This week, Catherine and Maddie discuss the life and career of Demi Lovato, the fluid queen of the music industry who recently accepted the label “pansexual” on Joe Rogan’s (icky) podcast. Demi is one of the first celebrities to open up and be vulnerable about her experiences and struggles as a child star, an addict, and a survivor; her honesty is refreshing, but this may be a triggering episode for some. If you’re up for it, please join us for a discussion about trauma, addiction, growth, and froyo.

“But Catherine,” Madison said. “How in the world are we going to make Twilight ~*queer*~?” They were forced to swallow their words when Catherine cried, “Hold my beer, spider monkey!” Join us this week for a prosecutorial investigation of the vampire sensation, Twilight, as a piece of queer media where we break down Stephanie Meyer’s intent for this sparkly romance and view it through the lens of queer theory.

What a spicy tale! This week, Catherine and Maddie undertake The Handmaiden — not the Handmaid’s Tale — a Korean psychological thriller in three parts that, refreshingly, centres a sapphic love story. Join us for a conversation about the power women (and other marginalized folks) can harness when they work together, how to use erotica effectively in storytelling, and how a piece of queer media can transcend the genre and stand out as truly breathtaking. You’re going to need a cold shower after this one, but you don’t want to miss it!

It’s not about cookware! This week, Catherine and Maddie take on Canadian sitcom, Schitt’s Creek, starring Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Annie Murphy. This groundbreaking comedy centers not only a queer romance, but an openly pansexual character in what may be the first in-depth exploration of pansexuality on TV.

Elliot Page is trans! And this week, Catherine and Maddie do a deep-dive into his career and the impact his coming out has had and will continue to have on the LGBTQIA community. Contrary to the messaging from some TERFy lesbians out there, we aren’t losing a lesbian, we’re gaining a trans brother. We love you, Elliot!
