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!

Get your tissues, gurl. This is for the kids who love to cry. And laugh, and cry, and laugh, and then cry again. I know we love it. This movie asks, among other questions, what does it mean to be a woman? And while right-wing pundits hammer that question home for nefarious reasons, we have a much more heartfelt answer brought to us via power-house performances by Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Featuring MacLaine's famous Oscar line "I deserve this, thank you." Now let's hold hands and endure what this podcast (and life) has in store for us.
