Merry Christmas! To celebrate the big day, editrix Maunsell returns for the pod’s second Lindsay Lohan movie, Our Little Secret (Netflix 2024), a movie we found more stressful than fun with a few shining exceptions. Thank you for listening to another season!

Does Netflix’s new release for 2024, The Merry Gentlemen, live up to its reputation as the Magic Mike of Christmas movies? No! And boy do we have a lot to say about why. This is our discoursiest episode of the season, so get ready to dig in to a discussion of sex work, homonormativy, masculinity on film, and the anatomy of a great onscreen kiss. Gizmo the dog’s Instagram account, arguably the most important character in this movie. Next week: Our Little Secret! ---Did you watch this movie too?

Tello’s Christmas at the Ranch (2021) is our explicitly queer movie for the season. Lesbian farmhands! Horses! Questionable makeup application techniques! We brought in special guest, former horse girl Alex for their pony person perspective on a film we had high hopes for. Enjoy Heather Hogan’s Autostraddle review of this movie that Nicole mentions. Next week: The Merry Gentlemen!***Did you watch this movie too?

Let's talk about the catfish in the room! Netflix’s Love Hard (2021) is a movie Nicole calls the offspring of How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and She’s All That. We wanted even more discourse so we’re trying a new format this week where we speed-run our summary of the movie so we can get to the juicy stuff. What biases do dating platforms reproduce? Why can’t these characters connect to their own desires? Can you even catfish in a queer community?Justice for all the chubby, rat-tailed, mulleted, stone cold weirdos out there! May you all desire what you desire and give less fucks. Next week: Christmas at the Ranch! ***Did you watch this movie too?

Gay tidings and happy December! We are starting season 3 with Vanessa Hudgen’s Netflix christmas classic, The Knight Before Christmas. The anachronisms are neither hither nor tither in this delightfully bland movie. Suspend your disbelief and join us in this festive romp through time, space, and at times, reason. Here’s the Vulture article Nicole mentions that theorizes how this movie might fit into the Princess Switch timeline. Next week: Love Hard! -Did you watch this movie too?

Nicole and Julie have yuled up and tallied their naughty deeds for our season finale, where they'll tell us about Prime’s 2022 Something From Tiffany’s. It’s got surprise proposals, it’s got jewelry mixups, it’s got a lesbian couple who (obviously) should be the stars. Thank you for joining us for Season 2! We love you! Did you watch this movie too?

Nicole and Julie are joined by holiday movie aficionado and friend of the pod Sarah Trower to discuss the 2023 Netflix release Best. Christmas. Ever! starring singer/songwriter/actor/queen of our hearts Brandy and some other people. Discourse includes straight white people nonsense, how cheated we all feel at the absence of Mariah Carey, and how not to be a friend. As usual, by the end of the episode, we fix all the problems with this movie through queerness and non-monogamy. Enjoy!Did you watch this movie too?

Nicole, Julie, and the most LinkedIn-endorsed APIAQT podcast guest Hadley Staite complete their discussion in part 2 of our look at Princess Switch 3: Because It’s Christmas, That’s Why. Don’t worry, we’ve got all the discourse in this half. How sophisticated is the justice system in this world? Does this movie adequately address the complexities of explicitly but only briefly mentioning that one of the characters is Filipena? And of course: who is queer-coded, why aren’t these characters canonically bi and are the straight people in this movie ok?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
