Episode 87: Passing
Hey lovely queers! Today Alicia and Sarah are back together talking about 2021's Passing, the adaptation of Nella Larson's 1929 novel of the same name. There's so much going on in this movie, none of which is explicitly gay per se, but all of which is very immersive and will make you think about the ways in which white supremacy and the racist and colonial American project harms us all! While not exactly upbeat, it's also not tragedy porn, but a nuanced portrayal of longing and human behavior under oppressive racialized structures, and it is very good. Plus it has Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga. So you should watch it if you want!
