The Lavender Menace

Season 2 finale: the media that shaped us & our childhood queerness, unique relationships to fandom


Listen Later

We have arrived at the end of season 2, and it's time for us to talk about the media that made us the crazy bitches/mean lesbians/critical media consumers we are. But first, we respond to your lovely emails (thank you to everyone reaching out to us! Please continue to do this! Email us with your hot takes and at[email protected]) and give a listener our thoughts on what her art thesis project about queerness should entail. Then we discuss some of the media that we were obsessed with as children- Renaissance and Sunny's experiences diverge in many ways, from our social lives and the gendered experiences we had, to our relationships to social media and internet access. However, we both had very cringe fandom moments, of course. Finally, we recommend our childhood favorites to each other. Sunny recommends the young adult novel Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universeby Benjamin Alire Saenz and Renaissance recommends the 2002 Chicago movie musical directed by Rob Marshall. Connect with us individually on Instagram (@renaissancemarie @sunnywithacamera, follow us so when we go live together you can be an active participant!) or our Youtube channels, Renaissance Marie and a sunny book nook, respectively. You can find both of us being unhinged on our joint Twitter account @thelavenderpod, subscribe to our Youtube channel The Lavender Menace, and become a patron at patreon.com/thelavendermenace for early access and exclusive content! Thank you to our lovely patrons. We'll be back every two weeks with new episodes for season 3. See you in our next episode to kick off our next season!
