In this week's episode, we celebrate queer joy in movies with three hilarious films that are widely considered classics among the LGBTQ community.

- We start with a bonafide classic. Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, and Gene Hackman star in the side-splitting Mike Nichols film, The Birdcage.

- Second, Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall wow audiences in the creative and subversive cult gem, But I'm A Cheerleader.

- Finally, our audience voted for another cult favorite in the rom-com/spy thriller D.E.B.S.

All of these films offer fresh perspectives on the queer experience and bring a welcome sense of joy to their audience. Have you seen these films? Which is your favorite?

Is the theater experience back? Independent horror films like Obsession and Backrooms are making waves at the box office. Fresh stories like The Drama and Crime 101 have made their mark. So co-host Nicholas Ybarra and producer Sonja Mereu thought this was a great time to highlight some independent films that are absolutely worth seeing on the big screen while you still can.

- We start with Boots Riley's highly-anticipated, pro-Union, Technicolor powerhouse, I Love Boosters. The film stars Keke Palmer and Demi Moore.

- Second, Aleshea Harris delivers an outstanding directorial debut in the revenge film, Is God Is.

- Speaking of memorable debuts, Sophie Romvari makes her feature debut with the personal and powerful Blue Heron.

All these films can be seen on the big screen through tomorrow, and they are definitely worth seeing while you can. Keep an eye out for more great independent films throughout the year. The more we see them, the more they get made.
