For this episode, I’m joined by Kira Deshler, lesbian pop culture expert, and writer of the newsletter Paging Dr. Lesbian. Kira and I talked about the movie Carol and why we and so many queer people are obsessed with it. From the longing glances and the shoulder touches to the whole Mommy’s Baby of it, we dove very deep. We also talked about lesbian pulp novel, sapphic romance movies generally, and Carol’s place in the overall canon.
