Margaret Killjoy, Hazel Acacia and Io Asunder talk about everyone’s favorite allegory for Vietnam (Star Wars) Specifically the only good Star Wars, Andor.

Episode Summary A deadly disease strikes, and everyone is ill-equipped to handle it; a group of young people is stuck inside trying to escape, and they feel (and act) weird about it. This is the plot of Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th century story collection, set against the backdrop of the Black Death. For SOME REASON, this felt relevant to adapt in the early 2020s. Robin, Miriam, and returning guest Ellery discuss Netflix's Decameron mini-series, along with the actual Decameron, the COVID-19 pandemic, and how we depict, and discuss disease, and what feels like the end of the world.

Episode Summary McKenzie and Io chin wag about Conclave, the two popes and Catholicism and make a case for why Conclave should be ushered in gay film canon (a buncha messy flamboyant divas in iconic outfits backstab each other and treat women weirdly to see which of their boys gets to be the man?)
