  Episode #25

  Calamity Jane (with Ali Williams)

  Jul 13, 20261h 54mS1

  We're extremely happy to be joined by bestselling author Ali Williams, who helps us get to grips with the 1953 musical Calamity Jane. Sort-of-but-not-really based on the actual historical icon of the same name, Calamity Jane is a messy and often yikes-inducing romantic farce that we have wildly differing opinions on. One thing we definitely agree on, though, and that is that it has all the elements to make an excellent lesbian rom-com western Check out Ali's books: https://www.aliwilliams.org/ Music by Goshdarn Rabbit: https://goshdarnrabbit.bandcamp.com/ Donate to Melody's bottom surgery fundraiser: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-robin-get-gender-reassignment-surgery Buy Melody's poetry collection: https://melodyhaze.itch.io/human-heart-explosion References: "Calamity: The Many Lives of Calamity Jane" by Karen R.

  Girls Just Want to Have Fun

  Jun 22, 20261h 18mS1

  You've probably never heard of Girls Just Want to Have Fun: The Movie, but you should have. This mostly-forgotten cult classic is a truly delightful whirlwind of dancing, teenage drama, and many surprising career beginnings. In this episode, we gush over breakdancing nuns, supportive single fathers, and - most unbelievably - a genuinely heartwarming heterosexual romance! But we're still going to make it gay, don't you worry!

  Splash (The 2 Year Anniversary Episode)

  May 18, 20261h 35mS1

  <p>We celebrate two years of Queer Up by once again dipping our toes into the "all mermaids are gay and trans" well. This time, we take a look at Ron Howard's Splash, a film that is both better than it should be, but also not all that great. It is, however, trans as hell. Obviously.</p><br><p>Thank you all so much for sticking around for our second year, and please continue to listen, share, and contact us. We love and adore you all.</p><br><p>CW: Discussions of misogyny, transphobia, forced outing</p><br><p>Music...

  Little Shop of Horrors (with Hamish Steele)

  Apr 6, 20261h 25mS1

  <p>This time around, we're very excited to be joined by Hamish Steele, creator of the comics Deadendia and Go-man!, as well as the Netflix animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park. Hamish has brought us the cult classic comedy horror musical Little Shop of Horrors (1986), a film that's practically oozing with queer and trans vibes. We discuss how the film manages to be both goofy and sincere, Rick Moranis' inherent t-boy swag, and how a mean green mother' from outer space can represent both capitalism and toxic masculinity.</p><br><p>CW: Discussions of domestic abuse, transphobia, sadism, misogyny, death...

  KPop Demon Hunters (with Holly Amareta)

  Mar 2, 20262h 5mS1

  <p>In this episode we do a fit check for our napalm era, as Holly Amareta joins us to discuss the barely-subtextual queerness of KPop Demon Hunters. Is KPop Demon Hunters a trans allegory? Is Jinu transfem or transmasc? Are all trans people demons? And which HUNTR/X members are Lily, Melody, and Holly respectively? It's our longest episode yet, and this is what it sounds like.</p><br><p>CW: Discussions of transphobia, gender dysphoria, forced outing, conversion therapy, intolerant parental figures, depression, misogyny</p><br><p>Find Holly on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/onmehols/) and Bluesky (https...
