Imagine Me & You (2005)
Monday Nov 18, 2024
Monday Nov 18, 2024
Sam and Lizzie yell up from their diaphragms for British lesbo romcom Imagine Me & You starring Piper Perabo and Lena Headey. And we know what you're thinking, NO ITS NOT SUBTEXUAL but YES YOU WILL ENJOY IT. We could all use a bit of brain bleach to cleanse the palette, so dip in for some trifle and a cuppa and enjoy a true HEA.

Monday Oct 28, 2024
Monday Oct 28, 2024
Lizzie and Sam have a bloody fantastic time at prom with 1976 classic horror film CARRIE! From the twisted first novel of Stephen King, we find a lot of characters soaked in subtextuality and wait for the bucket of blood to drop. Happy Halloween and let the blood letting begin!

Alien (1979) with Brodie LeBlue
Monday Oct 21, 2024
Monday Oct 21, 2024
Sam and Lizzie with returning guest Brodie go to space where no one can hear them scream for spookober classic ALIEN! This film sits at the intersection of groundbreaking and perfection, and is infused with so much underlying sexuality we are basically offering you a masterclass. From lesbian icon Ripley, to the xenomorph as a standin for the gender binary, this film gives so much more than you bargained for.

Spooktober Rerun: The Haunting (1999)
Monday Oct 07, 2024
Monday Oct 07, 2024
Sam and Lizzie revisit the spooky, bicurious world of The Haunting to kick off a month of horror classics! To date this film holds one of the lowest Subtextual scores and is a movie we will never forget for better and for worst. The queer baiting of it all, the beheadery, the sheer lunacy spanning over 60 years of film remakes. Happy haunting!
