Have you ever had a sex dream that involved body paint that looked like chocolate but wasn't? Do you like butch/femme pairings? Are you obsessed with queer bookstores and/or questionable existential art? Then you'll love Better Than Chocolate! Except for its (many) problematic aspects! But seriously, this 1999 Canadian gay romp is an important part of queer pop culture history. It's definitely a product of its time, but it does have its surprisingly woke moments! Tune in to hear Sarah and Alicia talk about plot holes, dildos, art, trans representation, and moms. Enjoy!

Of course Sarah is super excited about a movie involving runners who are queer women because that is her exact wheelhouse, but this movie has a surprising amount of nuance and interesting storytelling (even though it was, obviously, made by white dudes). It's still from the 80s so it has its problematic elements, but join Alicia and Sarah as they dive into this almost-forgotten classic to talk body diversity, the portrayal of intimacy, t...

Blondes With Glasses!BWG: Ep. 90 - After AfterEllenWell, 2016 continues to suck! The newest strike to add to the list is that the world renowned lesbian pop culture and entertainment website, AfterEllen, effectively shut down this week. Becca and Shannon try to fathom why and how we missed the warning signs. We also list the few alternatives out there and look for a silver lining in this devastating loss to the LGBT and Queer community. And, as always, we finish with recommendations.
