Episode 74: Baka Bukas Good day, fair queers! Today on the pod we're discussing a film out of the Phillipines, 2016's Baka Bukas! This is billed as a romantic drama, and that's pretty accurate. It follows two early-20s friends working in the entertainment industry in different roles, one of whom is out as lesbian to everyone but this friend. Who then becomes the love interest. As you do. There's a lot of stereotypes in here, including a vapid GBF and some fashun, but Alicia and Sarah think it's a solidly okay film, and have some stuff to say about it. So tune in and hear about one of the only mainstream gay movies to come out of the Phillippines and let us know your thoughts!   Further reading: Baka Bukas Wikipedia page Review from Beauty Within SAMANTHA LEE BRINGS QUEER REPRESENTATION TO FILIPINO FILM by Sara Tardiff in Nylon
