We're back at long last, with "Is This Allowed????", an episode looking at the significance of sex scenes in LGBT cinema where we talk about how things such as the male gaze, queer objectification, plot relevancy, and intimacy co-ordination shape how we view sexuality in film.

Happy New Year! Here's our review of all the LGBT film and television we managed to watch in 2021. We were able to see most of these through streaming services, on demand, at film festivals both online and offline, and also just general cinema releases. Some may not be readily available for access now, but we hope you can look out for them in future!

Does having a bigger budget make a movie better? More importantly, does having a bigger budget make a movie gayer? In this episode, Deah and Merryana make a list of LGBT films with multi-million dollar budgets and investigate the hypothesis once posed by the great Freckle from 'The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo' - that sometimes things that are expensive are worse.
