Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants you to take your polycule on a trip around Gaysia. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why Adele Lim’s 2023 comedy Joy Ride Should’ve Been Gay. For those of you unfamiliar with the film, Joy Ride opens with main characters Audrey and Lolo becoming best friends forever in the absolute cutest meet-cute we have ever seen. 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 their daughter to have a friend she fits in with. Lolo immediately becomes Audrey’s biggest defender and supporter, knocking out playground bullies and telling off racist kids at their school.When the movie fast forwards to adulthood Lolo and Audrey are as close as ever, so close that they literally live together. When Audrey has to go to China to close a business deal, Lolo offers to come along as an interpreter. Once in China they link up with Lolo’s cousin Deadeye, a heavily online K-Pop stan, and Kat, an accomplished actress who happens to be Audrey’s old college roommate. When Audrey’s first attempt to close the business deal is a huge flop, she is given one chance to fix it. She has to bring her birth mother to a party at the end of the week to do damage control. The only problem is, Audrey has very limited information on how to track down her birth mother. The four friends take off to find the agency that facilitated Audrey’s adoption and the adventure quickly turns to total drug-fueled chaos. The potential for a romantic relationship between Lolo and Audrey is obvious from the moment they meet as children on the playground. However, there is equally enough chemistry to go around with Kat. Audrey has clearly been enamored with Kat since their college acapella days and if Lolo’s obsession with Kat’s vagina tattoo is any indication, she is absolutely interested in her too. They may start off as frenemies, but there is something else brewing just under the surface. Lolo is actually canonically bisexual, but the movie only mentions it once in passing and to our dismay does not spend any time exploring it. Our polycule could not be complete without Deadeye who we read as a nonbinary, neurodivergent gray-ace. Deadeye can literally beatbox. What straight person does that?We know one thing for sure, Joy Ride Should’ve Been Gay. Follow us on Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to hypnotize you via app.This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Shantell Yasmine Abeydeera (@shantell_yasmine_abeydeera), writer/actor/producer/director and founder of Thornbyrd Films, a queer-female led production company, and triple threat (actor/writer/producer) Emily Goss (@emilygoss650) to talk about Thornbyrd’s 2023 psychological thriller Healed. If you haven’t had a chance to watch the film yet, you can rent it now on Amazon Prime. We highly recommend taking the time to watch it before listening, as this episode is very spoiler heavy.We talked with Emily and Shantell Yasmine (Yaz) about the creation of Thornbyrd Films, the utilization of genre films like Healed as catalysts for important conversations that can inspire social change within a broader audience, and why it is so refreshing to not have to watch yet another coming out story. We love how Healed kicks off without explaining to the audience how we got to this point. It introduces the main characters as an already established married couple, making no attempts to explain Olivia’s pregnancy or how the characters got together. Healed follows the story of celebrity couple Olivia, played by Emily Goss, and Jazz, played by Yaz, as they attend an intimate meditation retreat at the invitation of renowned mindfulness expert Georgia. Although the retreat at first feels like a nice getaway, particularly for the heavily pregnant and overwhelmed Olivia, it quickly becomes clear that all is not as it seems. When Georgia’s unorthodox therapy sessions evoke troubling memories for Jazz, she becomes skeptical of Georgia’s methods. As she digs deeper, Jazz uncovers a sinister plot that puts her and Olivia at the center of a research experiment that neither of them would have ever consented to. This film feels like Get Out and The Miseducation of Cameron Post had a lovechild. Although the storyline heavily deals with the traumas of conversion therapy and internalized biphobia, we feel that it works really well as a thriller. It can be hard as queer people to watch movies like Cameron Post, because the traumas hit a little too close to home. However, when conversion therapy is approached as the basis for a thriller, it takes on a whole different feeling, with the mystery serving as a sort of barrier between the viewer and the would-be trauma of it all. If you are a fan of suspenseful thrillers with wild twists and turns, you will love Healed. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Hi #Barbie! Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that’s full of L- Leigh! E- Ellie! Z- Zeal! This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) finally get a chance to dish about the 4000 reasons why Greta Gerwig’s hit 2023 film Barbie Should’ve Been Gay. From the second she steps onto the screen in all of her pink glory, Margot Robbie’s Barbie is giving gay. There were so many choices made for this film and every single one of them screams homosexual. The biggest choice being her glaringly obvious disinterest in any Ken ever. Not only does she not like-like any of the Kens, she doesn’t even seem to register that they are interested in her! Barbie is so taken aback by Ken’s desire to spend the night at her Dream House because they are “boyfriend/girlfriend” that she immediately spirals into an existential crisis that creates a rift in the fabric of the universe. Everything from this moment on is Barbie’s coming out journey as she awakens from the fog of heteronormativity. She is given a choice, to stay in the closet or to take the Birkenstock and have her eyes opened to the Real World. If you have a heterosexual explanation for this choice, we would honestly love to hear it. We follow Barbie’s journey into the Real World where she encounters more disappointing men and narrowly escapes being put back into the closet (the Barbie Box) by Mattel with the help of Gloria. As soon as these two are onscreen together, it becomes impossible not to ship them. Let #Glorbie kiss, you cowards! While Glorbie are off shining, Ken is making it literally the entire world’s problem that the girl he likes doesn’t like him back. This is somehow enough justification for him and the other Kens to brainwash all of the Barbies in Barbie Land, overthrow the all-women government, and steal every Dream House. It is a bit outrageous how much screen time Ken and other male characters are given in a movie called Barbie. Even at the end when the Barbies take Barbie Land back from the grips of the patriarchy, Ken still doesn’t quite get it through his head that Barbie and him are not going to be a couple. Barbie on the other hand has never felt more clearly about who she is and who she no longer can pretend to be. She is simply too gay to go back to her old heteronormative life in Barbie Land; and she has to leave that world behind to embrace her new life with Gloria and their daughter. We know one thing for sure, Barbie Should’ve Been Gay. Follow us on the platform formerly known as Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

90 Day Fiancé? You mean the show that made U-Hauling mainstream? This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with comedian and 90 Day Fiancé expert Cara Connors (@caraconnscomedy) to discuss the inherent gayness of getting married in 90 days, how much money it would take us to go 'straight for pay' and how a gigantic lesbian became a hit in middle America.When the pandemic hit, Cara had her own life parallel 90 Day Fiancé when a person she just met basically moved in with her overnight and introduced her to the wonderful world of 90 Day Fiancé. They watched every single episode and Cara started doing her own impersonations of every couple. That's when she decided to put those impersonations up on Instagram and the rest is history. Cara became an icon for Middle America and #TLC fans everywhere.We dive in deep to talk about all of the queer couples that have been on 90 Day Fiancé, especially the train wreck that is Stephanie and Erika, 90 Days first lesbian couple. Yes, Stephanie is the one who was selling her farts in jars and ended up in the hospital because of it. We speculate about if Kenneth, lesbian Gordon Ramsay, and Armando, his much younger husband, will make it after being married for 2 years. And of course, we couldn't talk about 90 Day without talking about Big Ed and his obsession with bisexual wives.Follow us on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to help you get revenge on the terrible men from your past! This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why the 2022 comedy film Moving On Should’ve Been Gay(er). 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 watch this film! Lily Tomlin plays Evelyn, a kickass lesbian who is 100% down to be an accessory to murder for her old bestie Claire, played by Jane Fonda. This movie is quite literally octogenarian Do Revenge. While it IS gay in the way that one of the main characters really is a lesbian, it’s just not gay in the way we want it to be. The entire plot revolves around Claire wanting to finally get revenge on the man who assaulted her 46 years prior now that his wife Joyce has passed away. Joyce was not only gal pals with both Claire and Evelyn back in college, but was fully dating Evie in what was a rather poorly kept secret relationship. Evelyn loudly and proudly proclaims at Joyce’s funeral that the two of them were lovers, which would have probably been the wildest thing to happen at the funeral had Claire not also openly threatened to kill a man.As Evelyn and Claire bond over plotting to murder a truly horrendous man (which honestly, is there anything more lesbian than that?), the chemistry between the two sparks off the charts. Although they do not end up together and seem committed to insisting that Claire is straight, we know sapphic love when we see it. We talk about all the queerest things in the film from Claire constantly flagging with her rainbow scarf to the extremely flamboyantly gay choice of a flare gun as a potential murder weapon to Claire retrieving the (incredibly explicit) love letters Evelyn wrote for Joyce way back when and Evie bonding with a sweet baby queer and possibly trans/nonbinary child at the retirement home.We know one thing for sure, Moving On Should’ve Been Gay(er). Follow us on the platform formerly known as Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast brought to you by the color PINK!This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with TikTok educational content creator Nikita Redkar (@nikitadumptruck) to discuss the nuanced topics of labeling sexuality, gatekeeping within the queer community, and why everything wrong with -gestures vaguely- can be traced right back to Reagan. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to learn about politics, current news and economics directly from Cher Horowitz, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Elle Woods all wrapped into one very pink high femme girly, you’re in the right place. Back in the early days of the pandemic it seemed like everyone and their roommate was reading the Lesbian Master Doc and heavily analyzing their gender and sexuality. While there are some useful things in the master doc if you do happen to be a lesbian, it gets complicated when considering how difficult it can be to really tell the difference between societally influenced attraction to men and organic attraction to men. When Nikita first came out as bisexual in 2016, the label felt like it fit her perfectly. Then, in 2019, fueled both by having learned about compulsory heterosexuality from the master doc and by recognizing that she was more drawn to women and feminine leaning people than she was to men or masculinity, the lesbian label felt like a better fit. As a full time TikToker with a heavily queer following, Nikita found that as she posted more overtly lesbian content, she was celebrated and welcomed more strongly by the community. She started to really lean into her newfound identity, even getting a septum piercing (that she didn’t even really want that much) as a way of flagging.In 2021, Nikita realized that she may have leaned a little too hard, too fast into identifying as a lesbian. She began to feel anxiety over the idea of having to come out publicly all over again as a bisexual, knowing that this change could cause backlash from some of her lesbian followers. While we like to think that most lesbians are welcoming and accepting of bisexual women, shifting labels back and forth can also trigger defensive feelings in those whose own sexuality was accused of being ‘just a phase’. Although Nikita is out about being bi to her family and friends, internalized shame and anxiety over possible negative reactions has caused her to keep the closet door shut on her TikTok. We dive into navigating the nuances of labels and talk about some of the ways in which bisexuals have historically been treated poorly or seen as less queer by certain sectors of the community and why gatekeeping typically does more harm than good.Follow us on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast for people who see dead people by people who see dead people.This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why the 2022 (slightly obscure) film Darby and the Dead Should’ve Been Gay. For anyone unfamiliar with this movie, it not only stars Auli'i Cravalho as Capri (short for Capricorn, the queerest name of all time), but also features a trans cheerleader played by the one and only Nicole Maines!The film centers around main character Darby who thanks to a freak accident is able to see and communicate with dead people. She is a full time Hot Topic gay and afterschool medium who uses her powers to help “deados” move on. Naturally this means she is not exactly a hit with the kids in her high school, especially when it comes to ex-bestie and current super popular cheerleader Capri. But things begin to shift from enemies to lovers when Capri dies by accidental electrocution and turns to Darby for help. In addition to helping Capri, Darby is also getting to know the new kid at school, Alex, who spends pretty much the entire movie attempting to come out to her (as able to see dead people). In the end, Darby and Alex do pair off, mainly because Capri had to move on eventually and felt she could do so after confessing her love for Darby. We debate about whether Alex and Darby are both queer and in a straight-passing relationship with each other or if they are fully bearding. We know one thing for sure, Darby and the Dead Should’ve Been Gay. Follow us on the platform formerly known as Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Grab some hot cocoa and settle in for a chance to experience Frozen Should’ve Been Gay again for the first time:Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) are joined by Amanda Holland (@awkwardholland), the creator of GirlshipTV (@girlshiptv) to talk about why Frozen Should've Been Gay.Why does Disney refuse to give Elsa a girlfriend?

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants you to, “Check her texts!!!!”. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about A24’s 2022 slasher-comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. Before we go any further, please heed this spoiler warning! This episode is spoiler heavy right out the gate, so if you have not yet seen Bodies Bodies Bodies, do that first!We really enjoyed this movie, because of how it flips the Bury Your Gays trope fully on its head. Sure, lots of people end up dead, but not our lesbians! For those less familiar or who did not choose to heed the warning and watch the movie first, the film follows the story of Sophie (played by Amandla Stenberg) and her girlfriend of 6 weeks, Bee. Sophie brings Bee to a mansion party in the middle of nowhere during a hurricane to meet some of the absolute worst people ever (ie. her “friends”), dance, and do lots of drugs while the world collapses around them. These people are in no way actually friends and have negative levels of trust for each other. It’s a recipe for disaster that ramps up to 1 million the second the first body hits the ground. Even though bodies are dropping and accusations are flying, Sophie and Bee somehow remain the most functional couple at the party. Sure, Sophie said ‘I love you’ and Bee didn’t say it back, but what is love if not murdering a veterinary assistant for your girlfriend of six weeks? After all, actions always speak louder than words. Although we do find out that Sophie probably (definitely) cheated on Bee with Jordan, the trauma these lesbians just went through and the secrets they now have to keep on lock from the cops will probably bond them together forever. We can’t wait to see what totally bonkers shenanigans happen at the wedding.At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original song based on Bodies Bodies Bodies, “Bodies”, written by Leigh Holmes Foster and produced by Ellie Brigida.

Welcome back lezzies! Slip into your magical unwashed jeans and get ready for a deep dive into a story of chosen family, sneaky sleepovers, compulsory heterosexuality and classic baby gay chaos. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with writer, comedian, and friend of the pod Colette McInytre (@yungbabayaga) to talk about why The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books Should’ve Been Gay. The first of these books came out on September 11, 2001! That’s right, when we talk about post 9/11 America, we’re talking about an America that knows about the magic of scissoring your besties via shared pants. There are many occasions where we really have to stretch for these SBG’s, but The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is truly a gay treasure trove. For those who aren’t in the know, the series follows a group of gals being pals through high school and into adulthood who stay connected to one another through a shared pair of jeans that magically fits all four of them in spite of them having different body types. There are some strict rules for these pants including the very concerning rule of “Never wash the pants” and the possibly gayest rule, “Boys cannot remove the pants. Only you or another sister can remove the pants”. We follow the journey of the pants as they move between the four teenagers throughout their first summer apart. Each of the girls have a pretty queer storyline, but the one that jumps out the most is definitely Bridget’s soccer camp experience. This girl is going through it. Between the loss of her mom, her massive daddy issues, and her overwhelming thirst for competition and the validation of winning, she is really at the perfect level of vulnerability for comphet to ruin her life. Bridget spends her entire summer trying to seduce her soccer coach and the second she actually gets with him she loses her freaking mind and slips into a horrific depression. Then there is Lena’s story, which may not be as obvious as a gay soccer player but is still pretty darn gay. She spends the summer with her grandparents in Greece frantically trying to avoid the boy they want to set her up with. She constantly hides her body under the absolute dykiest clothing she can find and bounces the second she gets a distress call from Bridget. The other girls, Carmen and Tibby are gloriously queer too. Tibby was practically born in a Birkenstock sandal and Carmen is so plagued by comphet that she thinks crushing on her stepbrother is a viable option. We know one thing for sure, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Should’ve Been Gay. Follow us on the platform formerly known as Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.
