It's been 4 years since Finney took on the Grabber with help from the dead via phone calls, and now we're back with a new setting, a new set of murders, and tons of dream sequences! Tune in to hear us break down “Black Phone 2” — from the way it shifted the focus to Finney's sister, to how it created its own set of rules for the dream world, and whether the more emotional scenes worked well or felt over-the-top.

This week, I had to get a few things off my chest — literally and figuratively. I talk about my recent experience going to a sex party and what really goes down at those events. From the atmosphere to the energy, I share what I liked, what I didn't, and why I'd love to throw my own exclusive, high-level version — a space that's sexy, safe, and way better than what's out there now.It's candid, it's bold, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart.— Don't forget to subscribe, like, and give me my 10s in the comments! X: @LNwithSylvester

This week, I'm back after being down bad with the flu — and baby, it had me out. While I was recovering, a man decided to shoot his shot, and let's just say… it reminded me why I keep my standards high. I get into what the bare minimum looks like to me when it comes to dating, and why showing up with effort will always be attractive.It's honesty, humor, and a little shade — all in one episode.— Don't forget to subscribe, like, and give me my 10s in the comments!X: @LNwithSylvester

Lindsay Perrin is back on Dear Bianca for the third time, and this one has it all. We go deep into her journey as a surrogate for two gay dads in NYC—from the very beginning to postpartum and everything in between. She opens up about what it was like being pregnant without a partner, how it compared to her pregnancies with her two kids, and the real highs and lows she faced along the way. Of course, we couldn't skip the fun stuff: Lindsay tells me about making a Hinge profile while pregnant (yes, really), what dating was like during that time, and what she's actually looking for in a partner now. Younger women might still be her thing… but she also admits she has a thing for Kris Jenner post-surgery LOL.  And we wrap up by chatting about her 3rd annual NYC Lesbian Bar Crawl and what caused Lindsay and I had a little tiff that we hash out live on the mic. So grab your headphones, get comfy, and let's dive in.  If you love Dear Bianca, please follow, rate and review the podcast — it seriously helps the show grow.

There haven't been many sports-related horror films, but perhaps there should be considering the dangers professional athletes face both in and out of the game. “Him” brings a culty/supernatural twist to being the GOAT.

This week, I cover it all — from the wild dream I had about someone's best friend (is that good or bad?

I just got back from the most beautiful trip through Europe with my girlfriend, and while I was away, I found myself reflecting a lot—not only on life, but on Dear Bianca and where this podcast is headed. In this episode, I open up about why I've decided to rebrand, how this next chapter feels true to who I am right now, and what you can expect from me moving forward. This isn't about leaving anything behind, but about expanding—creating space for more connection, more stories, and more of the everyday moments that bring us all together. I share my heart with you about why this shift feels so important and exciting, and I hope it helps you feel even more a part of the journey. And I wrap up with details on the 3rd Annual NYC Lesbian Bar Crawl happening this weekend with Lindsay Perrin. It's not just about a night out—it's about meeting new people, celebrating our queer spaces, and building friendships that last.

How do I move forward in life without any queer representation in my life?Today we meet Troy Ford and we're talking about the queer book that saved his life: The Hobbit by J.R.R. TolkienTroy Ford is an author and editor, and the publisher of two popular newsletters: the writing-focused Ford Knows Books, and Qstack, an LGBTQIA+ Directory, Platform, and Community of newsletter writers and readers on Substack. His debut novel, Lamb, released in June 2025. Unsung, his short film with co-director Kimberly Warner of Unfixed Media, received the OurPride 2025 Innovative Storytelling Award. A native Californian, he grew up overseas in the Middle East and eventually settled in the San Francisco-Bay Area where he earned a B.A. in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley. Since 2019, he has lived in Sitges, Spain with his husband and AmStaff Terrier.In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.J.R.R. Tolkien was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over sixty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.Connect with Troysubstack: troyford.substack.comwebsite: troyfordauthor.combluesky: @mrtroyfordauthor.bsky.socialinstagram: @mrtroyfordauthorOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy The Hobbit: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780547928227Buy Lamb: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9798992613810Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Marketing for “The Conjuring: Last Rites” billed it as the end of the series… but considering it had the biggest global opening ever for a horror movie, this franchise will inevitably live on. Tune in to hear us break down all the scariest moments (one in particular that made Matt jump), whether its 135-minute running time was necessary, and how it compared, in our opinion, to the other Conjuring films.

In this episode of Dear Bianca, I step away from our usual lighthearted conversations to reflect on two tragedies that captured national attention this week: the devastating death of Iryna Zarutska on the light rail and the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. As a queer podcast community, I know these events bring up complicated emotions — grief, anger, even conflicting feelings about justice. But one thing is clear: celebrating violence is not who we are. In this episode, I talk about what these moments reveal about America's broken systems, why violence cannot be the solution, and how our LGBTQ community can stay rooted in love, compassion, and humanity, even when the world feels upside down. Join me for a heartfelt reflection on choosing joy over hate, kindness over cruelty, and remembering that our greatest power as a community has always been love.

This week, I'm back from my Atlanta trip, and I have stories to tell. With a $500 budget, I thought I'd land a decent hotel, but Atlanta had other plans — and let's just say the experience was not giving. I break down the highs and lows of my stay, the parties I hit while I was there, and why I had to cut the trip short and come back early.From budgeting blues to nightlife adventures, this episode is all about lessons learned and memories made.— Don't forget to subscribe, like, and give me my 10s in the comments! X: @LNwithSylvester

September really said, “Let's test her.” In one week, I collected a whole new friend group, blew through way too much money going out, and earned a solid “F” on my first fantasy football report card (thank you, apparently I suck at drafting). And because life loves balance, my 30s decided to show up with random knee pain every time I try to work out — cute. Add in football season officially here, fall vibes taking over, and whispers of an early winter, and honestly… we're thriving. This is your fun, slightly unhinged, very sarcastic catch-up on how September is already giving main character energy.

I was combating homophobia against one of the most powerful institutions in the world.Today we meet Tim Jon Semmerling and we're talking about the queer book that saved his life: The Deviant's War: The Homosexual vs. the United States of America by Eric Cervini.Tim Jon Semmerling is an award-winning author, a respected mitigation expert, and an attorney in Illinois.

Remake, reimagining, reboot — all of these words could be used to describe the new “Witchboard,” which is VERY loosely based on a 1986 film of the same name and directed by Chuck Russell (Director of “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors”). Tune in to hear us break down all that witchy backstory, how it compared with the original film, and how “obsessed” the main character was with that pendulum board.

Zach Cregger, Writer/Director of 2022's “Barbarian,” is back with another insanely unique horror mystery… this time about a class full of kids disappearing into the night with arms outstretched. Tune in to hear us break down “Weapons” — from all the moments that creeped us out, to every twist we didn't see coming, and the character we can't stop raving about – Aunt Gladys!

This week, I'm celebrating something big — I finally got my new car, and the excitement is real! But that's not all I'm talking about. I get into a conversation I had on X about what it means to give up a little control in a relationship — especially in a gay relationship — and why it's okay to admit you need a man.I dive into the importance of men stepping up as providers, the balance between strength and surrender, and how wanting love and support doesn't take away from your independence.

How do we live radiantly when the world seems bent on our erasure?Today we meet Caro De Robertis and we're talking about the queer book that saved their life: Notes of a Crocodile by Qiu Miaojin, translated by Bonnie Huie.Caro's books best-selling books have Stonewall Book Awards and the Golden Poppy Octavia E. Butler Award; and, they have been finalists for the PEN/Faulkner Award, Lambda Literary Award, and the Kirkus Prize.

Told through the eyes of an anonymous lesbian narrator nicknamed Lazi, this cult classic is a postmodern pastiche of diaries, vignettes, mash notes, aphorisms, exegesis, and satire by an incisive prose stylist and major countercultural figure.Connect with Carowebsite: caroderobertis.cominstagram: @caro_derobertisOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy Notes of a Crocodile: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781681370767Buy So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781643756875Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Tune in to hear us break down all those intense scenes (and there were many), how committed the two leads were, that perfect song played at the end, and how the film is a metaphor for issues we've all experienced in relationships.

Picture this: Coldplay hits the stage, the arena cameras sweep the crowd, and—boom—two people busy having an affair go full-PDA under 60,000 phones. In this week's Dear Bianca I roast that Jumbotron-level misfire and wonder why anyone thinks “secret” and “stadium” belong in the same sentence. Meanwhile, I pulled a ten-hour “let's just go to Italy” stunt—booked, realized I have too much going on, cancelled, and now I'm babysitting €1200 in cash. Next stop? Vegas. Almost four months alcohol-free and betting on mineral water instead of martinis. We also peel apart three tracks from Fletcher's new album, Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me. Do you think you can love someone from a D i s t a n c e?  Also, is anyone else ready for Fall? I'm craving hoodie season.   Follow Bianca: @dearbiancapodcast Have a topic you want me to cover or a story to share? Email me: dearbiancapodcast@gmail.com xx B

Tune in as we break down “The Home” — from what we've seen many times before (a creepy hospital-like setting), to what was totally unexpected (that insane ending), and all those eye-centric scenes that made Matt squirm.

Jordy is a professor in the Department of English and Associated MFA Faculty in the Program for Poets and Writers at The University of Massachusetts-Amherst.In Confessions of the Fox, Jack Sheppard and Edgeworth Bess were the most notorious thieves, jailbreakers, and lovers of eighteenth-century London. Yet no one knows the true story. Their confessions have never been found. Until now. Reeling from heartbreak, a scholar named Dr. Voth discovers a long-lost manuscript—a gender-defying exposé of Jack and Bess's adventures. But is it autobiography or a hoax? As Dr. Voth is drawn deeper into Jack and Bess's tale of underworld resistance and gender transformation, it becomes clear that their fates are intertwined—and only a miracle will save them all.Connect with Ilana and Jordywebsite: ilanamasad.cominstagram: @ilanaslightlyignorantbluesky: @ilanaslightlynewsletter: buttondown.com/imasadcriticwebsite: jordy-rosenberg.cominstagram: @jordyrosenbergOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy Confessions of the Fox: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780399592287Pre-order Beings: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781639737000Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Tune in to hear all about what inspired this 1999 cult classic, what it was like working with its all-star cast so early in their careers, and the reason behind that very homoerotic popsicle scene we all loved.

Before debuting her theory of why doing things is straight, Tessa walks us through some common misconceptions about men, women, mental health, the entertainment industry, relationships, and the concept of communication.
