Summary

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast for people who see dead people by people who see dead people. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about why the 2022 (slightly obscure) film Darby and the Dead Should’ve Been Gay. For anyone unfamiliar with this movie, it not only stars Auli'i Cravalho as Capri (short for Capricorn, the queerest name of all time), but also features a trans cheerleader played by the one and only Nicole Maines! The film centers around main character Darby who thanks to a freak accident is able to see and communicate with dead people. She is a full time Hot Topic gay and afterschool medium who uses her powers to help “deados” move on. Naturally this means she is not exactly a hit with the kids in her high school, especially when it comes to ex-bestie and current super popular cheerleader Capri. But things begin to shift from enemies to lovers when Capri dies by accidental electrocution and turns to Darby for help. In addition to helping Capri, Darby is also getting to know the new kid at school, Alex, who spends pretty much the entire movie attempting to come out to her (as able to see dead people). In the end, Darby and Alex do pair off, mainly because Capri had to move on eventually and felt she could do so after confessing her love for Darby. We debate about whether Alex and Darby are both queer and in a straight-passing relationship with each other or if they are fully bearding.  We know one thing for sure, Darby and the Dead Should’ve Been Gay.  Follow us on the platform formerly known as Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode. You can also join us on Facebook.com/lezhangoutpod and Instagram (@lezhangoutpod). Find us individually on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok at Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida).  Join Ellie and Leigh in Costa Rica from May 1-6, 2024, for the relaxing queer vacay of a lifetime.
