Queer Longing

This week we discuss what things are NO DEPRESSION and why it's basically 'Trolls World Tour' and how that's all you need to know. Plus, we've both become 100% solidified Mare Of Easttownies so we talk a bit more about how it's not doing anything new but how it is doing everything right. We've got a couple of queer films to recommend, from Brooklyn teen queer longing in 'Beach Rats' through to pas...
