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!

It's time to tackle one of the most important movies in our decades long friendship. How is this our favorite movie if it isn't even our favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie? What was it about this frog-fallin' fantasia of human suffering that dealt such a glancing blow to our adolescent brains? We take apart this treasured ensemble film to try and see what made it tick, and why after so many years it still sits at the front of our minds. We're celebrating this movie in TWO parts, just like the OG VHS tape that we watched way back when. Enjoy!
