Joseph contemplates Guy Fieri introversion. Lizy recounts penguin trauma. We realized Kevin James was getting more airtime than the legendary Freddie Mercury - a true bicon - and it's time we fixed that.

Lizy conquers the heterosexual gauntlet! Joseph has Jennifer Aniston face blindness! Natasha Lyonne has range! She also had a raging case of the lesbians according to her parents in But I'm a Cheerleader. While a story about a teenager going to conversion therapy camp may sound dark, this is actually satire done well, and we both enjoy this movie so much, we thought we'd share our thoughts with you. Let's get in the spirit by putting on our bifocals to discuss But I'm a Cheerleader, satire, and queer identity.

Joseph proposes a sequel series. Lizy determines the worth of a child. Wandavision inspired us to revisit some classic sitcoms, and it would seem that the heteros are upseteros. Are they okay? We trade in some rose-tinted glasses for good old-fashioned bifocals in order to find out as we break down some upsetting tropes, themes, and character decisions across 70 years of sitcoms.

Lizy contextualizes Ving Rhames. Joseph mourns the year 2007. We were a little too nice during our last episode, and we've got to draw the line somewhere. Adam Sandler has had it too good for too long, don't you think? As board-certified bisexuals, it's our moral responsibility to knock him down a peg. Join us as we put on our bifocals to deconstruct I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Adam Sandler, and other heterosexual disasters.

Joseph grills up some bratwursts. Lizy adopts Jojo Siwa. Dan Levy had us thinking about the queer experience these past couple weeks, so it just felt right to have a little get-together to share our thoughts. We invite you to pull up a chair as we put on our bifocals to discuss Happiest Season, Schitt's Creek, and our experiences with coming out.

Lizy crushes on aliens. Joseph takes a stand against Tolkien. Our last episode was grounded in reality, so we thought we'd switch things up and look to the stars. Join us in putting on our bifocals to discuss Star Trek, The Orville, and progressivism in sci-fi television.

Lizy criticizes a musical. Joseph scolds a dead man. We can all agree that 2020 was 525,600 minutes too long, but we've made it to 2021! As we enter the new year, we put on our bifocals to take a look at RENT, its portrayal of queer characters, and the realities of the AIDS epidemic.
