Welcome to episode 5 of season 2 of The Lavender Menace podcast, where we, smart lesbian communists of color, discuss hot takes about communism lesbianism and everything fun sexy and cool, consume and discuss queer media, and recommend books movies and TV shows to each other. Today we are joined by the lovely Nour, whom you might recognize from lesbian film milf stan twitter @abitallie! Our lovely listener Ruhi submitted some meme hot takes for us to discuss from the instagram account @themcel.pill, in which we discuss the fluidity and individuality of queer identity versus the solidity and reality of lesbianism. For the second part of the episode we discuss the Hulu original series This Way Up and the disappointing lesbophobia in season 2. Sunny still can't watch TV but they for sure tried! For media recommendations, Renaissance recommends Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) and has thoughts on the racial and economic implications of the popularity of revolutionary figures in media, and on a lighter note also recommends the lesbian classic Desert Hearts (1985) which they attempted to make Sunny watch months ago. Nour recommends the movie Nell (1994) as a lighthearted 2.7 Letterboxd stars watch, and Sunny recommends the short story collection The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw published in 2020.
