Show Notes
Comedian Steve Hernandez joins us to take a look at Universal's splashy gay rom-com. We talk about where it sits in queer cinema history and whether it delivered on its promises (of both the "rom" and "com" varieties).
Then, we get some characters from movies past set up with podcasting narrators of their own.
