Happy Red (Taylor's Version) release everyone! We are so excited to share our thoughts on the All Too Well (1o minute version) short film and our ranking of the album in episode 2 season 3 of The Lavender Menace podcast. But before Sunny and Renaissance get into all that, we discuss three (3!) of y'all's hot takes that answer the following questions: is compulsory heterosexuality a lesbian exclusive experience? (Short answer, yes.) How are millennial cis bisexual white women the most delusional people alive? (Other "leftist" podcast hosts have such shitty takes, unlike us...) Why do y'all bully minors over the most ridiculous things? (You need to deprogram yourself from imperialist propaganda.) After our hot takes, we discuss all our Taylor Swift thoughts now that we've listened to Red TV and watched her directorial debut of the short film featuring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien. We defend her against white feminist allegations, queercode her work as always, and contextualize the re-release of this seminal album within her career. Finally, we give each other quick recommendations, Renaissance's Scenes of a Marriage and Sunny's Spencer, one of which will be the basis for our next episode! Hint hint.
