Episode 1 - Romance

Episode 2 - Male Homosexuality

As a palate cleanser for last month’s episode focusing on heterocentric romance, our discussion this month revolves around films representative of the LGBTQIA+ — particularly the topic of male homosexuality in cinema. Join us, as we talk about cruising, murder, and the abundant need for more queer storylines that don’t centralise “coming out” in cinema.

Episode 1 - Romance

For our first episode, we take a critical look at all things romance, as portrayed by three distinct films: The Seven Year Itch (1955, dir. by Billy Wilder), Lars and the Real Girl (2007, dir. by Craig Gillespie), and — everyone’s favourite — The Kissing Booth (2018, dir. by Vincent Marcello). Find out about toxic masculinity, heterocentric romance myths, and how a sex doll brings together an entire community.
