Queerly Popular

Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to talk about the book Scraps. The book is a novelization of a screenplay for a feature film that is an expanded version of a short film. The book is about two boys who meet and fall in love in 2003 Montana.

In addition to talking about the book, I also talk about the short film and how it differs from the book. I also talk about the audiobook and a couple of issues I have with it.

Our next episode will be on June 4th and will be about the book Out of the Blue by Jason June.

Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular. Today's episode is about the 2021 book The Ghosts We Keep by Mason Deaver. The book is about a non-binary person whose older brother dies suddenly and how they deal with it.

This book is much different than other things I have talked about so far. There is very little joy in the book, but it is very good and well worth reading. There is a suicide attempt and self harm in the book, so if those bother you, please be careful. I would highly recommend this book.

Our next episode will be on May 21st and will be about the book Scraps by Matthew Francis.

Welcome to this week's episode of Queerly Popular. Today's episode is about the book Dawn: God's United Reich by D Alexander. The book is about two boys who live in under a theocratic regime in a dystopian version of the United States who meet and fall in love. The book is quite a lovely book and is also the first book in a series.

I do have a couple of issues with the book that I talk about, but for the most part I think it was a very lovely book and I think you'll really enjoy it.

Our next episode will be on May 7th and will be about the book The Ghosts We Keep by Mason Deaver.

Welcome back to Queerly Popular! Today, we will be talking about the 2023 book The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder. This book came out around the same time as Red, White, and Royal Blue (movie) and when I was really getting into royal romance books. It's about an American becoming Prince of Wales and falling in love with the British Prime Minister. It's a lot of fun to read.

The book does have a lot of tropes, but that makes it no less enjoyable. However, it does make it feel like we've talked about the characters before, which makes for an interesting talk about the characters. I highly recommend the book and really hope you take the time to read and enjoy it.

Our next episode will be on April 23rd and will be about the book Dawn: God's United Reich by D Alexander.

Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular. Today's episode is about the 2025 movie Twinless.

Dylan O'Brien plays Roman, a man who recently lost his twin brother. He meets Dennis at a support groups for people who have lost their twins. The movie is about how their relationship develops over time. It is a dark, psychological movie with some great physical comedy. It's not my normal sort of movie, but it is a fun one.

Please don't forget that we are in the midst of the Trans Rights Readathon, where people are asked to read books by and about trans and non-binary people. I have talked about a few books by and about trans or non-people on the podcastand there are plenty of awesome books you can read to support the trans community.

Our next episode will be on April 9th and will be about the book The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder.

Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are talking about the 2025 Netflix show Boots starring Miles Heizer. The show is based off of the book The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White.

The show is about a young gay man, Cameron Cope, who goes into Marine basic training in the summer of 1990. It's not a romance or a coming out story, but the story of someone who is trying to get by in a space where they can't be out. It's a great show, but not one that really caught my interest.

Our next episode, on March 19th, will be about the movie Twinless starring Dylan O'Brien.

Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are talking about the movie Wicked: For Good, which is the second act of the play Wicked.

The movie is great and the music is good, but there weren't the bangers that there were in the first movie. I did really enjoy the movie though, especially watching Glinda finally grow a backbone. It's well worth the time to watch.

I had hoped to have a couple of videos of a couple of great scenes, but I couldn't find any videos of just the scenes, only of recaps or edits. Sorry about that.

We'll be back on March 5th with an episode about the show Boots.

Hello and welcome back to season 5 of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to be talking about the movie I Wish You All The Best starring Corey Fogelmanis, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Alexandria Daddario, Cole Sprouse, and Lena Dunham and written, directed, and produced by Tommy Dorfman.

I do really like this movie, but I also have complicated feelings due to the number of changes that Tommy made to the book. I spend most of the episode talking about the differences and my feelings about those differences. Overall, I can say that I loved that the movie stuck close to the heart of the books, but am not fond of the number of changes that were made, particularly the fundamental changes that were made (2 in particular were baffling and annoying) to the story.

But before that, I talk about what we will be talking about during the first half of the season and why I will not be reviewing Plainclothes. I also talk a little about the journey I had to take to watch IWATB because it was not showing anywhere near me.

Our next episode, on February 19, will be about Wicked: For Good.

Welcome to the season finale of season 4 of Queerly Popular! Today, we are talking about the 2021 Netflix film Single All the Way. The movie stars Michael Urie, Philemon Chambers, Luke MacFarlane, Kathy Najimy, Jennifer Coolidge, and Barry Bostwick. It is quite the fun film and it is also a holiday rom-com filled with rom-com tropes.

I highly recommend this film if you enjoy holiday rom-coms. The fact that the three romantic leads are all queer really helped the film out.

We will be back in February with season 5! The schedule will come out in January, but I know we will be talking about I Wish You All The Best (film), Twinless, Wicked: For Good, and Boots. We'll probably talk about Heated Rivalry at some point, but I'm not sure when.

Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we'll be talking about the 2019 Netflix movie Let It Snow.

This movie is a fun and fluffy Christmas teen rom-com filled with stereotypes and tropes, but don't let that discourage you from watching and enjoying it. Is it original? Nope, but it is fun and relaxing, so enjoy it for what it is.

It also has a bunch of actors who were sort of big at the time, listen to find out which of them I knew instantly and which it took me a bit longer to recognize.

We will be back on December 18th when we will talk about the Netflix movie SIngle All the Way.
