Bend It Like Beckham Shoulda Been Gay(er)
Listen now
Description
Today, we're discussing one of our favorite lesbian rom-coms, Bend It Like Beckham (2002). ...okay, maybe it's not canon, but isn't it? In this episode, we get into misleading advertisements, the Spice Girls, Keira Knightley causing many gay awakenings, and narrative structures of romcoms--but tbh most of this episode is us going, "How is this NOT gay?" Seriously. Have you SEEN this movie? Listen in and see if you agree that this movie deserves an honorary spot in the lesbian film hall of fame. This episode was edited by Michelle. Logo by Micky.
