Gal Pals Watch - Gal Pals Watch Antonia's Line
play

05/24/19 • 30 min

Episode 37: Antonia's Line [CW for rape, suicide, and ableism] Did you like Chocolat but wish it had less Johnny Depp and more women's empowerment? Well, Antonia's Line definitely does not have Johnny Depp and does have slightly more women's empowerment, so it might be up your alley! This 1995 Dutch movie about 4 generations of women who don't need men at all (one of whom is so gay!!) won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and was described as a 'feminist fairy tale,' which is more or less accurate. Join Alicia and Sarah as they discuss this cool multigenerational family saga that takes place in a quirky European village, and how artichokes are gay! Further reading: Antonia's Line Wikipedia page

Episode 27: Trigger Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Tig Notaro played an aging rock star whose relationship with her former music partner is tenuous but also with very gay undertones? Maybe you will like this 2010 Canadian film! (Tig Notaro isn't in it. One of the actors just reminds us of her.) Things mentioned: Trigger Wikipedia page

Gal Pals Watch - Gal Pals Watch Disobedience
play

07/13/18 • 56 min

In this inaugural episode, Alicia and Sarah discuss the highly anticipated and poorly marketed Lesbian DramaTM Disobedience starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams! They gush about character development, the portrayal of sex (and bodily fluids!), the elements of the story they thought were unique/important/great/terrible, and about gay ladies. We all love gay ladies.

Hi queeros! This month Alicia and Sarah are discussing the 2022 British film Blue Jean, which is, in fact, quite blue. Join us as we talk closeted anxiety, how unhinged it is to legislate against queer and trans people, extra bad stereotypes, and also how aesthetic this movie is.

Hi vampire gays! Today Alicia and Sarah are talking about the 2017 film The Carmilla Movie -- yes, the very one based off of the 2014-16 web series that is very much of its time! It's very queer, and kind of confusing, but who isn't, ya know? Enjoy!

Episode 68: Addicted to Fresno Helloooo lovely listeners! This month we're headed to Cali, but it's the part of Cali people like to dump on, aka Fresno! In this 2015 film, Natasha Lyonne and Aubrey Plaza are gay for each other but not enough. A bunch of other stuff happens including Sister Drama and Murder, but you'll have to listen (and watch the movie, you could do that too if you want) to find out what. Enjoy!

Gal Pals Watch - Gal Pals Watch Tell It To The Bees
play

03/13/20 • 29 min

Episode 58: Tell it to The Bees Hi, 1950s lesbians! This movie is real bad but we watched it for you anyway! Taking place in postwar Britain and involving a lot of Lesbian Staring, a precocious skinny white kid, rape, racism, senseless magical realism, and weird CGI bees, this movie is not our favorite. But you can listen us get mad/laugh at it, and talk about how boring straights are!
