Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian PodcastSBG 135: Death Becomes HerWelcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that hates Gay Halloween. What do you mean you’re Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn as Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp at Ernest’s funeral?This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about why the 1992 satirical body horror-comedy Death Becomes Her Should’ve Been Gay. Although not everything in this film ages well (that fat suit was 100% not okay), the overall campiness and pure diva star power of Meryl and Goldie sharing the screen make this a must-watch in our books. Death Becomes Her fee...2024-11-0459 min

Despite the severe underutilization of Katy O’Brian, we actually enjoyed Twisters and think the movie did a good job of showing the emotional impact and devastation of severe storms on th...2024-10-211h 11

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about Kristen Stewart’s 2024 sapphic crime-thriller Love Lies Bleeding for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. This movie is a wild ride, and we think it is more enjoyable to go into it with as little information as possible. Be sure to watch the film before listening, as there are many spoilers ahead! However, if you...2024-10-151h 17

This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and try to nail down what it is that makes them both so freaking gay. Between Leigh voting Ellie most likely to not see a straight person for 3 years and Ellie voting Leigh most likely to get recognized at Home Depot, this was truly meant to be a deeply unserious episode. However, it takes a bit of a turn when Ellie goes into a whole existential crisis t...2024-09-301h 02
Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian PodcastSBG 130: Zenon: Girl of the 21st CenturyWelcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to make your heart go boom, boom, supernova girl (gender neutral). This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why the classic 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie, Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, Should’ve Been Gay. This movie was queer MAJOR, and if you were a kid in the 90s like us, phrases like “Cetus lupeedus!” are most likely still living rent free in your head. For those of you who have not seen Zenon, the story follows a 13 year old girl livi...2024-08-261h 07

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about why the 2015 movie Mad Max: Fury Road Should’ve Been Gay. Honestly, nothing could have prepared us for how gay and campy this movie is. It’s basically leather daddies vs. dykes on bikes in a post-apocalyptic desert. We could not resist covering this film in honor of the recent release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, available to watch in theaters now. Furi...2024-06-171h 05

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about the 2022 Amazon Prime series A League of Their Own for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. This series was based on the 1992 film of the same name and featured an absolutely stacked cast. Literally everyone is in this show (Even Rosie O’Donnell!). Of course we cannot talk about ALOTO without first talking about the upsetting and completely undeserved can...2024-05-281h 30

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Kaitlynn and Theora, the co-hosts of Big Gay Energy Podcast (@biggayenergypod), to talk about why the MCU mini-series Hawkeye Should’ve Been Gay. This show is absolutely overflowing with gay energy and wildly queer casting choices, yet only has one canonically gay character. In spite of that sad fact, we can honestly read every single character in this mini-series as some flavor of queer (yes, even Clint). If you’...2024-05-201h 14

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Alix Markman (@markwoman), television and video game writer and returning podcast guest, to talk about why the 2004 campy, spooky action masterpiece Van Helsing Should’ve Been Gay. If you are like Leigh and somehow managed not to see the chaotic bisexual fever dream that is Van Helsing 2004, the movie is essentially The Avengers for classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and the good ol’ fashion werewolf...2024-05-061h 27

If you’ve been a listener for a while, you’re likely aware of how much Leigh in particular was really rooting for JoJo Siwa. But even Leigh can’t excuse the complete mess that JoJo has created for herself. Honestly, every mistake...2024-04-291h 14

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why the 2018 crime comedy A Simple Favor Should’ve Been Gay(er). This movie is honestly a masterpiece. It stars Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick, Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), and queer icon Linda Cardellini. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this movie somehow, it follows the story of two moms, Stephanie and Emily, who meet at their kids’ schoo...2024-04-221h 09

This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about one of the most controversial and widely read pieces of modern lesbian “literature” on the internet, the Lesbian Masterdoc. The 31-page document titled “Am I a lesbian?” first appeared in 2018 and experienced a rather large resurgence during the pandemic shutdowns of 2020 (when people actually had enough time to read a 31-page document). For those of you who somehow managed to avoid reading the Masterdoc, it is essentially ev...2024-04-151h 11
Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast716: Lez-ssentials BoundWelcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is in its Wachowski Sisters Era. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about the 1996 crime thriller Bound for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. Even though this film is from the 90s, it still has some of the best lesbian representation, including a sex scene that doesn’t just cut away to crashing waves and a happy ending a la Thelma and Louise where our lesbians escape together while making out in a pickup truck. ...2024-04-081h 13

This film is based on a graphic novel and is set in a dystopian British society that is overrun by fascism. While it certainly made a splash in 2005, it really hits different watching it now after experiencing the tumultuous political environment of the past few years.Whether you’ve...2024-04-011h 03

Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast715: Forbidden LoveWelcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is a little concerned about what the queer community’s obsession with ‘forbidden romance’ says about us. This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about the trope that has historically overwhelmingly dominated queer media- forbidden love. The allure of forbidden love makes it a popular trope across all media, not just queer media, and dates all the way back to Romeo and Juliet. However, forbidden love is so overrepresented in queer media that it is difficult to even name a story where it isn’t...2024-03-111h 03

We do not think it is possible for there to be a more perfect guest for this episode than Giovannie who actually escaped from a biblical doomsday cult as a teenager. She had just recently left the cult when Saved! came out and helped her to process her religious trauma through super relatable humor (and...2024-03-041h 18

If you spend any time on lesbian TikTok you are likely familiar with Halie Torris’ paintings. The videos of her music-inspired paintings set to songs like Fletcher’s Cherry and Taylor Swift’s Maroon have gone viral multiple times, demonstrating just ho...2024-02-261h 05

This film had an incredibly limited theatrical run, but still managed to end up with an astounding (and well-deserved) 90% critic-score on Rotten Tomatoes. If you have not had a chance to watch Bottoms yet, we highly recommend renting it before listening to this ep...2024-01-291h 11

Audrey’s parents adopted her from China and they are overjoyed when Lolo’s family moves to their small extremely white town because they want thei...2024-01-221h 17

Before diving into the plot, we do want to provide a quick content warning that although this is largely a comedy, there is a scene that includes a graphic description of sexual assault. If you’re a fan of Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda like we are, you absolutely have to wat...2023-12-181h 04
