Happy Pride Month! This week we discuss Hollywood and LGBTQIA+ representation. We talk about the age-old question: should straight actors play gay roles? We also look at the best and worst LGBTQIA+ representation in film and TV and share our love for Sarah Paulson and her crying. Pop culture moments of the week include Billie Eilish's problematic new boyfriend, a Frenemies update and the Kardashian's reunion. We now have a Patreon with TWO bonus episodes released each month! Celebrity Corner and Bad Book Club are out NOW! Join our Culture Gang!
