Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is having a rough night. 

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about why the 2017 dark comedy Rough Night Should’ve Been Gay(er). Rough Night stars Zoë Kravitz, Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Ilana Glazer, and Jillian Bell in a Bridesmaids meets The Hangover-style romp around Miami.

If you’ve seen Rough Night, you’re probably thinking– but that movie already IS gay. The lesbian couple, Blair and Frankie (#Blankie!), should qualify it for a Lez-ssential! And you’re right, the movie is already pretty gay and we do love #Blankie; but it is honestly impossible for us to ignore Alice’s BIG LESBIAN CRUSH on her best friend Jess. Alice literally murders the first guy we see try to touch Jess. And Jess choosing to marry a straight up diaper man isn’t exactly a strong endorsement for her heterosexuality either. 

We talk about gay magnetism a lot, and it is inconceivable to us that this friend group only has 2 gay girls in it. We’re not sure why the movie is trying so hard to pretend that the whole group is mostly straight women, but we’re not buying it. 

We know one thing for sure, Rough Night Should’ve Been Gay(er).
