info_outlineHappy Pride, babies! We love you all from the bottom of our queer little hearts. For June's episode we are doing a "talking shet" kinda-manic-mind-meld-wormhole-brain-rot-mindgrapes-Grape-Lady episode where we are narrowing down OUR list of the top 5 gay (but not gay) movies, according to us (Anne and Damian, two geriatric millennials, so set your expectations on what kind of wild ride this is.)
But FIRST, we have a few quick orders of business:
-
We are taking a bit of a summer hiatus as it relates to actress interviews. We know, we know, we're already only feeding you once a month but trust that this hiatus is an exciting lead-up to a big announcement.
-
In the interim, we will be on the You Might Know Her From-original recipe feed monthly giving you some "just us" b.s. and also maybe even a non-actress interview if some of our stars align.
-
We'll also be chugging away here for YOU, the subscribers. We are still recapping And Just Like That, we are still working on our "everything is connected" musical theatre project (RENT, Gypsy, Sunset Boulevard), and also committed to what you want MORE of us from us. So feel free to shout out in the comments here what you'd like from us this summer. Truly, DO this, we are here because of YOUS so we want to make content you want from UZ.
Thank you for sticking with us all these years. We are grateful for your grace as we cool down for the summer while gearing up for this BIG announcement.
Now please enjoy over an hour of us screaming at each other and into the ether about movies that we declare GAY but NOT GAY. No Imagine Me & You, No Broken Hearts Club. But what about Thelma & Louise?
You'll have to listen and sound off in the comments with what we forgot!
Also, actress interviews from the past name-checked in this episode if you want to reacquaint yourselves:
Kathleen Turner, re: Moonlight
Lori Petty, re: A League of Their Own
