The Lavender Menace

By: Renaissance & Sunny
  • Summary

  • Two overly online nonbinary lesbian communists of color (with gaylor tendencies) spew their opinions on pop culture and media via a three part comedy variety show: first, a discussion of a listener submitted hot take. Second, analyzing a piece of media we've both consumed together. And third, recommending books/movies/TV/music/etc. to each other. Renaissance is the film stan twitter user, and Sunny is the booktuber. We think we are hilarious and have the correct opinions, and we hope you can agree! Email us at thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com for your hot take submissions or business stuff. Follow us on Twitter @TheLavenderPod for live updates of our unhinged ramblings and @thelavendermenacepod on Instagram and Tik Tok for more of our short form content in between episodes. We also have a Letterboxd @thelavenderpod, if you're into that sort of thing. (Of course you are- we're all gay nerds here!!) You can support us at patreon.com/thelavendermenace for bonus episodes, early access, exclusive content, and merch, but we truly appreciate all of our listeners and love engaging with y'all on any level. Much lesbian love and solidarity!

  • Communism is the only answer!!! + Ranking & reviewing Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweet
    Dec 25 2024

    We recorded this episode back in September when Renaissance was visiting St. Louis. Watch the full video recording + support future Sunnaissance adventures by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheLavenderMenace

    How do we deal with living under capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy? As workers, as women, as lesbians, this question haunts everything about the decisions we make for our lives. We're recent college graduates and we do not have the answers!!! But we do, as always, have thoughts and hot take responses. Please email us your hot takes for future episodes: thelavendermenacepodcast@gmail.com. We love reading your emails!

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, we have the same favorite song off of the Short 'n Sweet album. In our forthcoming episode, we discuss our Spotify Wrapped stats, and you, our dear listeners will see how our Sabrina listening habits shook out this year...!

    We're low on media recommendations this time of year, and while we do appreciate all of the media recommendations y'all send our way, the best we can offer this episode is one measly book recommendation from Sunny: I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue. Renaissance recommends street tacos.

    Much love! Happy holidays & hope you have a happy end to this rough ride of 2024.

  • Kamala lost & it's Democrats' fault. Stop blaming leftists for not voting for a genocidairess
    Nov 8 2024

    Liberals are coping with Trump's win with racism and cringe, as expected. Almost as expected as Harris's loss...! Genuinely the Democrats have a humiliation kink and are addicted to bag fumbling.

    Shaming people for not voting for a genocidal maniac meanwhile you're first in line for hell grad school registration because you think the blood of Palestinians is cheap- fascism is here and it's inside every Amerikkkan.

    Disclaimer: Renaissance had a sinus infection and yet we still bravely recorded this the day after election night. Also, please forgive the sloppy editing the turnaround time on this one was quick!

    Oh also- We say "Hitler" approximately 3000 times this episode and it was necessary each and every time
