Queer Movie Review: Happiest Season

Hello!

If you are reading this that means you’ve expressed some interest in humoring me with this little endeavor, so…thank you so much!

If you are like me and feel that 2020 has been the actual coming of the end of times, then you may need a distraction from time to time.

That is why I am starting a new project called Queer Movie Review!

What is Queer Movie Review?

Well, it’s a bi-monthly podcast and newsletter discussing film and TV through a queer lady lens.

Every newsletter will contain a podcast episode plus some extra tidbits of information.

Today’s episode, the very FIRST episode ever, focuses on… Happiest Season:

******SPOILERS******

This podcast assumes that you have watched the film. If you HAVEN’T seen Happiest Season yet….GO WATCH IT it’s on Hulu :)

Today’s featured guests are:

1. Main discussion: Naomi Bennett, CEO and Founder of LesFlicks.com an AMAZING website that you should really check out!

2. After show deep dive: Jill, my dear friend since college! Follow her @popcornandpetnat for her dope wine endeavors ;)

As I mentioned in the episode, check out this great exclusive interview with Happiest Season director and co-writer, Clea DuVall, from Variety!

I’ll let you listen to the podcast to find out our thoughts on Happiest Season but for me, personally, I thought this tweet from Heather Hogan, senior writer at Autostraddle, summed it up nicely:

Heather Hogan @theheatherhogan

There’s no good way to talk about this movie without making people mad! I loved it. I wrote a glowing review. It’s okay obviously if you hated it and also hated my review. All I want is MORE modern lesbian movies so we don’t have to put ALL our feelings onto one movie!
