What The Phalange?! | A Queer Feminist Friends (TV Show) Podcast

In this episode, Joey helps Ross with his dirty talking, Chandler struggles to figure out what he’s doing with his life, and Monica gets hired as an Executive Chef only to have the owner of the restaurant get obnoxiously high for her interview. In this episode we discuss the anxiety involved in picking a stable, well-paying job versus following your dreams. We also unpack the representation of smoking pot in the media, The War on Drugs and the ways in which policing of marijuana disproportionately affects Black Indigenous People of Colour. Strap yourself in, and let's get into it!

We would like to state that this podcast was recorded in 'Montreal', or Tiohtiá:ke, which we recognize is unceded indigenous land of the traditional territories of the Kanien’kehá:ka, 'Mohawk', Anishinabeg, 'Algonquin', and other peoples. We recognize the indigenous peoples as the rightful custodians of this land and are grateful and respect every which way they have taken care of and fought for this land, including, and not exclusive to, the Oka Crisis.
Though we continuously are working to use this podcast as a platform to address and unpack systems of oppression we also recognize our whiteness, that we are able bodied, our class privilege, and, in addition, our newness at attempting to create this media. We welcome any insight, feedback or resources on how we can do this better, or if we are doing it wrong.

In this episode, Joey finds out his dad is having an affair with a pet mortician, Chandler sees setting off a domino tit-for-tat in the group, and Phoebe dates a 'not too shrinky' psychologist that is actually very 'shrinky'.
With lots of input from this weeks instagram polls we venture into parent-child dynamics and how they change over time; healthy ways of holding the people you love accountable and discuss wether consent can be built into relationships and group dynamics.

In this episode, Paolo 'gropes' Phoebe at her place of work; Ross doesn't want to know what the genitals of his future baby look like (but everyone else is talking about them); and Joey and Chandler replace their broken kitchen table.
Good news, we get to talk about Susan and Carol! Bad news: we're starting to see a serious pattern of assault, not respecting boundaries and so much rape culture embedded in this show we love so much! Good thing we're taking the time to unpack it all together <3

While Monica and Phoebe fall in love with the idea of a man who's in a coma; Ross and Chandler's mom play tonsil tennis and Joey does the work of holding his friend accountable; as Rachel is obliviously attempting to find herself by writing erotic fiction. Let's take a hot sec to talk about unhealthy portrayals of sex positivity - also we seriously need to unpack all the women being super creepy in this episode!!

It's the holidays and the countdown to a new years kiss is in the air. While Phoebe's character shines bright for the first time in the series, the writers hit us with some random curve balls. Emilie and Quinn debate who Marcel is to Ross, and whether David should have stayed

Ouff, this episode takes us for a spin. It's thanksgiving and joeys not allowed home to celebrate. Monica is left cocking & trying to please all the potato needs of this little chosen family - except for Chandler, who is boycotting the holiday (though not for reasons one would hope for).
While searching for words to explain what Joey's modelling experience really insinuates, and being faced with trying to unpack a holiday that has such a horrible history, Quinn and Emilie open up about why they started this podcast and how they're grappling with unpacking white supremacy when black & indigenous people of colour are entirely erased from the show.

resources we touch on in the show:

• an 8 min video on how Degrassi helped de-stigmatize HIV and AIDS, comparing it to Rent
• CDC website and videos on HIV stigma
• Indigenous land and territories map of the world

In this episode Chandler finds out the world thinks he's gay; the Geller women pass on their patriarchal traumas; and ross falls in a hole and gets high. With lots of juicy material to explore, Emilie shares her own experience with internalized homophobia before coming out. We answer the question: "are gaydars real?" and are shocked at poll results around Rachel's Paolo shoes.

There's a blackout in Manhattan and Chandler is stuck in a ATM vestibule with THE Jill Goodacre (played by herself). Back at the apartment, the crew is huddling up with candles, sharing sex-alaides and unfortunately popularizing the infamous concept: The Friend Zone.
Join us as we unpack Ross's heinous sweater and even worse attitude around trying to date Rachel. We also lived through Chandler choking on someone else's gum THREE TIMES to bring you this episode so please rate our podcast to show us some support <3
