This month we are back with another International Film: 2022's Austrian sports romance/family drama Breaking the Ice.

This month Alicia and Sarah had the supreme honor of talking to Lynn Sternberger, a very fun and cool Hollywood Writer who wrote today's film!

This year the annual holiday movie adventure has led Alicia and Sarah to another movie from Tello's deep holiday romcom catalogue, Christmas at the Ranch. You probably know everything you need to know about the plot of this movie from the genre and title alone. We had some issues with this one, but like the movie itself, there's nothing too drastic or compelling. Enjoy your holiday fluff! Further Reading: Autostraddle review by Heather Hog...
Gal Pals Watch Shiva Baby
November 03, 2023 16:12 - 51 minutes - 34.5 MBEpisode 91: Shiva Baby Hello lovely queers! Today Alicia and Sarah are talking about the wonderfully claustrophobic 2020 film Shiva Baby. The movie takes place in a tight 72 minutes over the course of one afternoon, mostly at, you guessed it, a shiva. It revolves around Hot Mess Hot Bi Girl Danielle, who gets wrapped up in a TON of drama involving her sugar daddy, her ex-girlfriend, her parents, and a screaming baby. This movie is great and we also just found out they are making it into an HB...

October 06, 2023 07:01 - 35 minutes - 23.2 MBEpisode 89: Nina's Heavenly Delights Hello lovely queers! Welcome to this month's podcast, wherein Alicia introduces Sarah to one of her favorite Lesbian Films, Nina's Heavenly Delights. This 2006 romcom was done dirty by critics and even its own producers but it's kind of a joy to watch, for the most part. It's real cheesy in the best way, with family drama, a cooking competition that needs winning, a quintessential early aughts GBF, and a good amount of kissing! Enjoy! Further reading: ...
Gal Pals Watch Everything Everywhere All At Once
September 01, 2023 05:46 - 44 minutes - 26.8 MBEpisode 88: Everything Everywhere All at Once Hi lovelies! Welcome to this month's episode, where Alicia and Sarah discuss the 2022 banger Everything Everywhere All at Once! This movie is hard to describe but you already know about it so it's fine.

Enjoy! Further reading: EEAAO Wikipedia page Autostra...
Gal Pals Watch Passing
August 04, 2023 07:01 - 45 minutes - 27.6 MBEpisode 87: Passing Hey lovely queers! Today Alicia and Sarah are back together talking about 2021's Passing, the adaptation of Nella Larson's 1929 novel of the same name. There's so much going on in this movie, none of which is explicitly gay per se, but all of which is very immersive and will make you think about the ways in which white supremacy and the racist and colonial American project harms us all! While not exactly upbeat, it's also not tragedy porn, but a nuanced portrayal of longin...
Gal Pals Watch Lust Life Love and Interview Stephanie Sellars!
July 07, 2023 21:30 - 40 minutes - 26.4 MBEpisode 86: Lust Life Love and interview with Stephanie Sellars! Hello gaybies!

Gal Pals Watch Foxfire
June 02, 2023 07:01 - 54 minutes - 32.7 MBEpisode 85: Foxfire Hey queer cuties! This week Alicia and Sarah are digging into one of the greatest queer movies of all time that is not (but kinda is) explicitly queer: 1996's Foxfire. This movie launched Angelina Jolie's (tragically not gay enough) career! And also has so many great people in it including the Jennys: Jenny Lewis and Jenny Shimizu! The latter of which we all remember as being one of Angelina Jolie's queer flames, because they met on this movie! And that's just one of the m...
Gal Pals Watch Anne+
May 05, 2023 07:01 - 32 minutes - 19.1 MBEpisode 84: Anne+ - The Film This month, we're headed to Amsterdam! In this sequel to a popular Dutch webseries of the same name, we follow Anne, a 20-something Dutch writer queer just trying to ~figure out her life~ as she cycles and walks the streets of a v picturesque city. We quite enjoyed this one and hope you do too! Further reading: Autostraddle review by Heather Hogan Anne+ website But Why Tho review by Jason Flatt Valerie Bisscheroux website
Gal Pals Watch D.E.B.S.
April 07, 2023 07:00 - 42 minutes - 30.2 MBEpisode 83: D.E.B.S Hiya gays! This month we are digging into the cult classic 2004 cinematic masterpiece (arguable), D.E.B.S! This was a formative film for Alicia, and Sarah had never seen it before, but boy is it of its time. Tune in to hear Alica and Sarah relive the disturbing moment that was the aughts and its glorification of uber-thin bodies; discuss the unknown line between camp and the male gaze; laugh about being a gay slut; and reveal the connection between this movie and Kid Rock ...
Gal Pals Watch Skate Kitchen
March 03, 2023 07:00 - 42 minutes - 29.9 MBEpisode 82: Skate Kitchen Hi sweet queeros! This month Alicia and Sarah are talking about a movie near and dear to Sarah's heart (and now Alicia's too): 2018's vibe-fest Skate Kitchen. This film is based on a real life girls skate crew in New York City and the way they ~vibe~ with each other and their sport. Also some stuff happens with like, coming of age and parental relationships and friendships and almost-romance-but-not-really. It's really good! And it has a spinoff show on HBO called ...
Gal Pals Watch Mars One
February 03, 2023 07:00 - 32 minutes - 20.7 MBEpisode 81: Mars One Hi queeros! Welcome back to the pod! This month we are discussing the 2022 Brazilian film Mars One, which can be streamed on Netflix. It follows a Black family in the early days after Bolsonaro's election, which is the background noise to their daily lives. The parents work in the service industry, the tween brother is a soccer prodigy but is actually interested in joining the now-defunct Mars One mission to colonize Mars, and the daughter is in law school and also hecka ...
Gal Pals Watch Elisa y Marcela
January 07, 2023 00:40 - 42 minutes - 27 MBEpisode 80: Elisa & Marcela Happy new year, lovely queers! To kick off the 2023 movie-watching season, this month Alicia and Sarah go back in time to turn-of-the-20th-century Spain, where these two teenage schoolgirls get really into towel play (i.e. they fall in love at school), and spend the rest of their lives either together or trying to be together. Elisa and Marcela's story is based on a true one which is pretty fascinating; they are known as the first same-sex marriage in Spain, 100 ...
Gal Pals Watch Under the Christmas Tree
December 03, 2022 03:01 - 33 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode 79: Under the Christmas Tree Happy holigays everyone! This year for our December episode we are talking about the very Lifetime Lifetime movie Under the Christmas Tree, which is the first Lifetime lesbian Christmas romcom (say it five times fast!). It stars queer lady darling Elise Bauman and Ricki Lake it takes place in Sarah’s home state of Maine, which is kind of exciting and makes it so that we can clear up some misconceptions about, for example, how far Augusta is from Camden (sp...

Gal Pals Watch Crush
July 01, 2022 07:00 - 30 minutes - 19.8 MBEpisode 76: Crush Hey queeros! Welcome back to our little lesbian-ish show, where this week Alicia and Sarah dig into a movie without much substance but a lot of charm -- Crush! This 2022 film is on Hulu and stars Rowan Blanchard and Auli'i Cravalho (who played Moana), and also Megan Mullally which is fun too. It's a ridiculous teen movie about art and romance and high school and sports and obvious mysteries, but you know what, the queers need that kind of fluff too. So join us as we discus...
Gal Pals Watch The Nowhere Inn
June 03, 2022 07:00 - 34 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode 75: Nowhere Inn Hey hi hello! Remember a while back when the gay girl internet got really excited for a second about Dakota Johnson playing a version of Kristin Stewart in a movie with and by Annie Clark/St. Vincent and Carrie Brownstein? This is that movie, and it's on Hulu! It is... weird! Join Alicia and Sarah as they try to work through their confusion and their feelings, which are mainly neutral, spoiler alert. Also, happy Pride to all who celebrate! Further Reading: Nowhere ...
Gal Pals Watch Baka Bukas
May 06, 2022 07:00 - 46 minutes - 29.9 MBEpisode 74: Baka Bukas Good day, fair queers! Today on the pod we're discussing a film out of the Phillipines, 2016's Baka Bukas! This is billed as a romantic drama, and that's pretty accurate. It follows two early-20s friends working in the entertainment industry in different roles, one of whom is out as lesbian to everyone but this friend. Who then becomes the love interest. As you do. There's a lot of stereotypes in here, including a vapid GBF and some fashun, but Alicia and Sarah think it...
Gal Pals Watch The Fallout
April 01, 2022 07:00 - 45 minutes - 30.1 MBEpisode 73: The Fallout Hello queeros, this month Alicia and Sarah are delving into a movie that will hit you in the absolute feels, fyi. The movie is The Fallout, starring the dancing Sia girl (sorry, that was reductive) Maddie Ziegler and the most amazing Jenna Ortega, and a lot of other really great people, about how a few teens cope after a school shooting. This one is heavy y'all, but the movie itself is more character-study-as-microcosm-of-this-truly-horrible-world-we-live-in-for-real t...
Gal Pals Watch So My Grandma’s a Lesbian!
March 04, 2022 07:00 - 27 minutes - 18.3 MBEpisode 72: So My Grandma's a Lesbian! Hi loves! This month, after a brief hiatus due to cHaOs, we are back and discussing a movie that requires very little brainpower to sit through! Titled So My Grandma's a Lesbian exclamation point, this Spanish movie follows some sweet older women who love each other in a very healthy way, in contrast to the shitshow of their surroundings, which include many people who are younger than them and yet much more Homophobic TM and/or wayyy to concerned about...
Gal Pals Watch Spencer
February 04, 2022 07:00 - 48 minutes - 31.3 MBEpisode 71: Hello beautiful queeros and happy Valentine's Day! (we hate it, but we also love it) Unfortunately (for some of us, like Sarah) KStew is off the market, but that won't stop us from talking about her, and today we are discussing her latest gay Christmas movie, Spencer! It is not exactly an upbeat film, and is also not that gay, but it's gayer than you might think, both explicitly and subtextually (because KStew brings gay energy to everything she does, in a good way). Also, Diana i...
Gal Pals Watch The Party
January 07, 2022 07:00 - 29 minutes - 19.7 MBEpisode 70: The Party Good evening, happy new year, and welcome to our Bougie and Pretentious evening soirée, with a side of gay.

Gal Pals Watch The Novice
December 03, 2021 07:00 - 30 minutes - 19.6 MBEpisode 69: The Novice Happy 69, queerz! This month we watch the new psychological sports thriller, The Novice, in which a college freshman is ~*very obsessed*~ with getting onto her school's varsity crew team. Some very disturbing obsessive thoughts and self harm in this one, so take care of yourselves if you watch it, but also it's pretty absorbing even if it's literally and figuratively dark as hell. There is a cute queer TA who we love (the main character is queer too btw), and Sarah re...
Gal Pals Watch Addicted to Fresno
November 05, 2021 07:00 - 35 minutes - 23.2 MBEpisode 68: Addicted to Fresno Helloooo lovely listeners! This month we're headed to Cali, but it's the part of Cali people like to dump on, aka Fresno! In this 2015 film, Natasha Lyonne and Aubrey Plaza are gay for each other but not enough. A bunch of other stuff happens including Sister Drama and Murder, but you'll have to listen (and watch the movie, you could do that too if you want) to find out what. Enjoy! Further reading: Addicted to Fresno Wikipedia page Addicted to Fresno revie...
Gal Pals Watch A Date for Mad Mary
October 08, 2021 07:00 - 36 minutes - 23.9 MBEpisode 67: A Date for Mad Mary Hiya queeros! This month we are watching an actually pretty good movie! The 2016 Irish film A Date for Mad Mary is a surprisingly great example of nuanced and bittersweet storytelling based on a one-woman play, and it is way better than its title. Tune in to hear us talk about ambiguity, love, and ~personal growth~ involving dancing and learning to show up and move on. Happy listening y'all! Further reading: A Date for Mad Mary Wikipedia page Variety review

Gal Pals Watch See You Then
September 05, 2021 02:40 - 40 minutes - 26.5 MBEpisode 66: See You Then Hey lovely queers! It's us, Alicia and Sarah! This month, we bought tickets to virtual screenings of some movies at LA's Outfest, and we love virtual screenings because we can "go to" tons of different festivals! This movie is one we saw via Outfest, and it stars Lynn Chen of Saving Face fame, which is tbh 99% of the reason we wanted to see it. This movie takes place over the course of one night (mostly) and involves a lot of ~*dramatic*~ dialogue which sometimes do...
Gal Pals Watch Set It Off
August 06, 2021 07:00 - 43 minutes - 27.3 MBEpisode 65: Set It Off Hi queeros! This month we're taking it back to 1996, to a movie that is not very gay but it does feature Queen Latifah in a queer role which is why we wanted to watch it! Tune in to hear Alicia and Sarah's thoughts about why this movie sad heist rather than fun heist, and how gay the character of Cleo is/is not?! In all seriousness, this film is not exactly fun to watch but remains timely (unfortunately) in its portrayal of police brutality and centers stories of work...

July 09, 2021 15:11 - 48 minutes - 31.6 MBEpisode 64: Dating Amber Hello beautiful queers! This month we’ve got a treat for all you 90s gays and everyone else too.

Further reading: The World to Come Wikiped...
Gal Pals Watch The Half of It
May 07, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 40.1 MBEpisode 62: The Half of It Hello lovelies! It is us, your forever gay aunts! This month we are talking about the movie that got us all through that early lil bit of the pan pizza in May 2020, The Half of It! In case for some unfathomable reason you don't know about this adorable movie, it is the long-awaited sophomore venture from ultimate fave Alice Wu (check out our episode on her first film, 2004's Saving Face). The movie is almost about sophomores but is actually about seniors in high s...

We are back with a brand-new episode of the highly anticipated (and now highly debated) movie, Happiest Season, directed by Clea DuVall (of But I'm a Cheerleader fame).

March 27, 2020 07:00 - 26 minutes - 19.1 MBEpisode 59: Wild Nights With Emily Hey all you beautifuls! We hope you are weathering this really wild and not great time. We're here this week with a movie that's the good kind of wild, Wild Nights With Emily. If you're stuck at home, which at this point I'm pretty sure we all are, and you can stream stuff, watch this!! It's so good! And then listen to us gush about how the oddball workings of Madeleine Olnek's (of Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same fame) mind worked wonders on thi...
Gal Pals Watch Tell It To The Bees
March 13, 2020 07:00 - 29 minutes - 21.4 MBEpisode 58: Tell it to The Bees Hi, 1950s lesbians! This movie is real bad but we watched it for you anyway! Taking place in postwar Britain and involving a lot of Lesbian Staring, a precocious skinny white kid, rape, racism, senseless magical realism, and weird CGI bees, this movie is not our favorite. But you can listen us get mad/laugh at it, and talk about how boring straights are! Further reading: Tell it to The Bees Wikipedia page Fiona Shaw's article on how they made her gay endin...

February 28, 2020 07:00 - 23 minutes - 17 MBEpisode 57: Princess Cyd Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about wandering around the lush north side of Chicago in summer while your writerly aunt hosts literary soirées and a cute andro barista dances with you on a rooftop?

Gal Pals Watch Lorraine Hansberry: Sighted Eyes Feeling Heart
February 14, 2020 07:00 - 30 minutes - 22 MBEpisode 56: Sighted Eyes, Feeling Heart Helloooo literary lez's and otherwise identified queers! Have you read the book Looking for Lorraine by Imani Perry? Because you should. But you can also watch this pretty good, very PBS style doc about Lorraine Hansberry, aka one of the baddest/best humans ever to be too good for America. If you don't know, Hansberry wrote the 1959 play A Raisin in the Sun, which you probably read in high school, and was a huge hit and made into a movie. But tbh that...
Gal Pals Watch Rafiki
January 31, 2020 07:00 - 35 minutes - 25.1 MBEpisode 55: Rafiki This week, we're headed to Nairobi, where two of the most lovable lesbian characters ever fall in love in a movie whose title translates to 'friend,' aka gal pal, obvs. We loved this movie, even though it has some serious homophobic violence, because it also has serious homophilic love. Enjoy, queeros! Further reading: Rafiki Wikipedia page
Gal Pals Watch The Girl King
January 17, 2020 07:00 - 38 minutes - 27.7 MBEpisode 54: The Girl King We're going even farther back in time this week, queers! Last time, we went to the 1920s with Vita and Virginia. Now, we're going to the 1630s!! This movie made by a Finnish director, taking place in Sweden, and spoken in English for some reason, is about Christina, Queen of Sweden and First Names (that last part is not real). Queen Christina was A Gay but somehow got bought (not literally, but still) by the pope and is one of only two women buried next to a pope. ...
Gal Pals Watch Vita and Virginia
January 03, 2020 07:00 - 25 minutes - 18.5 MBEpisode 53: Vita and Virginia Hello and happy new year, cute queers! For our first episode of 2020, we're going back to the other 20's -- the 1920's! We watched the 2018 adaptation of one of the most epic literary love affairs to ever be super well-documented, namely that of Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf. And, well, it could've been better. Listen to us talk about what we liked and didn't like about this long-ass movie, teary-eyed Virginia, and some random CGI -- and get some rec's...
Gal Pals Watch Season of Love
December 20, 2019 07:00 - 35 minutes - 25.5 MBEpisode 52: Season of Love Happy Holigays, y'all! This week, we're talking about the brand new shiny holiday romcom Season of Love, which was produced by (and is now streaming on) Tello Films! It's Love Actually but queer, so not like Love Actually at all. It's really cute and even though there is one very large plot hole that annoyed Sarah, the level of adorable Gay Cheese in this movie is exactly what your December heart needs. Trust us. Enjoy! (Full disclosure, we were invited to a scree...
Gal Pals Watch Collette
December 06, 2019 07:00 - 33 minutes - 24.5 MBEpisode 51: Colette Welcome to France, y'all! This week, we're talking about the 2018 Keira Knightly biopic of early-20th-century writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette aka Colette aka Queer Writer Who Hates Patriarchy. Even though she was married to, abused, and exploited by her trash husband for many years, she eventually found her way to her best queer life. This life included writing a ton of novels (that were under her name) and being an artist and an all-around badass. Which she was able to...

Gal Pals Watch Anatomy of a Love Seen
November 08, 2019 07:00 - 28 minutes - 20.4 MBEpisode 49: Anatomy of a Love Seen This week, we're talking about a meta movie that was honestly a little too meta. This 2014 movie about trying to film a lesbian love scene is high on Gay Melodrama and low on pretty much everything else. It's not the worst thing? But it's not the best. Join us as we talk about sex scenes, adolescent behavior that honestly is disappointing, being bored, fun panels at ClexaCon, and some queer animated shorts! Enjoy! Further reading: Anatomy of a Love Seen ...
