Queer 2 Queer Cast

The divine diva, @dejad_dubois! graced the Queer 2 Queer Cast with her powerful presence on the eve of her 2023 holiday drag shows! Tía has arrived, so listen up and check out her shows using the info below! Enjoy our pod where we talk about her origin story, and the potential for others to have their own, while you buy your tickets. Make it snappy! The fierce kind of snappy, you know? 🫰 Saturday...

Queen Vanessa Kenney (@nessapies) landed her spaceship (yes, the thrusters were made of rainbow) and chat with Q2Q about Curiousifi's upcoming benefit show, "Transcendence." We gotta make that money, honey, or positive change for Queer people in the South is going to snail along even slower. Their show is a multi-media theatre event (say wut!? Don't worry, Collin asks.) with people performing, rea...

Every generation needs their iconic, hot mess, dynamic friendship duo! We think ours is the combined glitter force of Juni Cuevas (@juniivision) and Anthony Jakobs (@anthonyjakobs). While they live on opposite sides of the country, these pals prioritize collaborations and contact whenever they can, flying from one end of the rainbow to the other for shared work on music videos, alcoholic beverages...

Good morning all you Q2Q Festival Goers! We have a very special treat to celebrate this season's final weekend of showings: Rebekah Louisa Smith (@rebekahfilmdr), The Film Festival Doctor! One of her clients has a film called "Dash" that is currently streaming on our platform! Please visit our website (https://queer2queerfest.com/) and check out "Dash," along with all the other exciting work on di...

DIE ANOTHER PLAY! This is the second in our series called "Why it didn't" where Collin (@squidlegs) talks critically about a film that had a few (or more than a few) perceived issues. James Bond was one of the first "adult" characters Collin became a fan of, and he always loved discussing with his dad (also a fan) how the series has varied over the years. Pierce Brosnan's tenure often gets overloo...

It's hard out there for an MFA! On this episode of the "Queer 2 Queer Cast," Collin talks to Jake Blakeman (JakeBlakeman.com), an amazing actor and general awesome possum attending Brooklyn College who's raising funds for their school's acting showcase. This event is a crucial moment for these aspiring performers to be recognized and possibly secure a job or two. The majority of performers who bri...

Hey there friends! Spider-Man, for producer Collin (@squidlegs), is up there with the greatest comic book characters of all time. He loved the first two Raimi films, and like many, was underwhelmed by the third entry in this universe. Please watch along with him as he discusses the film and what he would have done differently. This is not an attempt to suggest that he could do better than our man,...

There's a new hero dealing out a double-dose of justice... No, it's not Batman (well not in this instance)... No, it's not @squidlegs drying his dishes in a Bat Signal shirt on TikTok (@DingleBlatt).... It's not even one of the coolest new superheroes to hit the shelves, our absolutely hunky "El Peso Hero..." It's not EVEN a bird or a plane or a Drag Queen! It's Hector Rodriguez (@el_peso_hero) of...

Q2Q is proud to partner with "Women in Film Dallas" and local filmmaker, Chaselyn Wade (@chaselynwade), for a very special episode about the safety of cis and trans women on Texas film sets and beyond. We're honored to be joined by team members Gail Cronauer (@gailcronauer), Tiffany Vollmer (@theogbulma), and Lisa Dalton (www.lisadalton.com), all of whom offer empowerment, promotion, and mentorshi...

It's officially Pride Month TO-FREAKING-OUT-DAY! We can think of no better occasion to release an episode all about being proud to be queer. It was an honor and privilege to sit down with two people who really put in the work to help LGBTQ youth and beyond. Percy and Amanda, two key figures with "Real Live Connection," are championing many exciting events for the fast approaching "Teen Pride" cele...

The young ones are alright! Actually, they're more than alright. They're incredible! Exemplifying all that is awesome when it comes to queer life for minors is my new friend Erick. He creates hilarious videos on TikTok and is unafraid to express his bold side, no matter who may object to his unabashed voice. It was inspiring to hear how someone so young could be so confident, and yet, this energet...

You picked an awesome episode to dive into. Literally one of our favorite people and an important voice for unique expression in DFW stopped by the pod! Preston Light (@whatsapreston), a painter, bass player and podcast personality powerhouse, guested on this episode of the "Queer 2 Queer Cast" to tell you about how he sees the world. Whether it's the way he pulls the strings on his instruments or...

In case you didn't know, the "first act" of our Q2Q Film Festival is a live event featuring many of the most talented and hilarious lgbtq folks in Dallas and beyond. Many of them do comedy, and one such chuckle box of a unicorn is with me today, Stefan Newman of Queer Factor acclaim. And speaking of this under the rainbow event, it's this St. Patrick's Gay at 9PM Central , so the golden pot hasn't...

From the HML podcast episode description: We don't believe in the glorification of murderers. We do believe in the empowerment of queers who love TV and film. (To clarify: in regards to the stuff about "You," we are KIDDING.) Hi there! Our editor got a blowout on an open highway (nobody was injured) and has been recovering. That's why this episode is a day late, and we do apologize. Speaking of ou...

Thanks, first of all, for downloading our inaugural "Queer 2 Queer Cast" episode. I was privileged enough to experience the soothing soul of Brittany Devon, a multi-talented queer actress who proudly goes by they/she pronouns. We talk about "Total Catch," the short film (directed by Sarah Clark) they starred in at our initial "Queer 2 Queer Film Festival," and gab about which roles are generally,...
