Episode 96: ‘Yesterday,’ Ify Gets Grilled, and Tween-Friendly Queer Cinema with Laura Sirikul

Episode notes

YesterdayThis week marks Ify’s first official episode as our host, and as an initiation to the show, Drea and Alonso GRILL him on his movie preferences. The gang is also joined by freelance writer and managing editor of Nerds of Color, Laura Sirikul, to discuss the new Beatles-amnesia-rom-com, Yesterday. They answer a question from the ‘Who Shotline’ about tween friendly queer films. And, as always, staff picks.
