On this episode, special guests Scott and Pete from Movies That Made Us Gay podcast celebrate this quintessential Judy masterpiece from start to finish. Highlights include the Trolley song, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and the truly unhinged Halloween sequence. Buckle in! (Warning: This movie will make you gay.)

Greetings, listeners! We're so happy that you're here to join us after a brief hiatus. Kristen is back in peak Kiki form, and we couldn't be happier to present this episode on the gorgeous 2016 documentary "The Eagle Huntress," featuring our amazing friend Bolor Lkhaajav!

From the Sony Classics synopsis: "The Eagle Huntress follows Aisholpan, a 13-year-old girl, as she trains to become the first female in twelve generations of her Kazakh family to become an eagle hunter, and rises to the pinnacle of a tradition that has been handed down from father to son for centuries."

Bolor was born and raised in Mongolia. She is a researcher specializing in Mongolia, Northeast Asia, East Asia, and the Americas. Her research interests cover foreign policy, security, governance, economy, and social issues. Bolor's research work has appeared in a range of publications in multiple languages. She is a Researcher and Writer at The Diplomat magazine. Bolor is currently writing a book on Mongolia's international relations. You can find her at https://www.bolorlkhaajav.com/

Can it be 2023? We hope, Dear Listeners, that you rang in the New Year with much joy and festivity! Shall we celebrate with part two of Emily's recording with the wonderful Audrey and Laurel of Sapphic Culture Club? In this episode we discuss (you guessed it) Céline Sciamma and Adèle Haenel once more!

Our topic this time is Céline's first feature, the 2007 coming-of-age drama Water Lilies (French title: Naissance des Pieuvres, or The Birth of Octopuses). In this sensitive and impactful portrait of youthful love and desire, we follow teenaged protagonist Marie (Pauline Acquart) as she meets and falls in love with the beautiful and elusive Floriane (Adèle Haenel), a synchronized swimmer. This film has many of the hallmarks we've come to admire Celine for, and terrific performances from the three female leads. We hope you enjoy!
