Erin welcomes back Ashley and introduces Tangle for a discussion inspired by conversations from the Life on Side B and Your Other Brothers podcasts. So much can be said about queer representation in the media, especially as more queer stories have been told in the last couple years. Join us as we discuss our favorite TV shows and movies, including how queer characters have impacted them, and what we would like to see in future queer media productions. We end our episode with a lightning round of guessing the sexualities of cartoon villains from our childhood!
