66 The Real World San Francisco

June 24, 2019Podcast

CW: This episode contains discussion of homophobia and AIDS.

It’s the last week of PRIDE month, and we are embracing our MTV generation roots by joining the seven housemates of The Real World San Francisco. This 1994 season was what made The Real World the hit it became, and we chose it in honor of housemate Pedro Zamora, a gay man who was living with AIDS at the time and died shortly after filming.

65 The Watermelon Woman

June 17, 2019Podcast

We’re back with another episode for our month of Pride-themed content that is queer as fuck. This week we talk about the 1996 film “The Watermelon Woman” written, directed by, and starring Cheryl Dunye.

We also dig into Jen’s thoughts about queerness and how it relates to her experience in Montana.

And of course, the show opens with a fan-favorite segment about a fan-favorite comic. It’s a classic!

64 The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

June 13, 2019Podcast

This week we’re talking about the epic and iconic 1994 Australian film “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” as part of our Pride themed month of episodes! This is a Patreon-supporter suggested episode. Thank you Serai and Josh! For just $5 a month, you too could suggest an episode topic and then you’d get to listen to us talk about it. It’s the best deal in podcasting.

There’s a lot of other great content in this episode as well including a tear-jerking and beautiful voicemail from Nicky (who you may remember from our Space Jam episode). Nicky shares a story about what this film meant to her family and we guarantee you’ll cry unless you’re a robot person. We start it all off with another recap of a comic strip Jen missed and we end the episode with a promo for an amazing podcast called Gender Reveal!

Thank you all for being patient with us and we will have another episode up soon!
