Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Hannah Rae Leach (@hannahraeleach), audio producer, writer, musician, and podcast co-host of Sleepover Cinema to talk about the 2004 musical comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. What is with Disney giving us the literal gayest movies and then trying to pretend they aren’t gay? Lola is incredibly queer. She chose her own name, is in...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about the reason for the season- Pride! It’s easy to look at what Pride has become (a crowded corporately sponsored party overflowing with rainbow decorations) and forget that it was originally a fight for our rights, many of which are still under attack today. We talk about our very first experiences with celebrating Pride and how mag...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor Arlen Aguayo-Stewart (@arlenaguayostewart) and talk about why the classic 2003 romcom How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Should’ve Been Gay. We start off by imagining Arlen’s character Nicte from Motherland: Fort Salem as the scorned ex in literally every romcom ever made. Then we dive into why this movie is so gay. First off, the characte...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about everyone’s favorite topic, gay celebrity conspiracy theories! This week we are absolutely giddy as we discuss why these theories are so much freaking fun (it’s literally science!), vaguely chat about who pings our gaydar, and scoff at the census that still thinks the LGBTQ+ community is only like 5% of the population - Who are th...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor and singer Samantha Aucoin (@samanthaaucoin) to talk about why the iconic teen drama Dawson’s Creek Should’ve Been Gay. We couldn’t do an episode with Samantha without first chatting about one of our current favorite shows, Syfy’s Astrid and Lilly Save the World! We talk about Sam’s breakout role as Lilly and what she hopes to see in...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with author Tiana Warner (@tianawarner) to talk about her new sapphic YA fantasy novel, The Valkyrie’s Daughter. This book is giving the mythology gays everything they could ever want. It has an enemies to lovers storyline, a unique exploration of sexuality and gender roles, and a story that adapts original Norse mythology surrounding the gods...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Irene Tu (@irene_tu) to talk about the 2019 film adaptation of Little Women. Little Women as a book is already gay, but this film really showcases it by choosing the gayest cast possible. When you put Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, and Laura Dern into a movie, you can’t really expect us to b...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about the 2014 musical Girltrash: All Night Long for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. Girltrash was written by Angela Robinson, who also wrote D.E.B.S., and several episodes of The L Word, which pretty much explains everything about how wild this movie is. If you’re looking f...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why Moxie Should’ve Been Gay. First of all, this 2021 film centers around a teenager discovering riot grrrl feminism, which has been historically known for centering its feminism around lesbianism. The recurring song in the film is "Rebel Girl" by Bikini Kill with the lyrics "in her kiss I taste the revolution." Claudia and Vivian...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with one of Tagg Magazine’s 2022 Enterprising Women, Sheri Johnson (@the_sheri_johnson). Sheri is the founder and CEO of the streaming network Strong Voices Television (@SVTVNetwork). We talk about how she took a comment from a friend and turned it into a series and then created an entire network. We examine the idea of what it means to be labe...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why The Edge of Seventeen Should’ve Been Gay. First things first, this movie stars Hailee Steinfeld as Nadine. So off the bat it’s already clearly supposed to be gay. Nadine and Krista have been madly in love since they met as children, but somehow they don’t end up together. Instead they have a horrific friend breakup because Kri...

Support Journey to the Heart Here: bit.ly/supportjourneytotheheart In a world where everyone shares a tattoo with their soulmate, you'd think falling in love would be easy. Journey to the Heart follows three best friends as they go on an adventure of a lifetime. Albina, Babette, and Charlie are displeased with their soulmate tattoo, or lack of one, for different reasons, and this leads them to go...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with queer screenwriter Alix Markman (@markwoman) to talk about Syfy’s new series Astrid & Lilly Save the World. We have a lot of feelings about Astrid & Lilly and are overjoyed by the positive representation that it provides. Alix informed us that there were women and nonbinary people in nearly every key creative position and we think it shows...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor Jessica Darrow (@jessdarrow_) to talk about why Disney’s Encanto Should’ve Been Gay. Jess played the role of Luisa in Encanto and while Luisa is an obvious, stereotypically gay character, everything about this movie is queer. There are rainbows everywhere. The casita is always hopping with colorful, musical parties that attract the e...

Have you ever had a crush on someone and just felt powerless to make a move? In this week’s episode, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about the common experience of being a queer in the headlights. Whether it’s because you’re afraid of losing a friend, not sure if the other person is actually gay, or are afraid of rejection, this is a very common queer experience. We d...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to discuss why the 2010 movie You Again Should’ve Been Gay. This film has an incredible cast and the gayest premise ever, but somehow manages to miss the mark entirely. We watched it, so you don’t have to. With stars like Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Kristin Chenoweth, and Betty White, we had higher hopes for this movie. Th...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with standup comedian Karinda Dobbins (@karindadobbins) and chat about differing opinions on quintessential gay topics like lesbian wedding locations, Subarus, doggy clothes, building IKEA furniture and more. Karinda shares how she got into standup and what it’s like auditioning for the part of the “lezzie on the side”. We also invent our own l...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with TikTok star Grace Rolen (@fullofgracer) to talk about why Disney’s Descendants movies Should’ve Been Gay. We discuss the inherent queerness of magic, villains, and archenemies. We also do a line for line breakdown of Mal and Evie’s love duet, Space Between. Almost every character in these movies, particularly the ones from the Isle, is que...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) tackle the age old question of how to maintain desire in a long term relationship. This question comes up a lot, especially in lesbian relationships. There’s a reason people talk about “lesbian bed death” and most of it is rooted in the patriarchy. Societal expectations around sex and desire are based on men and this can cause a lot of issues for women....

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with actor Clarissa Thibeaux (@clarissa) to talk about the early 2000s “girl power” Disney animated series Kim Possible. Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me. When you wanna page me, that’s real gay! This show had everything from the kick-ass teenage heroine in a problematic age gap ship with her nemesis to the campy gay villain with Frank N...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about the Apple TV series Dickinson for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. Dickinson is essentially Emily Dickinson fan fiction, and it wastes absolutely zero time before giving us Emisue. They make-out in the very first episode. We love to see it. We break down each season and...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with two of the founders of Queer Field Day (@queerfieldday), Lilly Brown (@lilly27sings) and Kayleen Casey (@kayleencasey) to talk about the iconic ship Swanqueen from Once Upon A Time. This show is the perfect set up for an enemies to lovers ship. It’s basically a lesbian Parent Trap. Once Upon A Time is queerbaiting at its finest and all the...

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) take on listener questions in a no holds barred “Ask Me Anything” bonus episode originally aired on the Wisdom App. From playing f*ck, marry, politely decline to answering questions about relationships and the podcast, no request is too personal. Whether you’re looking for advice or just want a peek behind the curtain, this episode has it all. Follow al...
