We're starting a new season, and so we're gonna kick it off with another Q&A for next week's bonus! I'm not gonna even really gonna prompt a theme here. What do you want to know? Is there anything you want to get our thoughts on?


 We've answered a lot of questions in our time so don't worry if yours doesn't get picked- a lot of the time its because we've already answered something similar in an earlier Q&A episode

Mostly for Alice: Thoughts for the World Series??? (Writing this while watching my Phillies crush the Diamondbacks— hopefully this doesn’t become ironic soon)

Everyone: Any intent to definitively rerate some of the older bonds? Your view of the SCUM system has changed a lot since original inception, and a lot of the older films had slightly lower ratings anticipating others would be worse. Also we need Cars 2 no notes.

Hi. 53-year-old cishet guy here. Usually I know enough about queer culture to follow all references. However, lately I've noticed—in multiple podcasts—frequent references to queer coding in cinema, and I don't understand it. From the context, I've been able to glean that it's (sometimes? usually? always?) unintentional, but beyond that I don't understand what it means, because the shorthand is just too opaque. Is it a sort of unconscious semiotics? I'd appreciate any elaboration.

Jon, it hurts

i think more often than not its intentional, its when you write a character as if they were queer without making it explicit. classic disney villans like Scar and Ursula are good examples (Ursulas design is even based on a drag queen) a lot of times, esp in older movies, this is done bc you arent allowed to put queer characters in the film but you still want some kind of representation. you give the characters traits or use tropes that are assosiated with being queer, like the "found family" trope which is relatable to a lot of queer people who were disowned or have poor relationships with their family and had to essentially find one themselves.
