This week, Catherine and Maddie discuss the life and career of Demi Lovato, the fluid queen of the music industry who recently accepted the label “pansexual” on Joe Rogan’s (icky) podcast. Demi is one of the first celebrities to open up and be vulnerable about her experiences and struggles as a child star, an addict, and a survivor; her honesty is refreshing, but this may be a triggering episode for some. If you’re up for it, please join us for a discussion about trauma, addiction, growth, and froyo.

“But Catherine,” Madison said. “How in the world are we going to make Twilight ~*queer*~?” They were forced to swallow their words when Catherine cried, “Hold my beer, spider monkey!” Join us this week for a prosecutorial investigation of the vampire sensation, Twilight, as a piece of queer media where we break down Stephanie Meyer’s intent for this sparkly romance and view it through the lens of queer theory.

Uh oh. This one devolved into a bit of a rant. Please join Catherine and Madison as they discuss the complicated politics of the 2001 cult classic musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch in which writer, actor, and director John Cameron Mitchell explores gender and identity through the lens of drag and trauma. What do you think? Is there still room for Hedwig in the world of queer media or have we outgrown this narrative?--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queerpressurepc/support

What a spicy tale! This week, Catherine and Maddie undertake The Handmaiden — not the Handmaid’s Tale — a Korean psychological thriller in three parts that, refreshingly, centres a sapphic love story. Join us for a conversation about the power women (and other marginalized folks) can harness when they work together, how to use erotica effectively in storytelling, and how a piece of queer media can transcend the genre and stand out as truly breathtaking. You’re going to need a cold shower after this one, but you don’t want to miss it!

It’s not about cookware! This week, Catherine and Maddie take on Canadian sitcom, Schitt’s Creek, starring Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Annie Murphy. This groundbreaking comedy centers not only a queer romance, but an openly pansexual character in what may be the first in-depth exploration of pansexuality on TV.

Elliot Page is trans! And this week, Catherine and Maddie do a deep-dive into his career and the impact his coming out has had and will continue to have on the LGBTQIA community. Contrary to the messaging from some TERFy lesbians out there, we aren’t losing a lesbian, we’re gaining a trans brother. We love you, Elliot!

Christmas Rom-Coms are a staple of the holiday season, but before Kristen Stewart made it okay to be a Christmas Lesbian, we Queers were always left out of the festivities. This year, Queer Pressure Podcast presents their special Christmas radio play: Queer Love, Actually.

Join us for some Yuletide cheer, Vampire Grinches, and some dirty fan fiction.

In their season finale, Catherine and Maddie take on tiny giant, Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus, an adult romance novel by Chuck Tingle that centers two trans characters in a cheesy romantic plot with a twist. Crack some bubbly and join us for a talk on JK Rowling (the Queen of the TERFs), queer erotica, and the power of satire.

It’s canon, y’all! This week, Catherine and Maddie take a crack at the most popular slash ship in all the land: Destiel, of the CW’s prevailing paranormal television series, Supernatural. Dean and Castiel have been playing the will-they, won’t-they game for almost ten years, but how did the fans react to Cass’ emotional confession of love? Tune in for the tea about Supernatural’s persistent queer-baiting, the history of Wincest (yes, that was really a thing), and the power of Fandom.

With the right tools in your arsenal, you can revolutionize the world. This week, Catherine and Maddie break down heavy-hitter, Revolutionary Girl Utena, a magical girl shojo anime with several dark turns. Tune in for a discussion about oppressive societal structures (ahem, the patriarchy), Japanese color theory, and thinly veiled allusions to genitals.

Not all queerness in media is explicit. Sometimes, queer subtext is king. This week, Catherine and Maddie take on Naruto, the legendary manga/anime about a young ninja seeking recognition from his peers. Dive deep into queer coding, queer baiting, and why sissifying your villains can teach people to internalize fear and hate.

It’s Anime Month, you weebs! This week, Catherine and Maddie take on Bloom Into You, a girl-love anime about a pair of young women learning to love each other and love themselves. Our main character, Yuu, is a grey aromantic who just wants to feel love and her senpai, Touko, has spent her entire life trying to be someone else. When they come together, the pair must learn how to support each other and discover the deepest parts of themselves.

To kick off Anime Month (that’s right, weebs, it’s Anime Month), Catherine and Maddie take on the gay figure skating anime that took the world by storm in 2016: Yuri! on Ice. This anime tracks the romantic relationship between figure-skater Yuri Katsuki and his coach, Victor Nikivorov, while Yuri trains for the Grand Prix Finals. It may seem fluffy, but it deals heavy emotional blows by allowing each character to process their inner turmoil on the ice.

Brokeback Mountain: This week, Catherine and Maddie take on a big-hitter, the 2005 gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain starring Jake Gyllenhal and Heath Ledger. One of the first queer movies of its kind, Brokeback Mountain portrayed a love story between two cowboys over the course of 20 years and dealt with things we’re still talking about today, including the fluidity of sexuality, violent homophobia, and toxic masculinity.

This week, Catherine and Maddie dive head first into the 2018 Kenyan drama film, Rafiki (meaning ‘friend’ in Swahili), directed by upcoming superstar, Wanuri Kahiu. This classic coming-of-age story about star-crossed lesbians falling in love was the subject of a lot of backlash for portraying homosexuality without remorse and was banned by the Kenya Film Classification Board, but we think it marks the beginning of a new age in Kenyan cinema. Join us for a conversation about mixed reviews, western supremacy, and African art.

Or is it time to have a conversation about the corrupting influence power and money can have on even the most well-intentioned?
