We Have a HUGE Announcement!

Sam and Lizzie deprogram some serious queer relationship drama in David Fincher's The Social Network starring Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, and honorary gay Andrew Garfield. We also debunk the myth that Mark Zuckerberg is an especially good coder, learn how to program, and discover yet another niche ship from the bowels of the gay internet. David Fincher, we heart you please accept our friend request!

Lizzie and Sam light one up for 4/20 stoner movie staple Dude, Where's My Car? from the year Y2K starring hot idiots Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott. We do an academic deep dive into the history of the HIMBO and take a nostalgia loop through the sometimes charming, sometimes cringe humor of this stoner classic.  Link: Lizzie's Himbo Cinematic Universe Watchlist Clip: Tattoo Clip: Better than Fabio Follow us on social  @subtextualpod Youtube | Instagram |TikTok | Letterboxd Subtextual is hosted by Lizzie Doria & Sam De La Fuente Edited by Gerald Lee | Engineered by Lee Garcia Produced by Lee Garcia & Gerald Lee & Bruno Doria Music by DJKNEAUX

Lizzie and Sam set off on an adventure with 90s epic, The Mummy, starring Rachel Weisz (longtime icon of the pod) and Brendan Fraser (the himbo of your dreams). We also consult The Mummy experts and friends of the pod Lauren (@lserver362) and Tishon Pugh (@tishyp_) to dive into what it means to unearth your own queerness, the importance of mythology, and to reckon with the sheer number of hot people and beetles in this film.  Pic: Anck-Su-Namun made us question everything Pic: Bernard Burns, American cutie pie Clip: Camel racing is cute Clip: Rick's crush on Evelyn Here are some recent books on queer and trans history if you feel like a deep dive into the historical side of subtextuality!

Sam and Lizzie had it coming with one of the most highly awarded musical adaptations of all time, CHICAGO starring Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Queen Latifah. This story celebrates 100 years of queer subtlety and we go through which queer characters have gone "straight" through the adaptations and which queer characters shine through from day one. We sort through about a dozen vocal stims and the entire history of vaudeville so sit back and enjoy the show! Clip: Queen Latifah's "When You're Good to Mama" Watch the video episode on Youtube!

Sam and Lizzie cross over to the other side with toe-curling, supernatural-romancing, pottery-throwing classic GHOST starring Whoopi Goldberg, Demi Moore, and Patrick Swayze.
