Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with queer, non-binary Filipinx artist Kimmortal (@kimmortaltheartist) to talk about how they are able to use their many artistic talents to express their identity and how the pandemic has impacted them as a performer. We talk about Kimmortal’s newest songs, our birth chart placements (they’ve got a lot of fire in their chart whereas we have a lot more water), and what it was like to work with Tegan and Sara.

Leigh (@lshfoster) takes on this week’s episode without beloved co-host Ellie (@elliebrigida), but don’t worry! She didn’t have too much time to be lonely, because she is joined by Caitlyn Clear (@clearlycaitlyn), who you may know as the writer of our musical podcast, The Flame: An Original Podcast Musical (@theflamemusical). Leigh and Caitlyn sit down to discuss why Warehouse 13 Should’ve Been Gay. We all know H.G. and Myka are together, even Joanne Kelly and Jaime Murray know H.G. and Myka are together. Sadly, the writers didn’t seem to get the memo. We deep dive into Caitlyn’s baby gay high school diary to analyze Bering and Wells content from 2010 and let’s just say, it’s very gay, they really didn’t try to be subtle.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor, writer, and TikTok star Mari Taren (@mariel_taren) to talk about what it’s like being single during the pandemic. We discuss quarantine activities, all of the different realms of TikTok (sea shanty Tok or potato Tok?), and the frustration of navigating dating apps. We also talk about what it's like to be gay in Hollywood and how it can impact an actor's career prospects. Join us as we talk about how we’ve handled being homo alone this past year.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with Krü Maekdo (@krumaekdo), founder of the Black Lesbian Archives, to talk about why Bridgerton Should’ve Been Gay. This show gives us all of the elements of what could be an epic lesbian storyline and then does not deliver on it. We all know Eloise is gay. They’re really not even trying to disguise it. Between her relationship with her “best friend” Penelope, her obsession with Lady Whistledown, and her general attitude of indifference towards men, it really couldn’t be any more apparent that Eloise is a whole baby gay. Look, she cuts her own bangs. Need we say more? We talk about “best friend” Penelope and how while she is a bit better at hiding it, she is also very much a lesbian. They even use the popular ‘brother as a stand-in love interest’ trope, but we know better. We also talk about Queen Charlotte and the convenient lack of a King; she’s totally hooking up with Lady Danbury and you can’t tell us otherwise.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) dig through the dumpster fire that was 2020 to find every gay silver lining they can. So much LGBTQ content was thrown our way in the last year and we are so here for it. We discuss The L Word: Generation Q and how even in a reboot the L Word continues to show only toxic and hyper-sexualized queer relationships. We sift through the queer TV and movies and pick out the good from the bad in representation. We discuss the issues with constantly seeing cheating, poorly redeemed characters (*cough* Catra), unhealthy relationships (looking at you Villaneve), and poorly done coming out stories (Harper, why?). We also dive into the more positive representation like The Haunting of Bly Manor, Schitt’s Creek, Teenage Bounty Hunters, and The Wilds. We talk about the many period pieces given to us (do filmmakers think that lesbians only existed in the 1800s?). We also talk about The Prom and how good it could have been if it was actually about lesbians instead of focused on Meryl Streep. If it was queer in 2020, we probably talked about it.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with actor and singer/songwriter Jasmin Savoy Brown (@jasminsavoy) to talk about why Thelma and Louise Should’ve Been Gay. Arguably, this film is already pretty gay. What could be gayer than two “best friends” running away together, ditching all the men in their lives, and kissing before driving off the edge of the Grand Canyon? Thelma and Louise are full of chaotic lesbian energy and we are here for it. We talk about why this movie still resonates with women today, how we would rewrite the movie to be even gayer, and we do a dramatic reading of some of the most queer lines in the film.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) dive into Teenage Bounty Hunters with special guest Maddie Phillips (@themaddiep) for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. We talk with Maddie about the audition process for Sterling, how much we adore Stepril even though they broke our hearts, and how important unique queer storylines are in media. This episode also comes with an original song loosely based on Teenage Bounty Hunters (specifically Sterling and April's relationship) featuring the buttery, angelic voice of Devon Hales (devonhales.jpg) entitled “I Want More”.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) sit down with actor Natasha Negovanlis (@natvanlis) to talk about why Stick It Should’ve Been Gay. This movie is arguably already extremely gay, but like all the movies in the “should’ve been” category, it never comes out of the closet. We talk about finding our root in the ice bath scene, lesbian fashion icon Haley Graham, and the inherent queerness of fighting the patriarchy through gymnastics. This movie is overflowing with gay content and where it doesn’t deliver on plot development, it sticks the landing on delivering some very distracting visuals. If you weren’t gay before seeing this movie, you probably are now. Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Brian Falduto (@brianfalduto), actor, country music singer/songwriter, and life coach. We talk about what the coming out experience is like when you’re already in the spotlight, how hard it can be to embrace your authentic self after hiding for so long, and how important it is to see yourself represented in media. We also get some life coaching experience from Brian and talk with him about what its like to be a gay man in the stereotypically heteronormative country music scene.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) finally get a chance to talk about why Ice Princess Should’ve Been Gay. We’ve been asked to do this movie so many times and it does not disappoint. There is literally no heterosexual explanation for how many gay tropes are in this movie. We talk about our favorite ships, how stereotypically lesbian Casey’s mom Joan is (blazers AND tofu, really Joan?), what we’d like to see from a sequel, and why the zamboni guy always has to get in the way of Casey and Gen’s relationship. This movie really tried to say oh I’m not gay, I’m just following this hot girl around with a camera…For Science, and we’re totally here for it.
