We sit down for a good old lesbian classic and all around feel good film- Imagine Me & You, spit some serious truths and dedicate this entire episode of laughter to our sweet Lister Sister Kimberly Lawless Ivora who left this world for the next recently.Â

This week we take a deep dive into another beautiful, lesbian love story that is near and dear to our hearts- Fried Green Tomatoes. We make some Gentleman Jack comparisons, and discuss some hard issues of the American South dealing with homophobia, the ugliness of institutionalized racism, and the way grief manifests differently in people. We have a long wait until season 2, so hold on tight as we tie in as much as we can (even by a long shot) to our beloved Gentleman Jack.Â
