Lizzie, Sam, and bestie of the pod Gabby celebrate Lizzie's birthday and ring in the occasion with meat pies and man-bashing.

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.

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.

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!

Sam and Lizzie make fetch happen with a movie that's almost too gay to fuction and more sapphic characters than we know what to do with. A movie that definied a generation has more going on below the surface than Karen Smith. So put on something pink and get in bitch we're going shopping!
