Can I Show You Something

Gray shows Mitzen their thoughts on the short-lived series English Teacher. Both discuss queer representation (ideal vs problematic) and the presentation of the characters’ reactions to issues of the day. Spoilers abound in this episode as we get to the 80/20 gay/bi of it all. This episode was recorded on August 15, 2026.

Mitzen and Gray get back on the rollercoaster that is Euphoria to talk about the series finale, and specifically where Rue’s story ends (with major spoilers). We talk about what it means to support someone dealing with addiction and how the addict often ends up isolated and without resources. We draw from our own experiences working in mental health/social services with vulnerable populations. We also give our thoughts on how the show progressed to its end, and the Sam Levinson of it all. Please also check out the article we cited from Dominique Morgan entitled In Real Life You Would Have Given Up On Rue: What ‘Euphoria’ Exposes About Addiction, Black Women, And The Limits Of Our Compassion.

Gray, Mitzen, and “Pod Daddy” Jess continue their discussion about crushes and how they shaped each of their identities–what they were allowed to express growing up and what they found the words for later in life. We also dig into how these crushes affect our IRL relationships, in romance and in friendships. We welcome you to share your experiences of navigating media and IRL crushes and what it taught you about yourselves and your identities. This episode was recorded on July 19, 2026.

We decided to take a break from the freight train that is Euphoria with a much lighter topic. Gray prompted a discussion with Mitzen and Producer Jess about growing up with media crushes and what they learned while navigating them in various stages of coming out. We also talk about how our gender and sexual identities enabled us to lean into sharing about our socially acceptable crushes, and acknowledge that this isn’t an option for everyone. Please listen and share your experience of navigating media crushes and what it taught you about your gender and sexuality. This episode was recorded on July 19, 2026.

Mitzen continues with part 2 of her marathon show-and-tell about Euphoria. She and Gray discuss the emotional weight that Jules carried for Rue. They also get into intersectional dynamics of Nate Jacobs’ relationships to Maddie, Jules and Cassie. Content warning: we dig into how race, gender, and class contribute to relational and sexual violence among young people. Feel free to share your thoughts with us, or you can catch us in another episode if this topic’s too heavy. This episode was originally recorded on June 21, 2026.
