Lez Hang Out | A Lesbian Podcast

Leigh and Ellie dive into Imagine Me & You for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. Imagine Me & You is a 2005 British rom com starring Piper Perabo as Rachel and Lena Headey as Luce. Leigh and Ellie love this movie and have a lot to say about love at first sight, British accents, why this florist is everywhere and the ridiculous DDR scene. Lez-ssentials comes complete with an Imagine Me & You drinking game because every lesbian movie should be accompanied by heavy drinking. This episode also comes with their first original Lez-ssentials song based off of the movie. "You're a Wanker Number 9." Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

In this episode Leigh and Ellie discuss shipping the real life actors who play queer characters on TV or in film together. Why do we ship them? Is it problematic when we ship straight actors together? How can we indulge in the fantasy while being respectful to these real people?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lezhangoutpod.Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the first installment of Should Have Been Gay, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) discuss Xena Warrior Princess and how the show should have been gay. Xena and Gabrielle are the ultimate lesbian couple and should have been able to explicitly be gay on the show. But we can still enjoy the Xena lesbian subtext for dummies.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lezhangoutpod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This one's for you, Poptarts! Leigh and Ellie talk to the writers and stars of Canadian web series Barbelle, Karen Knox and Gwenlyn Cumyn about creating queer content, their favorite moments of season 1 and what's in store for the second season. Barbelle is the story of two lesbian pop stars, Alice and Veronica, who were in love and in a band together, but they break up and still have to give their record label an album and a tour. It's the classic tale of lesbian exes working together with some pretty awesome music on the side. You can watch the first season on KindaTV here!
