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!

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Is this Richard Dreyfuss at his most Bushwick homosexual? Is leaving your family to climb aboard an alien spaceship a form of queer liberation? Do multi-jointed spider-humanoid aliens qualify as twinks because they're thin and hairless? Well, I don't know if you care to have those questions answered, but in this episode we sure try. Check it out!
