Gay Breakfast

Hope everyone had a good, responsible, and safe holiday! Today we're discussing the new LGBTQ documentary on HBO max, Transhood. This documentary shows that trans children are finally starting to get the recognition and attention from family that they deserve, but we're still here to discuss the incredibly rocky road ahead. Tune in for our thoughts on this compassionate and hopeful look at trans youth.

Today we discuss an element of queer life, and something that's personal to a lot of us - the feeling that you've waited "too long" to come out or be true to yourself. Any of us who feel this way are much less alone than we might think, so let's talk about it. It's never too late to be true to yourself and we've all got each other's backs!

We get a little nostalgic today as we discuss the new sequel/spinoff to our old standby Inuyasha, Half-Demon Princess Yashahime. Stories by author Rumiko Takahashi have had some issues when it comes to portrayals of queer characters or themes, but we think this new endeavor might just break away from that a little bit. Just a bit. ;) It's time we had more queer perspectives on the Inuyasha franchise anyway.

Now that Netflix's series Kipo & the Age of Wonderbeasts has wrapped up, we can do a full series review! This show is a good, unabashedly queer time with great themes for its young audience. If you wanna hear more queer perspective on Kipo, give us a listen.

Early Halloween episode! Time to reminisce about Disney's Hocus Pocus and examine why queer people of all walks continue to be drawn to this fabulous Halloween flick! We'll return to our regularly scheduled beginning-of-the-week episode release after this ;) Happy spooky season!

Today we're revisiting our panel from Crunchyroll Expo, Queer New Animal. This is a more polished version of our own episode on Brand New Animal and it's easily-interpretable queer themes. This is our first time bringing back a convention show as an episode, so we'll see how it goes from here. Stay tuned next week for another regularly scheduled recording and HALLOWEEN episode!

We dive into the webcomics world today and discuss Her Tale of Shim Cheong, a sapphic retelling of an old Korean morality tale (spoilers: this version is better). This is a largely SPOILER-FREE review because we want you all to go read it yourselves and also Judith hasn't finished yet.

Is Infinity Train queer? Come on, just about anything can be if you tilt your head the right way, and this one has given us lots to work with! We discuss the heavy themes of Cartoon Network and HBO's awesome show (which you should all support!) through an LGBTQ+ lens. Grab your tickets and climb aboard!

Tonight we're avoiding spoilers and discussing the newest movie from Cartoon Saloon studio - Wolfwalkers! Will it please everyone who wanted more wolf movies when they were kids? Yes! Does it have plainly visible queer themes? YES! Even if you haven't seen it, give us a listen because we're not spoiling and we're hoping to hype you for this movie!

Today we discuss Disney's 1998 animated film, Mulan, and what it meant to each of us as queer teens watching it for the first time. For all its flaws, this is much more of a film worth fighting for than any version Disney has tried to follow it with.

CW: Later in the podcast we discuss cancer treatment, unwanted pregnancy tests, and gender dysphoria. If any of these topics make you feel uncomfortable, please skip the last few minutes of the podcast.
