Have you watched a lot of cheerleader media (cheerleadia?) Yeah, we are assuming you’ve not seen All Cheerleaders Die (2013) but do come listen anyway and see if Alice can persuade you (and G and Holly) that it is, in fact, the Greatest Film Of All Time, in our Halloween special.There’s magic and witches and an undead cat and glowing gemstones and blood and murder and cannibali

Episode 29 - Drive Away Dolls (2024)

Mar 28 2024 68 mins

Queer Girl Film Club springing into action to bring you the latest in queer girl cinema releases? Kind of. We would have had this out last week, but alas, G has become the second member of the pod to get concussion in the last six months!But the CT scans are done and the results are in: QGFC have the brainpower to talk about Drive Away Dolls (2024), an utterly silly, low brainpower

Episode 28 - Disobedience (2017)

Jan 16 2024 95 mins

This week we’re doing one of, if not the, most requested films - Disobedience (2017). We did say it was a Rachel Weiss kind of season, didn’t we?We’ve got a special guest, Naomi, to give us some helpful insights into Jewish traditions and life for queer Jewish people, although she also eloquently explains how there are many different ways to be Jewish, and Jewish and queer. H

Episode 27 - The Half Of It (2020)

Jan 09 2024 76 mins

Tell your friends, there’s a new episode of Queer Girl Film Club! We are talking friendship a lot in this week’s episode as we discuss the Netflix 2020 release, The Half Of It. Only the second film from director/writer Alice Wu (something Holly in particular is outraged by, more Alice Wu films now!), this queer smalltown America take on Cyrano de Bergerac charms the crew.Listen

Episode 26 - Fucking Åmål (1998)

Jan 02 2024 71 mins

It’s a fractious episode for Queer Girl Film Club this week, be prepared for disagreements, personal attacks and shouting over Fucking Åmål/Show Me Love (1998), a big hit in Sweden which isn’t such a big hit for some of the pod.Listen as the gang talk telephone etiquette, kissing girls as a dare and whether naturalistic film-making is good or not. We take this gritty lo-fi de

Episode 25 - Rent (2005)

Dec 26 2023 83 mins

Merry Christmas listeners, and why not listen to some festive film chat from Queer Girl Film Club! There might be a little disagreement as to whether Rent (2005) is a Christmas film or not, but there’s certainly some snow and singing to be had, and the QGFC gang are keeping up our Christmas traditions, like bringing up those Netflix Vanessa Hudgens films again.We spend a bit less

Episode 24 - The Favourite (2018)

Dec 19 2023 70 mins

It’s time for Holly’s eighteenth century history podcast! Oh wait, no, this is a Queer Girl Film Club episode about Oscar winning* slice of genius The Favourite (2018). But it does contain quite a bit of Holly talking about the actual history, so we hope that’s to your liking.There’s also plenty of space for rhapsodising Olivia Colman’s incredible performance, Emma Stone�

Episode 23 - Imagine Me And You (2005)

Dec 12 2023 73 mins

We are back for season 4 of Queer Girl Film Club! And why not start with something classic: the British romcom! Journey with us to a simpler time (2005) while we talk about Imagine Me And You.Everyone’s posh, everyone’s cringe and there’s only eight people in the whole of London, but Alice, G and Holly are happy to take a trip to this much-rewatched film. Along the way we ask

Episode 22 - Halloween special: The Perfection (2018)

Oct 31 2023 83 mins

Halloween films aren’t for the faint hearted, and we’re definitely recommending listeners take a look at what might be our longest list of content warnings below before they jump into The Perfection (2018).However, if you are willing to brave all of that, this is an interesting, if unsuccessful at times, film which gives the QGFC crew much to love and hate. Although they all ag
