There’s one very gay show everyone seems to be talking about right now… so naturally, Alix & Kayla haven’t watched it.

In this quickie episode, they dive into the internet’s latest obsession — “Heated Rivalry.” From the extremely passionate fan reactions to the very explicit scenes circulating on social media, the show has taken over queer corners of the internet. The only problem? Kayla has a hard time watching shows where the main characters are men.

The conversation turns into a hilarious exploration of queer media consumption: why some lesbians love watching gay male storylines, why others struggle to connect with them, and how attraction (or lack of it) affects the way we watch TV. They also talk about supporting queer content even when it’s not exactly your flavor, the differences between lesbian and gay male media, and the constant pressure to show up for representation so these shows keep getting made.

It’s a chaotic, funny, and very honest chat about queer TV, internet discourse, and the complicated ways we relate to representation on screen.
