Summary

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it's officially holiday movie season, and if you follow Lauren on Twitter, then you know that she is absolutely *obsessed* with made-for-TV Christmas movies. As such, she jumped at the chance to talk to former guest Rivkah Reyes (Episode 136) and upcoming guest Lindsay Hicks, who are the two leads of Tello Films' latest QUEER LADY CHRISTMAS MOVIE! In this special episode, Lindsay and Rivkah dish on what it was like filming A Holiday I Do in the coldest place on earth (aka Michigan in January), and discuss the reactions they've been getting from viewers (Rivkah's future mother-in-law is a huge fan!). They describe the process of shooting their climactic, movie-ending kiss in a 4° barn, and Lindsay reveals how she produced a copious amount of tears for her emotional tour de force with an equine scene partner ("I just trusted the horse"). Plus, Rivkah gushes about her recent real-life enGAYgement! It's the perfect episode to usher in the happiest season; pun *fully* intended.

0:00.0	Hi, y'all. Welcome to Coming Out Pod. This is a special episode for a variety of reasons that I'll get into momentarily. But first up, I want to do a very special and unique queer root shoutout.
0:24.4	Shout out today, if your queer root, is Katie from School of Rock, the bass player in School of
0:33.2	Rock. I'm doing this special shoutout because I have with me,
0:40.2	Rivka Reyes, who was on the podcast previously,
0:44.4	and is on today to talk about a new project that they are involved in,
0:49.8	but I've never done a queer root shoutout for someone who was,
0:52.6	like, physically in the space.
0:59.6	And I think you know that the character of Katie was, was formative. So, a shout out to you.
1:05.8	If that was a formative character for you. But, okay, so this is a special episode one, because we have the actual queer root shout out with us in the flesh. Two, because we have another guest as well. I am also here
1:13.5	with Lindsay Hicks, who I've known for a while. Hi, Lindsay. Hi. So we're doing a special
1:21.4	up today. It is almost December. It is officially after Thanksgiving. If you're anything like me, this means it is
1:28.9	now, like the second it's Thanksgiving that for me is holiday movie season. I watch Made for
1:34.5	TV Christmas movies from Thanksgiving through to New Year's Day. That is my ritual.
1:39.9	And Rivka and Lindsay are co-starring in a queer holiday film, which we are very excited
1:48.8	about anytime we get a holiday movie that is not for the for the heteroes, particularly.
1:56.7	We were very thrilled.
1:58.5	It is called a Holiday I Do.
2:02.3	And, yeah, they are the two stars.
2:06.2	I don't want to give too much away.
2:09.5	But we hit a lot of tropes in this movie.
2:12.2	You two literally have a meet cute where you bump into each other, which I'm a huge fan of.
