Episode 55: We Don't Need No Stinking Gender


Listen Later

We didn't just change the logo to the pride flag and move on, this week the meat of our episode is 5 maybe lesser known (and some pretty well known) more recent titles that delve into LGBTQIA+ themes and issues. While there's a lot of different interests within that acronym, we tried to suggest shows that represent a number of groups be it homosexual, trans, asexual, or nonbinary and most importantly we tried to stay away from shows that fetishize or stereotype queer characters. With that being said there's always room for improvement, and we address that as well and talk a tiny bit about what we'd like to see improve in the genre as far as representation goes. And that's not the only pride segment we'll run, in fact we've got at least one planned for every episode this month. But before we get to all that goodness, we've got a little news like usual and we've also got a review on the new Netflix title Eden, what we thought of it, who it might appeal to, and how it is or isn't setting itself apart from other shows with cute robots. Power Rankings have recently been updated over on the site so go check it out if you haven't paid a visit in a while.
