Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is also obsessed with couch time.

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with return guests and friends of the pod, co-hosts Kris and Shana of Bad Queers Pod (@badqueerspod), and talk about why the international sensation, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Should’ve Been Gay. 

We are really loving this new trend of all the animated kid’s movies with blatantly queer undertones becoming instant hits. From Frozen to Nimona, there has been a large push to teach kids to embrace differences and be true to themselves. With half of us being introduced to K-Pop Demon Hunters thanks to our own small kids, looking at all the gay angles wasn’t top of mind. But after an hour and a half of absolute bops (Golden is written by the same gay man that wrote the musical adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada!), the on-the-nose queerness of having a secret identity, the forbidden love between Rumi and Jinu, and Rumi’s coming out story being the core of the entire plot, we knew we had to do an SBG right away. 

We talk about our experiences with the movie, expose Gwi-Ma as a petty Log Cabin Republican, break down the lyrics to Soda Pop (which is definitely about poppers), and discuss our favorite ships (Polytrix forever!). 

We know one thing for sure, K-Pop Demon Hunters Should’ve Been Gay.
