This week, Diosa and Mala discuss some of the films that made them feel seen, represented, or upon rewatching can now be considered queer film cannon. They dive into explicitly queer films, like "But I'm A Cheerleader", "Quinceañera", and "Mosquita y Mari" and more subtle queer films like "Mulan" and "Y Tú Mamá También." Diosa reveals the bisexual blues she feels each Pride season and Mala offers a fun solution.

What does it signify when Latino/Latinx artists perform on a global stage? And is representation and visibility ever enough?

This week Diosa and Mala dig into the cost of visibility for Latino/Latinx artists. Do these artists owe us political activism? And what does it signify when they don't meet that need? Tune in to find out!
