Your thoughts on Bottoms? Thinking back to previous video essays, things like it as an example of representation that isn't "good". Female/male gaze, for sapphics vs for het men. (Sorry if youve addressed this elsewhere and I've missed it).

Yes, sorry, I now see how that could have had a few interpretations 😂 The movie Bottoms released in 2023.

Do you have a favorite book and if so, what is it? Also love your channel!

The Mad Jay Woman

Has the series ‘Sort Of’ been on your radar at all? It’s a little CBC Gem show but it got global distribution via HBO Max and Sky. I think it’s the sort wonderful representation of messy queers that’s right in your wheelhouse

If you could write an episode of Doctor Who, where would you set it? Past Earth, the present, in space, somewhere else, all of the above?

Love this show!! Also 'How To Fail as a Pop Star' from Vivek Shraya on the same network is fantastic as well, just premiered at Cannes ✨✨

Does your view on good representation=boring extend to children's media? And what are your general opinions on minority representation in media aimed at a younger demographic? I Feel like you touched on it a bit in the Who 60th anniversary podcast ep. But I'd be interested in hearing more. Do you think, if Tolkien had somehow managed to live into the age of social media age, fans of his work world be forced to grapple more with his less savory aspects and how they are reflected in his work? And lastly have you listened to the Andy Serkis' LOTR audiobook? Sorry, a lot of questions lol

How is the sapphic vampire Birdcage script coming along?

I'd like to know that too! :) Vampires being bisexual or even gay is an old homophobic trope (although Bram Stoker was pretty certainly homosexual himself and at the time fantasy horror novel was one of the few avenues for him to vent his frustration) but somehow we cannot get enough.

What are your opinions on reboots? Reboot as a barometer for contemporary values has come up a bit in your Doctor Who vids but what about ther characters/worlds? What do you think (e.g.) Ghostbusters (2016), Charlie's Angels (2019) and Mad Max: Fury Road have to say about how tolerant these franchises are to modernisation/progressive-ness?

As a 36 year old woman of trans experience I often feel some kind of generational divide between myself and the 20-year olds of the present day ^_^ In a way their world is different than the one we had to face when being 20-somethings but the media landscape has changed dramatically and so have the paradigms of gender performance and societal judgment. Do you think we have something to teach the younger Gen-Z-baby-transes and if so, what?

how do you personally go about research for old things? im asking old things in general but im wondering about the research for the doctor who and women video, particularly the girls girls girls documentaries + other interviews. how did you find them? did you know they existed before finding them? was it a starting off point or did you find them in the middle of other research? thank you!! me and my girlfriend love your videos <3

as you've become a full, equal duo, do you think that it's helped you compartmentalize feedback, be it positive or negative?

In a completely random order: - Has the influx of viewers and patrons changed your way to approach topics you select, and then research, writing, filming and broadcasting? - You've mentioned occasionally differences in LGBTQIA+ organising in Slovenia vs. UK/US/'Western' countries (and personally I think the non-Big-Five-centric point of view of your Eurovision video was a very enlightening aspect). Is there something you would like to highlight / shout-out in terms of queer organising in Slovenia (including possibly in a future video)? - From my viewer/listener perspective, it seems like VerilyPodcasty has (sometimes) been a way to test or at least approach future video topics in a relatively chill form (which I am all here for). Have you usually already been researching for a while, or is this more of a "let's discuss from the top of our heads and see if this'll work" kind of things? Do you feel it has helped you better prepare for videos?

I know this was posted a while ago, but I saw Deadpool and Wolverine recently and I REALLY REALLY REALLY want your take. I have a lot of queer friends who love it, but I find it homophobic. Deadpool makes sexual jokes about Wolverine and other characters, but it's always played off as a joke, and it's pretty easy to believe that he doesn't mean what he's saying. The movie makes it clear (to me) that the only person he has any true or serious feelings for is his ex girlfriend. He never once is serious about Wolverine in a romantic or sexual way. I feel like someone who is extremely homophobic can still love Deadpool because his queerness is always played as a "no homo" joke. Also please don't read my name. It's my real name whoops. I don't know where you stand, but I know you will have a reasoned opinion.
