Original Sin - Chapter Two: The Spirit Queen
March 13, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 72 MBIn this episode, we’re diving into episode 2 of Original Sin: The Spirit Queen. We have lots of questions, such as: was the video of Karen a set up (and more importantly, was it even embarrassing?)? If Tabby doesn’t make a film reference every other line, will she die? Why was Imogen ever friends with Karen and Kelly? Where is the line between homage and unoriginality? Is Officer Bad Dad an omen of Toby’s future? And WHERE’S THE GAY STUFF? Send us an email at [email protected], ch...

The Surprising Depth of Lifetime's "You're Not Supposed to Be Here"
November 17, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBIn this episode, we're taking a long drive with Lifetime's gay thriller, You're Not Supposed to Be Here. Despite a low budget and at-times shoddy script, this TV movie has a surprisingly amount to say about queer micro-aggressions and paranoia, while the two real-life queer leads make a compelling (if often hard to root for) couple.

We talk the joy of queer dirtbags, the age old question of "do I want to kiss her, kill her, or be her?", whether this movie is heartfelt, Hazel as a Paige McCullers-type, the absurdity of the ending, and the many fun dynamics that a movie with lots of queers affords us.
