The Mummy Feels Bi

The Mummy Feels Bi

THE MUMMY (1999)… a cornerstone of bisexual cinema and the bi internet's favorite movie to claim as their own. In this episode we tackle the burning question: what about The Mummy makes it feel SO bi, and why was it so many bi folks' queer awakening? Is it the gorgeous Rachel Weisz and her slutty little librarian glasses, is it Brendan Fraser's pretty boy appeal (those eyes!), is it the erotic sepia tones of the film, or is it the backdrop of a fantasy adventure epic? Join us, bi babes, as we excavate this film's queer coding and its firm standing in the bi cinematic canon in anticipation of a (hopefully more overtly queer) NEW Mummy film (Mummy 4) in the works…🎬

Coyote Ugly Feels Bi with Caroline Blaike

Dust off your daisy dukes and ripped tees, and get ready for a tequila-soaked honky tonk good time at our favorite bra bar… COYOTE UGLY. 🔥 Joined by lesbian performer and ASL interpreter Caroline Blaike of the iconic LA institution Jumbo's Clown Room, we cover everything from the legacy of the original New York saloon to the Hollywood movie it inspired, based on author Elizabeth Gilbert's GQ article. Caroline shares her personal relationship to the film and the Coyote Ugly-themed dance events she's organized as we uncover what about a female-owned and operated bra bar feels so inherently queer (Maria Bello as "Lil," for starters). Amanda shares a *bi awakening* she experienced at the Coyote Ugly in Austin, and Caroline ideates her dream sapphic nightlife spot: "Mob Wife." 💅 We're kicking off Pride with one of our HOTTEST episodes yet, bi babes 😘

Moomin Feels Bi with Taylor Blackwell

Who famously U-hauled it to a Finnish island with her life partner? Tove Jansson, queer creator of the adorable, beloved Finnish illustrative series Moomin, or Moomintrolls. Joined by artist, performer, and Zine-creator Taylor Blackwell, we delve into the whimsical, wonderful queer utopia that is Moominvalley, unpacking the queer history of Tove and her work, which has experienced a renaissance in recent years, especially among the queer community. Taylor discusses their own relationship to Tove Jansson and Moomin, the sapphic symbolism of ghosts, which Moomin character Taylor resonates most with, and whether or not Paddington Bear and Nyan Cat feel queer (spoiler: the answer is yes). Come on an adventure through Moominvalley with us, bi babes, and soak up the wonder and whimsy! 🌈

Joined by THE Heather Mooney of Romy & Michele: The Musical, Jordan Kai Burnett, we unpack the non-traditional, queer-coded friendship at the center of the story (two high femmes obsessed with one another), Jordan's experience playing Heather Mooney in the musical adaptation, Lisa Luder's iconic white suit, bicon Alan Cumming, why Amanda has never been to her high school reunion, and Erin's theory that this movie was a David Lynch favorite. Throw on Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and grab Sandy Frink + your high femme bff as we dance our way through this queer-coded classic.

Warped Tour Feels Bi with Becca Grischow
