In this episode, we’re diving into episode 2 of Original Sin: The Spirit Queen. We have lots of questions, such as: was the video of Karen a set up (and more importantly, was it even embarrassing?)? If Tabby doesn’t make a film reference every other line, will she die? Why was Imogen ever friends with Karen and Kelly? Where is the line between homa…

In this episode, we're taking a long drive with Lifetime's gay thriller, You're Not Supposed to Be Here. Despite a low budget and at-times shoddy script, this TV movie has a surprisingly amount to say about queer micro-aggressions and paranoia, while the two real-life queer leads make a compelling (if often hard to root for) couple. Who knew! Send …
