This episode discusses two films we’ve lovingly labeled as the “queer homework” genre. Both films are about sex, and some kind of unlocking, and both films are very firmly in an indie filmmaker canon for the Criterion-enjoyer: 

• Jane Schoenbrun's Sex & Death at Camp Miasma
• and Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex
