A new pop culture podcast with a mix of news, cultural criticism, and comedy through a queer-trans lens, hosted by Fran Tirado and Rose Dommu.
Though they are best friends now, Fran and Rose grew up very differently. Fran was a cult-ish, sheltered Christian camp counselor and Rose had a penchant for writing deranged fanfiction. Now they’re both godless heathens taking a look back at the formative classics that popped their cherries and made them who they are.
Each week, the show starts off with a breakdown of the week’s pop culture news, then does a deep dive into one cultural object that one of them might be experiencing for the first time. They’ll also invite writers, comedians, activists, and entertainers to help them break it down.

The Characters of “The Odyssey,” Ranked By Suckability

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/c1e2df37-ce16-4c62-b87d-b49700401339/transcript

A juicy episode on the main feed this week discussing the transgender undertones of John Early’s Maddie’s Secret. 

Love the free episode? You’re only getting half the story! Head to patreon.com/likeavirgin for twice-monthly bonus episodes.

On this week’s free episode we discuss:
How to enjoy John Early’s Maddie’s Secret when some of its comedic sensibility rests on a man dressed as a woman.
The influences and precarious precedent of Maddie’s Secret’s “gender comedy”: Oh! Mary, Madea, Big Momma’s House, Mrs. Doubtfire, John Waters, Tootsie, The Birdcage, White Chicks, and more.
The grotesque soullessness of the Avengers: Doomsday trailer
The resounding disappointment of The Vampire Lestat
The bloodlust of Project Runway’s 78th season.
Homework: Everyone go see Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in time for next week’s discussion.
