Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that hates gay Halloween– what do you mean you’re Chaguilera?
This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with self-described “professional lesbian”, writer, podcaster and public sociologist, Erin Brown (@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamerinbrown/">iamerinbrown</a>), to talk about why the 2010 “musical” Burlesque, Should’ve Been Gay. If you’ve been a listener for a while, you know that we’ve had this movie on our SBG list for a very long time. And who better to talk about Burlesque, but an actual burlesque performer? 
As a burlesque performer, Erin is quick to point out that for a movie titled “Burlesque” there is quite literally no actual burlesque to be seen. The performers don’t even take off so much as a glove during their dances, let alone channel the politically charged, feminist, queer energy that is so essential to the art form (And there is absolutely no excuse for the laughable quality of the wigs). While we do find the movie enjoyable, mostly due to the star-studded cast and our undying love for Chaguilera (Cher and Christina Aguilera), it is not an accurate representation of burlesque and feels unnaturally sanitized. Where the movie does get things right is in its RuPaul level campiness, the lesbian-coded male love interest, and the familiar queer storyline (banding together to save a lesbian bar from getting bought out by a terrible straight man– <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flame-a-podcast-musical/id1547278659?i=1000523900009">The Flame</a> anyone?).

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that still would not sleep with a man even to avoid the outrageously high cost of IVF. 
This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about 2025’s The Wedding Banquet, for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. We both thought this movie was going to be a lighthearted comedy, but after sobbing on a plane Ellie would beg to differ. 
The Wedding Banquet stars Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, and Kelly Marie Tran in what is technically a remake of a film from 1993 (which we have not seen). The story is a bit out-there, but the characters resonate all the same. If you haven’t seen it, the basic plot is this: a gay man and his lesbian bestie decide to help each other out by getting married in exchange for a green card for him and free IVF for her. Honestly with how expensive IVF is (and the general state of immigration), we 1000% get it. There may be nothing more quintessentially 2025 than the gays teaming up to defraud the government and get free healthcare. From the intergenerational trauma and classic mommy-issues to the chosen family and ‘be gay, do crime’ of it all, we think The Wedding Banquet is a must-watch.
At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original song based on The Wedding Banquet, titled “Pieces”, written by Leigh Holmes Foster and produced by Ellie Brigida. This and all of our original “Lez-ssential” songs are available for purchase on <a href="https://lezhangoutpod.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a>.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is deeply tired of queerbaiting, but will be continuing to fall for it every time.
This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with return guest, director, actor and screenwriter Kristina Pupo (@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kristinapupo/">kristinapupo</a>) to talk about why Legacies, Should’ve Been Gay(er). This CW spinoff to the infamous Vampire Diaries and The Originals, stars Danielle Rose Russell as Hope Mikaelson, the tribrid daughter of vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus Mikaelson and werewolf Hayley Marshall. If you’ve seen Legacies, you’re probably thinking, “but guys, Legacies has actual gays in it”, and you’re not wrong– but somehow, the representation just falls short. We’re sorry to the Posie shippers and the Landon lovers, but respectfully, making actual unicorn Hope Mikaelson and a boy made of literal mud endgame was inexcusable; and Josie’s storyline is a master class in bisexuality tropes that ends with actor Kaylee Bryant (now Kaylee Kaneshiro) leaving the series early. 
Legacies had a chance to do something so iconic with all-powerful tribrid Hope and twin witches Lizzie and Josie Saltzman. Their backstory is richly built and makes for the perfect slow burn. The girls have all known one another since they were children and Josie even admits to having had a crush on Hope in the past. We could have gotten the most powerful love triangle between Hope, Josie, and Lizzie but instead of giving fans the ship we wanted, they gave us Landon. I mean what was the point of telling us that Josie was into Hope and then going nowhere with it? The tendency of shows to shy away from allowing their titular character to be queer in favor of tossing in some random man is exhausting. Let your main characters be gay, please! Especially if those characters are deeply complex, highly powerful women that are very clearly into one another the entire time. 
We know one thing for sure, Legacies Should’ve Been Gay(er).

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is moving on up!
This week, co-hosts Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Marita Prodger (@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/maritaprodger">maritaprodger</a>) who you may recognize as one of the stars of Season 2 of Netflix’s The Ultimatum: Queer Love. This episode is full of feels (three Pisces in one podcast makes for quite the fluid conversation), lesbian math, and musical manifestation. Quick disclaimer that we recorded this prior to the announcement that The Ultimatum: Queer Love has been cancelled, so please keep that in mind while listening. 
Marita began her Ultimatum journey when she was just 24 years old, and now at 27 she credits her experiences on the show with helping her to grow, create an incredible community, and rediscover her self-worth. Although she did not come away from the show with “her person”, she walked away with a renewed sense of self-love and the understanding that she didn’t need to beg someone to love her. The right person would just do it naturally. Ending up with Britney as a trial marriage partner may not have been what either of them planned for, but it turned out to be the best thing for Marita to see her own energy reflected back like a mirror. 
It’s easy to end up in a relationship that feels comfortable enough to stay, but still isn’t quite right for you. We may see going on the Ultimatum as a really drastic measure for fixing a relationship, but sometimes it takes blowing everything up to see what remains. Seeing how simple it was for Britney to show up and consider her in the small day-to-day moments was a huge eye-opener and helped to break Marita out of a cycle that without the show, she may still have been trapped in today. 
You can find Marita on all the socials at @maritaprodger. Follow for information on how you can join her in the Canary Islands in January and for the chance to hear new music as she releases it.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is hardlaunching Ellie's engagement!
This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with very special guest, Ellie’s fiancée, Bailey Katsumata-Smith (@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/baileykatsu">baileykatsu</a>), to talk about why iconic Disney Channel Original Series Hannah Montana, Should’ve Been Gay. If you were around in 2006, whether you were an elementary school kid or a high school teen, you were probably watching Hannah Montana. This series was such a massive deal that Bailey was bullied in the 4th grade for not being allowed to watch it. 
Hannah Montana follows the chaotic double life of Miley Stewart (played by real life queer icon Miley Cyrus) as she navigates being a “regular high schooler” while hiding her secret drag identity as pop star Hannah Montana from everyone except her very best girlfriend, Lilly. This girl spends 4 whole seasons literally going in and out of the largest closet we’ve ever seen, a closet she and Lilly go in specifically to transform into their flamboyant alter egos, Hannah Montana and Lola Luftnagle. Miley’s wig collection likely rivals Chappell Roan’s and we all had a pair of those baggy cargo shorts that Lilly was always rocking while skateboarding into view. Yet, Disney still forced us to watch 4 seasons of Miley and Lilly’s chemistry being tossed aside for lame, forgettable boys. 
We know one thing for sure, Hannah Montana Should’ve Been Gay.
Don’t forget to stream Bailey’s debut single, <a href="https://www.baileykatsumusic.com/">Bittersweet Bitch</a>, for Olivia Rodrigo vibes and a sick Hannah Montana inspired guitar solo.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is hardlaunching Ellie's engagement!

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with very special guest, Ellie’s fiancée, Bailey Katsumata-Smith (@baileykatsu), to talk about why iconic Disney Channel Original Series Hannah Montana, Should’ve Been Gay. If you were around in 2006, whether you were an elementary school kid or a high school teen, you were probably watching Hannah Montana. This series was such a massive deal that Bailey was bullied in the 4th grade for not being allowed to watch it. 

Hannah Montana follows the chaotic double life of Miley Stewart (played by real life queer icon Miley Cyrus) as she navigates being a “regular high schooler” while hiding her secret drag identity as pop star Hannah Montana from everyone except her very best girlfriend, Lilly.
