The Gays Code Podcast

Monica tests Lizzy and Maria on their knowledge of obscure and low budget queer films. Do these movies really exist out there in the world or did Monica make them up? In this episode we discuss horse girls, gay ghost stories, and gay zombie musical mashups.

Monica and Lizzy dive into the 2020 holiday romantic-comedy "Happiest Season" starring Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Aubrey Plaza, and Dan Levy. We discuss the idea of coming out on Christmas, how kidney failure could up the stakes of the film, and our love for Aubrey Plaza. 

Monica and her guest Maria delve into the portrayal of gay characters on American television from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. We discuss MASH, Frasier, The Golden Girls, Ellen, and how real world hot button issues affected what was displayed on our TV screens.

Monica tests her guests, Maria and Lizzy, on their knowledge of iconic queer films with the help of not so iconic sound bites. We discuss the proper way to eat cake, the morality of candy corn, and Rachel Weisz's love of kissing ladies. 

Monica and Lizzy discuss the origin and interpretations of the gender-queer rock musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"

Monica and her sister Maria discuss the subtle and hidden queer characters in the early days of Hollywood, the problematic regulations of the Hays Code, vampiric lesbians, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
