    All the content warning dear listeners! This movie involves intense homophobia and
    suicide.



    Listen to Alicia and Sarah break down the 1961 film The Children’s Hour starring
    Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLane, and some dudes neither of them care about!
    This is a tough movie but it has its redeeming factors. Well, it has one redeeming
    factor, but you’ll have to listen to find out what! Ever wonder about the Hays Code
    and/or the history of the weirdly enduring spot in pop culture that this story has?
    (It’s based on a 1934 play, which is based on a book, which is based on a real trial,
    oh my!) Tune in to learn some lesbian history and our hosts’ take on it, but be
    warned, this is a rough story.

    Episode 2: Below Her Mouth
    In this episode, Alicia and Sarah share their strong opinions about the 2016 porn film Below Her Mouth. This is a controversial movie among queers, and Sarah and Alicia do not shy away! Is it another version of Blue is the Warmest Color? Is it a thinly veiled story of toxic masculinity? A realistic portrayal of lesbian sex? A movie about bathtubs? Is there a story at all?! Tune in to find out!

  • Gal Pals Watch Disobedience
    In this inaugural episode, Alicia and Sarah discuss the highly anticipated and poorly marketed Lesbian Drama™ Disobedience starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams! They gush about character development, the portrayal of sex (and bodily fluids!), the elements of the story they thought were unique/important/great/terrible, and about gay ladies. We all love gay ladies.
