Queer Projection
This is a movie podcast about finding queer themes damn near everywhere. Hosts Alethia St. Joan and Danny Carroll share a 30+ year friendship that has been bound together by a shared love for movies. A trans woman and a gay man respectively, Alethia and Danny explore what these movies meant to them while they were young and closeted, and what revisiting these movies means for the actualized, arguably maladjusted adults they’ve become. It’s a heady, often crass and sometimes crude blend - part nostalgia trip, part queer theory, part film criticism. Check it out!

Punch-Drunk Love
Is it only natural to be envious of Paul Thomas Anderson's career? Is Emily Watson an alien? Could a movie like this survive modern neurodivergence discourse without becoming a movie about two autistic adults falling in weird love? Let's revisit one of the best romcoms of our romantic teenage years and find out. SHUT-SHUT-SHUT the door, draw the blinds, and come join us.
