Despite Hollywood starting to take the tiniest of baby steps toward LGBTQ+ inclusion, queer audiences are still pretty starved for representation in popular film. This podcast looks into historical restrictions on showing queer characters in American film and the queer subtexts that often resulted from this. In each episode, Alley, a graduate student at Georgetown studying English and film, and a guest cohost discuss two films from one genre, focusing on queer storylines that were built into or removed from classic and contemporary popular films.

In this episode, I talk with University of Virginia PhD student (and also one of my favorite people) Ian Jayne about my favorite film genre: quirky “indie” dramedies. We focus on the films Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Royal Tenenbaums.
