to DC Comics work. She's positively giddy about pushing Power Girl through the wringer in the upcoming issues of Action Comics, and she assures us that the Kryptonian's journey begins right here with the Lazarus Island fallout. The changes experienced in the one-shot forever mutate our understanding of Power Girl; she's not just a fringe universe Supergirl.  Both Lazarus Planet: Alpha and Lazarus Planet: Assault on Krypton are currently available wherever fine comics are sold.
