  • Queers and the Academy Awards
    Apr 18 2021

    Monica and Maria discuss how queer folks have been represented throughout the history of the Oscars. We dive into queer people who have won competitive awards, movies with queer themes that took home best picture, and the long list of LGBT characters in film and the not so LGBT actors who won best actor or actress for playing those roles.

  • Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
    Mar 22 2021

    Monica and Lizzy talk about the French historical sapphic heartbreaker of a film that tells the story of an affair between an aristocrat and a painter commissioned to paint her portrait. This film is bursting at the seams with lesbian sexual tension and we're living for it. We go into the making of this film, the symbolism behind it, and the way it made us feel in our hearts (and other places too.)
