Happy Pride, film club listeners! 🏳️🌈
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single podcast in possession of 2 microphones, must be in want of a of good ass movie. But enough hetero nonsense! In this episode we take a trip to Fire Island (2022) directed by Andrew Ahn and starring Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, and Margaret Cho. Fire Island is a modern queer retelling of Jane Austen's classic, Pride & Prejudice, set during a chaotic trip to the infamous gay getaway.
In this episode: Ashley details her love of P&P; cliques, racism, stratification in the gay community; Joel Kim Booster's cheekbones; making cheese in the hotub; what counts as high society in the IG thirst trap era.
Our recommendations: Clueless (1995), Emma (1996), The Wedding Banquet (2025)
