Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with writer Mariko Tamaki (@marikotamaki) to talk about telling our stories. We discuss Mariko’s new YA murder mystery novel, COLD, coming out this February and her experience writing the story. We dive into the creation of COLD (in a spoiler free way) and Mariko’s decision to tell the story from multiple perspectives. We talk about tropes and the weight Mariko felt when telling a story that involves the death of a queer character. We talk about the differences in stories told by straight people that happen to include queer characters versus when we get to tell our own stories. We also talk discuss the importance of fandom, Mariko’s first experience at a queer comic convention, and why she avoids her GoodReads reviews.

Leigh (@lshfoster) hangs out with founder of the Queerly Beloved Revue, Candida Valentina (@candidavalentinaofficial), to talk about why the movie The Devil Wears Prada Should’ve Been Gay. Who better to dissect the extreme gayness of this movie than the absolute ruler of the queer burlesque scene? We break down why these characters are so gay. We’ve got Miranda, the power gay that everyone aspires to be, and Andy, a baby gay with a praise kink. Andy meets Miranda and can’t decide if she wants to be her or be with her. And we could not relate more. So many scenes in this movie have zero heterosexual explanation and we just want to know what the writers think was going on. We know one thing for sure, The Devil Wears Prada Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) chat with storyteller and producer Elishia K. Constantine (@elishiathegreat) and screenwriter and director Kristina Pupo (@kristinapupo) about the art of collaborgaytion. Elishia and Kristina met at Clexacon in 2019 and quickly realized that they had complementary vibes, goals, and skillsets. Together they created the series Out in Love based on Kristina’s real life experiences. Since then Elishia has founded the independent production company Canon Divergence and is working with Kristina on several projects including a fiction podcast and a feature. We sat down with them to talk about the benefits of collaborating, how to find the right person to team up with, and what their creative journey has been like.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with comedians and hosts of the podcast Never Normal, Renee Santos (@reneesantoscomedy) and Jackie Monahan (@jackiemonahan) to talk about why the movie Bridesmaids Should’ve Been Gay. Bridesmaids is quite simply gay from casting to credits. Nothing about this movie has a heterosexual explanation. The only reason anyone would have for being that jealous of their friend making another friend is if there was a secret crush going on. Bridesmaids should have ended with Annie and Lillian recognizing their romantic feelings for one another and finally getting together. Alternatively, we would accept a throuple situation between Annie, Lillian and Helen. One thing is for sure, Bridesmaids Should’ve Been Gay.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about the Lifetime’s lesbian Christmas rom-com Under the Christmas Tree for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. This movie stars Elise Bauman (@baumanelise) as Alma and Tattiawna Jones (@tattiawna) as Charlie and is the very first lesbian holiday movie Lifetime has ever produced. It is so nice watching a queer movie that has queer people both in front of and behind the cameras. The majority of the cast and crew for Under the Christmas Tree are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Even the wardrobe is gay culture - Alma and Charlie wear big jackets over hoodies and plenty of button downs. In true Lifetime holiday fashion, the movie is a super wholesome and adorable romance. Their families are supportive and there’s not an ounce of homophobia in sight. There’s some conflict over getting a Christmas tree for the governor, but overall the angst is very mild. This movie is very gay and is everything we’ve ever wanted for a lesbian Christmas movie. At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original holiday song based on Under the Christmas Tree titled “Underneath the Christmas Tree” written by Leigh Holmes Foster and performed by Ellie Brigida.

Under the Christmas Tree is Lifetime’s very first LGBTQ+ lesbian holiday romance movie and we could not be more excited for it.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with BAFTA-nominated voice actor and friend of the pod, Valerie Rose Lohman (@valerieroselohman) to talk about why The Nightmare Before Christmas Should’ve Been Gay. This movie is universally a queer kid experience. Every queer kid who grew up watching this movie resonated with Jack and Sally’s journeys. We discuss Jack Skellington’s chaotic bi energy and dive into how he experiences gay puberty in Christmastown. We talk about the very relatable falling for your best friend experience as we watch Sally pine after Jack on the sidelines while he takes the time to discover his sexuality. We debate which town is the embodiment of homosexuality or heterosexuality and the bisexual implications that holds. And of course, we dive into our ships, including examining Jack’s relationship with his toxic ex-boyfriend Ooogie Boogie and his budding relationship with the secure in her pansexuality Sally. One thing is for sure, The Nightmare Before Christmas Should’ve Been Gay. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with lesbian bar experts Sarah Gabrielli (@sarahdrama_tm) and Rachel Karp (@rachel.karp), the hosts of Cruising Podcast (@cruisingpod), to chat about why Cheers Should’ve Been Gay. Like a lot of older tv shows, Cheers did not age well and is incredibly problematic, but everything gets better when you rewatch it under a queer lens. Cheers was pretty progressive for the 80’s, but we think we could easily improve it by creating Queers, the queer version of Cheers. We really want to live in the alternate universe where Cheers is a lesbian bar. We can all agree, Cheers Should’ve Been Gay.
