Happy Halloween! This week, co-hosts Jack Knave and Charlie Darling have donned some frightening costumes to talk about villainy. Specifically, Disney Villains! But why are they so... y'know - *limp-wristed gesture*  Turns out there's a non-gay explanation for that, so listen in for an education on the Hays Code that censored filmmakers in Hollywood, and how the tropes that were established during this time persist in film today!

A bit of a different one this week folks; Knave and Darling love to read, and want to talk about two interesting articles they've found. Jack is covering an article from The Guardian around vocal littering and how annoying it can be. Afterwards, Charlie talks about the disturbing phenomenon of AI generated thirst traps on social media that are scamming unaware gays out of their hard-earned pink pounds! This is a little bonus episode and the first in a series we hope to do on articles we found interesting. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Happy Santos Bravos day baybees! Oh, you don't know who that is? You're missing out on the exciting new multinational boy band brought to you by Hybe - the record company giant who brought us BTS, Le Sserafim and Katseye. This week, Knave is taking the lead, giving us all the info we need on this incredible one-of-a-kind venture, from the documentary that selected the group, to the business masterminds behind the scenes, to the music they've already released. Let us know what you think of Santos Bravos in the comments!

This week, we're very excited to be sharing a conversation on two of our favourite animes that both happen to be centred around... Cards! While there are plenty of things we love about these shows, we're talking about how the queer subtext contained within both pulled us in as children making sense of ourselves in a media landscape void of Queer representation. Damn, growing up in the 90s was tough hey? Whether you're a captor or a dueller you're not gonna want to miss this!

Hello darlings, we know you loved our first Boy Problems in Season 1, where we shared various yarns about our own dating disasters and romantic ruin. It's Season 2, do we've upped the ante and are back with more startling stories. Darling is in his vulnerable era, so isn't holding back on his stories, most of which reveal he's not as sweet as he seems. Whereas Knave recounts mishap after mishap, as missed connections and mixed messages spoiled many a situation in his past.

We have been eating well recently because our two top divas; Carly Rae Jepsen and Tove Lo, released new albums on the same day this year! You can trust us, two superfans, to give you the lowdown on these two fantastic projects. From day to night, we are in estrus for this new music baybee. What did you think of these albums? Let us know in the comments!

This week, co-hosts Knave and Darling are discussing Performance; speaking on how their experiences as a musician and dancer have shaped them, and also considering all the other ways in which we perform in our day to day lives. From stage fright to dream shows and what inspires them to what tires them, this is one you're not gonna wanna miss.

The second part of Jack and Charlie's review of Heartstopper, covering Season 3 and the feature length movie Heartstopper Forever.

You asked for it, and we're finally delivering. In this episode Jack and Charlie talk about Heartstopper Seasons 1 and 2, which they've watched in preparation for the Heartstopper movie coming out in July. They cover why it took them years to jump on this bandwagon and whether they enjoyed doing so. Do these two 30+ year olds enjoy a show for teenagers? What was relatable, what was realistic, and what was ridiculous? Listen to find out.

The fantastic conclusion of Heated Rivalry has left everyone swooning and feeling butterflies for Shane and Ilya. Your co-hosts Jack Knave and Charlie Darling are back (finally) to discuss the show they've grown to love, and how much they each cried at the finale; spoilers - one of them much more than the other.  As Shane and Ilya finally open up to one another, admitting their feelings are too strong to ignore, a plan to visit Shane's lakeside cottage comes to fruition. Cue the cuteness, as the two boys dare to dream of a future together in some of the most tender and lovely scenes of the entire show.  We are the co-hosts of a brand new LGBTQ+ podcast with new episodes released every Wednesday, although right now we're having a short mid-season break.

We are introduced to two new protagonists, Scott Hunter and Kip Grady, as they fall for one another over the counter of the quietest smoothie shop in New York. Then we're back with Ilya and Shane in Episode 4 to see how their not-a-relationship is fairing, as some new characters enter the mix (much to Knave's dismay).

It's the show that all the gays and theys have been talking about; Heated Rivalry, and finally we can watch it in the UK!

The first two episodes introduce us to our handsome stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov, played by Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, and how a clandestine relationship between the two begins to form as they navigate the world of professional ice hockey.
