Genre Friction

YouTuber and filmmaker Jessie Gender and cosplayer and podcaster Spotted Giraffee are two best friends and geeky women who love to talk way too deeply (or perhaps, deeply enough) about their favorite love: science fiction. Have you ever wanted to talk about the colonial underpinnings of the United Federation of Planets? Or whether androids are a labor allegory? Or why The Doctor is a transgender metaphor? Or why Spock is so damn hot? Well, then this is the podcast for you. Each week, they examine a new TV show, movie, or general geeky pop culture thing, along with the news, through the thoughtful lens of two women who are emotionally attached to fictional universes and yet still have notes.
