This week's episode kicks off our pride releases to finish out Pride month! Elizabeth discusses the 2014 movie Pride which tells the story of an unexpected alliance between UK miners and the LGBTQ+ community during the 1984-85 miner's strike. Sabrina must come to terms with Professor Umbridge actually playing someone nice in this movie and figure out how to not cry by the time this story is over. As always, we appreciate your support and hope you enjoy this episode!
