Platty Jubes,  Fire Island, Stranger Things 4

Lettuce discuss the rising cost of living, the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Fire Island and Stranger Things 4. Ben talks to queer comedy icon Margaret Cho, SNL favourite Bowen Yang and rising comedy star and now glossy magazine cover boy Joel Kim Booster about gay romcom Fire Island and explains why the queer-POC centred film has been criticised for failing the Bechdel test. BW and BL talk through all the pop culture moments happening in international seats of power: Buckingham Palace, the White House and the Indonesian Presidential Palace. Finally, we’re running up that hill with Stranger Things 4, the latest season of Netflix’s ‘80s nostalgia-soaked sci-fi horror fantasy show.
