Rainbow Rewatch

On this episode of Rainbow Rewatch, Daniel and Leliana deconstruct one of the most influential TV shows of the 21st century (and maybe all time), Spongebob Squarepants. Specifically, they cover Season 2 Episode 6 "Squidville" and Season 2 Episode 15 "Band Geeks." After breaking down some fun facts about this ridiculous show, the dolls get into Spongebob's "coming out" in 2020 and the possible sexualities of all of the characters. Then, they discuss the physics of Bikini Bottom and try to figure out how the hell any of it makes sense. And they ask the chilling question: if 80% of our ocean is unexplored, is it possible that Bikini Bottom REALLY exists? Please be sure to leave us a review on apple podcasts.

This week on Rainbow Rewatch we're doing a super nostalgic movie and one that HAD to be covered, the elite 2006 film She's the Man starring the one, the only, the chameleon herself, Ms. Amanda Bynes. This film has EVERYTHING--women in drag, gay hairdressers, pseudo-lesbianism, Channing Tatum, kissing booths....what an absolute whirlwind. Daniel and Leliana break down the movie's themes and a possible trans reading of the film, and discuss Amanda Bynes' gender dysphoria playing the role of Viola. And they ask the very important question: is this movie actually feminist? or does its portrayal of gender not hold up today? Please be sure to leave us a review on apple podcasts.

Get in me swamp because this week is alllll about Shrek 2 (2004). Obviously, this is now a fairy godmother stan podcast. It's only fair. But this week, Daniel and Leliana discuss the queer themes of Shrek 2, the franchise's iconic camp commentary, and the subtle transphobia/homophobia with the Ugly Stepsister. They will also ask a critical question: is Puss and Boots bisexual? Or is he just in love with Prince Charming? Please be sure to leave us a review on apple podcasts.

It's about to get real nasty on this week's episode of Rainbow Rewatch. Maddi is BACK for a discussion about New Moon (2009) and all things gay about the Twilight fandom. Daniel, Leliana, and Maddi discuss the inherent queerness of the MMF love triangle, the vampire's trip to Italy, and what type of magical creature we would want to be. And then in celebration of the queer fans of the series, Daniel and Leliana read their original Twilight fanfictions (much to Maddi's pleasure). If you are not a Twilight fan, do not fret, because Daniel will burn this podcast to the ground before he reviews another Twilight film. Please be sure to leave us a review on apple podcasts.

This weeks episode of Rainbow Rewatch is brought to you by self-loathing, because this week we are revisiting Twilight (2008) and New Moon (2009). AND we are joined by a very special guest, one of our dearest friends and a Twilight megafan, Maddi! (we apologize in advance for her straightness, but she was in fact born this way). Buckle in for some wild discussions about virginal vampires and Mormonism, Edward's toxic masculinity, and the films' obsession with heteronormativity. We also ask a very important question: is it gay? or is it still not as gay as Twilight? Please be sure to leave us a review on apple podcasts.

This week, Rainbow Rewatch is taking a dive into one of the most remembered movies of our generation, Camp Rock (2008), a movie that corrupted both Daniel and Leliana into the people they are today. After debating whether Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner should be America's next royal family, they break down the plot of the movie and ask: is it actually any good? They then dive into the sexual tension of Demi Lovato and Alyson Stoner, the queerness of the Jonas Brothers, and how the movie opened the door to Daniel's and Leliana's queerness.

On this episode of We the Sheeple, where we break down a concept that has been bastardized and misunderstood, Daniel and Leliana talk about labels & identity politics. Identity politics have become a central idea in our culture for the last few years. And labels are how many people feel like they can express and articulate their queerness, and find solidarity. But do we really need them? And are they possibly holding back the queer community? We will return to regularly scheduled Rainbow Rewatch programming next week!

What's the sitch? Well, the sitch is that this week, Daniel and Leliana are reviewing Kim Possible, a TV show that redefined Disney Channel (and many children's sexuality). Specifically, they revisited "Oh Boyz" (season 2 episode 24) and "Stop Team Go" (season 4 episode 12). Daniel and Leliana discuss the clearly queer-coded characters like Senor Senior Jr and Shego (?), Ron's healthy masculinity, and the palpably gay relationship between Shego and Kim Possible. This iconic show has it all: teenage hero spies, naked mole rats who speak, boy bands, and more! Booyah! Please be sure to leave us a review on apple podcasts.

This week, Daniel and Leliana are reviewing a movie that no one asked for, no one expected, and no one knows how to quite explain: the Emperor's New Groove! This Disney cult classic has it all: cultural misappropriation, Eartha Kitt, llamas in drag, and homoerotic subtexts galore. They dig deep into the film's portrayal of masculinity through himbo legend Kronk, and ponder if Emperor Kuzco is in fact one of the gays (of course he is).
