We talk through the highlights (and some lowlights) in Queer cinema from 2022. What were our favorite movies and TV shows? Where are all the lesbian movies?

Are the streamers our great hope for the future of queer film and TV? Or maybe it's Canada!

No film form explores Queer history more frequently or enthusiastically than the documentary — showing our past, showcasing amazing Queer people of history, and unearthing images of Queer lives from times and places we don’t see.

What makes the Queer documentary such a powerful format? What are the techniques and topics that make Queer docs shine through?

A common question about Queer cinema is always: is it all about the sex? While Queer cinema can get pretty hot and heavy, is sex necessary for a film to be Queer? What do Queer audiences expect from Queer cinema?

Plus: Our hosts recommend some of their favorite sexy queer films!

Time to clear something up: if we’re going to talk about Queer film, what makes a movie Queer? Is it a function of who it’s by? Who it is for? Or is it just a vibe? We play a challenging round of “Is it Queer?” — The Birdcage? Power of the Dog? Philadelphia?

Plus: how Queer is teen television today?

To commemorate the big screen release of Bros, we reflect on the recent abundance of Queer-themed films and tv from major media companies. What does it mean for Queer cinema to go from the scrappy independent margins to major releases by big studios? Is this a long-awaited change for the better, or just cynical corporate politics? What does it mean for independent Queer film?

Plus... our hosts share their favorite Queer films of all time.
