Totally Normal About That

Get in friends, we're going podcasting!

This week we had a conversation about one of the most iconic movies of the early 2000's - Mean Girls!

We talked about things we love about this movie, like the incredible cast, the unforgettable lines, and the layered humor, as well as things we don't really like about the movie, like the casual ableism and misogyny, and the way queerness and queer people are treated.

If you have big feelings about this movie, we want to hear them! You can find us on BlueSky or Twitter at @TotallyNormalAT, or email us at [email protected]!

Hey friends!!

This week we had a conversation about Legally Blonde!

We talked about things we love, like Elle's amazing outfits, her resilience in the face of bullying, and the ways in which femininity can still be feminist!

We also talked about things we hate, like casual misogyny, sexual harassment, homophobic stereotypes, pink washing, and more!

Last but not least, we talked about things we love to hate, like the treatment of David Kidney in the iconic scene where Elle helps him secure a date!

If you feel particularly passionate about any of these things, let us know! You can tag or dm us on Twitter or Bluesky at @TotallyNormalAT, or email us at [email protected]

Hi Friends!

This week we had a totally normal conversation about the 2002 movie, Sweet Home Alabama! We discussed the representation in this movie and the use of some of our favorite (and least favorite) rom-com tropes.

Please be warned we also had very serious conversations about the casual racism, homophobia, and misogyny in this movie, including an in-depth discussion about Melanie outing Bobby Ray. If now is not a good time for you to listen to that kind of discussion, feel free to take a pause. We aren’t going anywhere.

If you have things you’d like to discuss with us, related to this episode or queer media/representation in general, feel free to reach out! You can tag us on Twitter at @TotallyNormalAT or email us at [email protected].

Hey friends!

This week we talked about one of the quintessential movies from the early 2000's - the original Pirates of the Caribbean! We had a fun chat about bisexual awakenings, both for viewers and one beloved Will Turner! We also talked about the complex feelings and relationships 009between Elizabeth Swan, Will Turner, and Jack Sparrow, about the theatricality of Jack Sparrow, and about the other queer pairings in this film.

Hey Friends!

This week, in anticipation of the new Venom movie release, we had a totally normal conversation about Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage! We talked about the background of this franchise and all sorts of fun connections and parallels to other movies and shows we love! We also discussed the way the movie deals with things like polyamory, toxic masculinity and relationships, the significance of communication, and so much more!! Mostly, we just yelled about how queer these movies are and how much we love them!

Hi Friends!

This week we had a totally normal conversation about the tv show Dead Boy Detectives! We struggled to accurately remember the origins of Steve Yockey's ghost, gushed over all our favorite characters and pairings, and mourned all the lost potential in a show that was cancelled far too soon! We also had some really thoughtful conversations about some central themes in the show, like bullying and abuse.

For those who are not familiar (or who just need a laugh), here is the link to the Yockey's ghost reference: https://youtu.be/HcA5S9DZnLg?si=aNOnPfm59vrY3x3c

This week we had a totally normal conversation about Gotham Knights!

We discussed the complex nature of class & crime in Gotham, the amazing queer representation in characters like Cullen, Harper, & Stephanie, our favorite ships & dynamics from the show, and the balance of delivering what we wanted & subverting expectations they achieved!

Hi friends!

This week we are wrapping up our discussions about Supernatural (for now) with a special episode featuring two of our favorite podcasters & fandom friends, Mary & Jeremy!

This week we had an incredible conversation about many of the things that make us feel totally normal about Supernatural AND its fandom. Mary & Jeremy shared how they got into the show & some of their experiences with fandom. We also talked about the impact of the show as a queer story, the importance of normalizing queer stories in media, who we all relate to most in the show, and so much more!
