And of course, we talk about the femslash pairings, because how could we miss those f/f ships?

This week, we're here to talk about Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae! Well......... We spent a lot of the time talking about Grimes, sadly. But hey, we're just trying our best in this busy time.

Hear ye, hear ye!!! Our listeners have spoken, and we're here to pass along the message - these are the female characters who the masses think should have a girlfriend! Of course, we share our own opinions, too From Naruto to Harry Potter to Frozen, we cover it all - and then some.

This week, we tackle the Twilight Saga, the infamous novel and film series about vampires, shapeshifting werewolves, and teen romance.

What IS Queerbaiting? We just don't know... But we do know that it feels like shit, and we have so many examples to talk about, from Super Girl to Fire Emblem, from Supernatural to When Marnie Was There. We even talk about Spongebob's queercoding for a hot second. We ARE ugly and we are proud.

The noted KATIE HOOPZ joins the chat this week to talk about MTV's reality show, Are You The One (season 8). 16 sexually fluid people are looking for love and sharing a house while they try to find their "perfect match" - we talk about all the personalities, all the relationships, and the good stuff this show does for queer rep!!!

Some sex mentions this ep, plus CW for Bound itself for torture, gore, and homophobia. We watched (and LOVED) Bound (1996) by the Wachowski sisters! We would totally recommend it. Unfortunately, we accidentally spent a lot of this episode just quoting other people and talking about Spy Kids 2, but hey, it's our podcast.

CW: discussion of childhood trauma as represented in children's shows. Welcome to Etheria! We have so much to say about a show we both really enjoy - She-Ra and the Princesses of Power!

We're here to talk about the movie EVERYONE is talking about this season: Happiest Season, starring Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis. We have some opinions, but also none, and we talk about a lot of other Christmas movies, as well as other movies that just make us sad. Happy holidays if you celebrate!

CW: Incest mention. With so much timely and relevant WLW media to discuss, we chose to talk about... A relatively obscure anime series from almost 20 years ago? Okay. You don't need to watch Maria Watches Over Us to listen to us talk about Yuri / Girls Love manga and anime, you just need to be ready to hear about melodrama!
