In this episode of Chaps Out Culture- the companion podcast to #ChapsOut- host Grant Philpott is joined again by guest Elliot Juby who highlights some important TV and films that influenced his life and helped him make sense of his journey.

From the emotional impact of ‘All of Us Strangers’ to the camp joy of ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ and the depth of ‘Bad Education’, Elliot reflects on how queer storytelling gave him the conversations and emotional connections he didn’t always have in real life. Elliot also recommends the films Y Tu Mamá También and I’m So Excited!, as well as the original UK version of groundbreaking TV series Queer as Folk as some of his favourite influences.

Elliot talks about representation, chosen family, and how LGBTQ+ stories can become a form of healing when real-life conversations are missing. A moving and personal exploration of queer culture and the importance of being seen.
