Today, we're taking a look at I Can't Think Straight (2008), a stand-out in the lesbian film canon for its cultural specificity and, lezbi honest, its punny title. In this episode, we talk about the mislabeling of romantic dramas as rom-coms, the lack of representation for Middle Eastern and South Asian lesbians, successful vs unsuccessful book-to-film adaptations, and - one of our favorite recurring discussion points - the importance of editing!
