  • What a Girl Wants with Megan Prescott
    For this week's movie special, Leigh and Fi are joined by friend of the pod, actor, writer and director, Megan Prescott. You might know her as Katie Fitch in Skins or from her one-woman show, Really Good Exposure, as directed by our very own Fiona. The gals are obsessed this week with Amanda Bynes in the 2003 classic What a Girl Wants. Some might think not a very political film, but Leigh and Fi feel otherwise and are here to explain why. With honourable mention to Colin Firth, ribbon belts, Caroline Bingley and CGI butterflies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • Election with Christopher Hall
    Leigh and Fi are joined by comedian and viral backup singer, Christopher Hall, to discuss the 1999 Reese Witherspoon classic, Election, co-starring Mr. Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick. Particular highlights include the joy of recording a movie from the TV onto VHS tape, the thrills of 90s mom jeans, and the joy of some proper young lesbian love.

  • Dick with Pod and Prejudice
    Leigh and Fi dive into the movie magic of Dick (1999) with Becca and Molly of Pod and Prejudice. The year is 1972 (via the late 90s) and Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams are Richard Nixon's White House dog walkers and very secret Youth Advisors. Leigh and Fi are baffled to never have heard of this instant favourite before. Watergate but make it girlhood and you've got a very Queer Gals coded movie!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • On the Basis of Sex with Sarah Hester Ross
    Our first ever movie special! Queer Gals takes a hiatus from Aaron Sorkin land and the West Wing to discuss the Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic, On the Basis of Sex, with cabaret artist and comedienne extraordinaire, Sarah Hester Ross. With Sarah, Leigh and Fi discuss the life and times of the dead departed Supreme Court Justice, as portrayed in Mimi Leder's 2018 film starring Felicity Jones as the notorious RBG herself. The gals have a mixed response to the portrayal of Martin Ginsburg, applaud a lovely turn from Kathy Bates and most of all are deeply obsessed with Jane Ginsburg.Find Us Online:Instagram: @queergalswatchTwitter: @queergalswatchFacebook: Queer Gals WatchPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/QueerGalsWatchCredits:Our show artwork was created by William Andrews, music by Harry Fenn and our show is edited and mixed by Adam Grigg.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
