Quick little announcement to let you all know that this coming May and June 2024, we shall begin doing weekly re-caps of Interview with the Vampire season 2 on our Patreon.

Please consider joining us at Patreon.com/GayVClub.

We support ourselves when needed, but for the most part we use the funds to support LGBT cinema and television by purchasing film festival tickets, attending screenings, and subscribing to streaming services. This way we can keep up to date with the latest LGBT stories, and tell you, our lovely listeners, about them, as well as support our fellow LGBT writers and filmmakers.

In addition to our upcoming recaps, main-tier patrons also get access to 4 years worth of bonus episodes. These include: our unreleased OFMD episode, as well as other bonus episodes on topics such as LGBT Documentaries, Xavier Dolan’s Filmography, Our Favourite LGBT Books, TFATW and Queerbaiting For Publicity, our thoughts on the Gaylor Conspiracy, Rhaenicent in House of the Dragon, High School Media, Censorship In Queer Adaptations, gay people in Zombie media, and The L Word.

Wishing you a very late and happy new year! As is our new year tradition, here's our end-of-year wrap-up going over all the LGBT media we managed to catch in 2023. As there was a LOT of queer television in 2023, we've once again decided to split our wrap-up into 2 parts. This one is for television, and our next episode on film shall be out shortly!

We're back at long last, with "Is This Allowed????", an episode looking at the significance of sex scenes in LGBT cinema where we talk about how things such as the male gaze, queer objectification, plot relevancy, and intimacy co-ordination shape how we view sexuality in film.
