A very special Pride Month episode featuring guest and contributor to Handbasket Zine (handbasketzine.carrd.co) Carlos Frank-Estrada (@karlos.the.fog on Instagram, @KarlosTheFog on Twitter). A topic and discussion so big, it had to be split into two parts. Part 1 focuses on the History of LGBT+ stories on film from the very beginnings of cinema throughout the Hays Code and beyond, touching on various films along the way.
If we missed anything, one of two things happened: Either it was recorded and you'll hear it on next week's episode, or we missed it entirely because this was a massive subject and we'll just have more to discuss next Pride Month.
