Summary

Join our Patreon family to unlock 25+ full-length bonus episodes, ad-free weekly episodes, mp3 downloads of our original songs, exclusive Discord access, and more! Right now, we’re retiring our lower tiers– so all new patrons who join at $5/month or higher (or upgrade!) by July 1st will be entered into a raffle to guest star on a bonus Patreon episode. You can also support the show by grabbing some #pride gear at bit.ly/lezmerch or picking up Lez-ssentials songs on Bandcamp. Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is brought to you by BIG SHARK. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) hangs out with queer screenwriter, returning guest and friend of the pod, Alix Markman (@markwoman), to talk about why The Meg Should’ve Been Gay. Alix has been waiting to talk about this incredibly queer shark movie for years and we are so excited to fin-ally dive in. Self-aware, comedic monster movies are the best monster movies and The Meg does not disappoint.  From the gay shark girlfriends (who were roommates!) to the marine biology commune and their shared child (And the sheer presence of Ruby Rose), everything about this movie feels queer. Alix whips out an L Word-style “Alice board” to break down the relationship dynamics of the commune before adding even more research to the mix with unquestionable proof of The Meg’s gayness– a 2016 Autostraddle article titled “The 100 Most Lesbianish First Names, Ranked By Lesbianism”, in which “Meg” is number 16.  We know one thing for sure, The Meg Should’ve Been Gay. Don’t forget to give us your Q & Gay answers on Instagram and follow along on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod. You can find your favorite smol and tol hosts at @lshfoster and @elliebrigida. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
