In celebration of pride month, this episode features Jeremiah and E discussing a brief history of the LGBTQ community through the lens of film history. We cover themes of societal acceptance, community, identity, and the importance of queer representation.

A special note is that we forgot to talk about 2022's Heartstopper, which E loves immensely. The Birdcage (1996) and Heartstopper (2022) are our staff picks.
