Welcome back everyone and happy International Women's Day. In this episode, we're discussing one of the first films to explicitly portray a lesbian relationship - Personal Best!

We explore 1980s queer female representation, pain and endurance, the athletics film genre and how the films of today take some inspiration from it.

Please note: This film is very confronting and does contain racist, sexist and homophobic content. Viewer discretion is advised.

Content warning: Adult themes.
