In this episode, we dive deep into the intricate relationship between film, media, and pop culture and its influence on our perception of masculinity. Join us as queer film critic Manuel Betancourt takes us on a captivating journey, shedding light on how media shapes our desires and dictates the ideals of manhood. Discover the ways pop culture has tried to define and redefine the boundaries of what men can be, wear, do, and yearn for. Manuel delves into the dual portrayal of masculinity as both erotic and aggressive, and the often overlooked influence it has had on young gay men's perceptions of body image from a tender age. As we navigate these waters, we also uncover ways to decondition and broaden our understanding of masculinity as presented in films and TV series.

Have you been ghosted before? Or, have you ghosted people yourself? In this episode, I share the various ghosting scenarios when dating and the reasons people ghost in the first place. Rather than rejecting someone by ghosting them, I share two frameworks for rejecting people in a kinder way on dating apps and real life, as well as scripts that you can use to do so. We all deserve to be treated with kindness when dating, and I hope the tips I share will help you have a more pleasant dating experience.

Todd shares why gay men are obsessed with their weight and appearance, his theory about why many guys are afraid of fat people, getting fetishized for being fat, his journey of accepting himself, and how he deals with comparison.

In this solo episode, I share with you the benefits of being single. We live in a world that’s constantly pushing us to be in a relationship, and whereas it can be fulfilling to do so, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Simultaneously, even if you want to be in a relationship but are currently single, there’s nothing wrong with that, or with you. I’ve been single for my entire adult life. I’ve judged myself and have been judged by others for it, for so many years. It’s only recently that I’ve managed to let go of my fears and limiting beliefs and embrace the benefits of my singlehood.
