Join moderator Gen Fricker and panellists Steven Oliver (Black Comedy, Big Backyard Quiz) and Louise Weard (Castration Movie), with more to be announced, as they wade into the weeds with this fun and potentially dicey topic.
Is there a piece of LGBTIQ+ media with a less than stellar reputation you'll defend to the death? Something deemed offensive at the time that you feel was misjudged, or maybe popular opinion has decided hasn’t aged perfect? This humorous, interactive panel will try to unpack the film and TV that still have a hold on our queer hearts, even if they're a little bit… “problematic”.
From Cruising and Silence of the Lambs to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Glee, let's discuss reappraising the queer canon, separating the art from the artist and dig into the films and shows that inspire and influence us, even when the representation isn’t necessarily 100% flawless.
