Aural FixationHoward Ashman's queer Disney legacy with Daniel LamminIcons are a dime a dozen here at Aural Fixation (that's what we do... it's what we live for) but heroes are a different kettle of sea-witch – and they don't get more queer-oic than Howard Ashman. For better and for worse, the animated motion pictures produced by the Walt Disney Animation Studios have profoundly shaped the media consumed by children since 1928. Like any entertainment behemoth, quality and fortune has ebbed and flowed, but it was the sheer and singular talent of one queer man that steered Disney’s legacy from their lowest trough to their highest peak....

The Post Credit Podcast205 With Honors (Paging Walt Whitman... And Pagers)On this episode of The Post Credit Podcast, Matt and Drew discuss one of their favorite 90’s movies, though one of the hosts admits it’s not as impactful as it once was. With Honors was made more famous by it’s soundtrack, namely a Madonna track, than for its actual merits but it still finds a way to charm, kept mostly afloat by Pesci’s talent and the adorable likability of Moira Kelly. RIP Gorky, it’s time for Christmas dinner!

I originally brought on Type 1 Qiana Drew and Type None Antonio Vizcarrondo to talk about music and performing but we end up going much deeper into the idea of Type 1 Culture and how Antonio relates to this through his own unspoken connections via culture and food.
