Today's topic is the underrated gem, Better Than Chocolate (1999), a movie infamous for one of the most iconic erotic painting scenes we've ever seen (seriously, Google it) - but that's not all this lighthearted lesbian film has to offer! This episode covers art as activism, Canada being the ultimate film hub, the wild world of censorship of gay books, the realization that we sometimes see the mom's point, and a surprisingly sympathetic trans narrative (we stan Judy). Tune in while we get into it all!
