Rainbow Rewatch

Pride month is almost over (cry face yas queen gawd pop off sis the house down boots slay hunty boo) so we thought we would discuss one of the most iconic aspects of contemporary queer culture: Grindr! You may know it as the gay hookup app, but we know it as a dungeon trash hole where the most terrifying monsters are kept away locked and key. Yay! On this episode of We the Sheeple, Daniel and Leliana unpack this most infamous app and discuss its pros, and its many many cons. They also explain its hidden importance and impact to the LGBTQ community while sharing some truly embarrassing stories and some awful messages they have received. Spoiler alert: it's messy as fuck.

On We the Sheeple, Daniel and Leliana break down a concept that has been bastardized by society and demystify it through their uniquely queer lens. They will return to regularly scheduled Rainbow Rewatch programming next week!

Yeehaw! Yippee Ki Yay! or whatever cowboys say....because this week on Rainbow Rewatch, Daniel and Leliana are talking about Brokeback Mountain (2006) aka that one gay cowboy movie. After unpacking the film's immense cultural significance and effect on the course of gay representation in media, Daniel and Leliana ask some important questions. Such as why was this movie so darn successful? Why did Daniel sob the entire time? How can we parse apart the film's undoubtable importance and the fact that it is a story told exclusively by straight people? How did Jake Gyllenhaal bottom without lube? And is it Brokeback Mountain, or Bareback Mountain???

Just to get this out of the way: we do talk about poop for about 5 minutes in the middle of the episode, and we are very sorry. It isn't *that* gross if you try not to visualize what we are talking about.

Annnnyway, this episode of Rainbow Rewatch is reallll wet and hot because Daniel and Leliana are talking about Wet Hot American Summer (2001), the summer camp story that we deserve. This movie has EVERYTHING: Bradley Cooper taking it up the ass, a talking can of vegetables, and everything in between. The dolls then dig into the film's queer relationship, its lack of POC representation, camp at summer camp, and whether absurdism excuses controversial jokes. Oh, and also poop.

Is it just me, or is it the "Start of Something New" on this extra special, musical-theatre packed episode of Rainbow Rewatch. This week, Daniel and Leliana break down the DCOM to end all DCOMs, High School Musical (2006), which has to be the most accidentally gay film ever created!! After spilling some tea, the dolls sit down the amazingly talented JJ Niemann (Broadway performer, TikTok content creator, all around lovely human being) to get into everrrrrything queer about this cultural significant masterpiece. They get into Ryan and his terrible hats, masculinity and straight privilege in musical theatre, sticking to the status quo, and ALL things Sharpay. So kick back, relax, take out your basketball, and get your HEAD in the GAME.

And to all the members of our queer extended family out there, happy pride!! You are loved <3

Wow. Just wow. In this episode of Rainbow Rewatch, Daniel and Leliana review a movie that they really didn't want to watch (but did because they love good old fashioned journalism), Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Beyond being horribly unfunny, this movie is perhaps one of the most transphobic films ever made. So this week, they break down the movie's representation of transness and try to understand what made the movie so popular despite its EXTREMELY problematic source material.

Uh oh, someone must have opened Pandora's Box because on this episode of Rainbow Rewatch, Daniel and Leliana are breaking down Glee, Season 1 Episode 4 "Preggers." This is one of the most iconic episodes of glee (ft. Kurt doing single ladies) and one of the very first that centered queerness as a major plot line. Listen as the laddies discuss their obsession with this show, Kurt's tender relationship with his father, and gay stereotypes in high school. They also unpack some of their high school trauma, and try their very best to understand how the hell football works.

In this week's episode of Rainbow Rewatch, Daniel and Leliana are switching it up and introducing a new series: We the Sheeple! On We the Sheeple, Daniel and Leliana break down a concept that has been bastardized by society and demystify it through their uniquely queer lens. They will return to regularly scheduled Rainbow Rewatch programming next week!

This week, they are discussing polyamory, a concept that is intrinsically tied with queerness. They try to understand why there is so much stigma surrounding polyamory, discuss whether polyamory falls under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, and begin to tear down society's impulse to push us all into monogamous, cis-het relationships. Then, halfway through the episode, they do a lil *puff puff* action and philosophize as they fly through the clouds!!

Daniel and Leliana are *NOT* experts on polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, or even relationships, for that matter. All opinions are their own, and are shared in good faith with the intention of pushing towards a more inclusive society.

In this week's episode of Rainbow Rewatch, Daniel and Leliana review Easy A (2010), the angsty teen movie about slut shaming we didn't know we needed. After discussing a stage production of Easy A that Leliana was in, they break down some queer aspects of the film including Brandon and his bi-erasure, the intersection of queerness and christianity, and Olive's sexually fluid parents. They also discuss the slut shaming of young girls in schools, the hypersexualization of queer people in our culture, and the importance of being in control of your own sexual journey. You know, all the fun stuff!!

This week on Rainbow Rewatch is a SUPER delicious episode because Daniel and Leliana are chatting about arguably the most iconic movie of the 2000s, the queer cult classic Mean Girls!!! We are joined by very special guest Braunwyn Windham-Burke (Real Housewives of Orange County, Amplified Voices, all around legend), who made headlines earlier this year as the first openly queer real housewife in the entire franchise! After discussing their personal relationship to this film, Daniel and Leliana talk to Braunwyn about her journey of self-exploration that led to her coming out, problematic reactions from the fandom, sobriety, and her experience as the mother of queer children. Then, they break down everrrrrything queer about this amazingly gay film including whether Damian is good queer representation, Janis' lesbophobia, and the movie's lasting impact on queer culture.

And if you take away anything from this episode, let it be this: "And on the third day, God created the Remington bolt-action rifle, so that man could fight the dinosaurs. And the homosexuals. Amen."

TW: sexual assault & violence (from about 27:00 - 31:00)

Is it Friday the 13th, or did someone just give us a laced fortune cookie? Because this week on Rainbow Rewatch, Daniel and Leliana are revisiting Freaky Friday (2003) featuring an ICONIC performance by Ms. Jamie Lee Curtis and the queen of the early 2000s herself, Lindsay Lohan. The *dolls* discuss the importance of punk culture, BDSM, the film's implicit racism, and what they would do if their boyfriend kissed their mom. They also break down the concept of switching bodies and its relationship to transness, and relay a terrifying story of kidnapping and torture....that has absolutely nothing to do with Freaky Friday.
