Summary

Join our ⁠Patreon⁠ family for as little as $5 per month to unlock 25+ full-length bonus episodes, ad-free weekly episodes, mp3 downloads of our original songs, exclusive Discord-channel access, and more! Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that has a huge lesbian crush on Anne Hathaway. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with comedian, singer, and writer Sydney Kane (@sydneymorgankane) and talk about why the 2009 smash hit, Bride Wars, Should’ve Been Gay. If watching Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway roll around on top of each other in wedding dresses was your gay awakening (like it was for Sydney), you’re in the right place. For those of you who are somehow unfamiliar, Bride Wars tells the incredibly queer story of two childhood best friends, Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Olivia (Kate Hudson), who have been planning their Pride month weddings at The Plaza since their dress-up, house-playing days. When the two do finally get engaged, their weddings end up accidentally booked for the same day in June and chaos ensues as both women proceed to lose their minds. With the wedding date rapidly approaching, Liv and Emma commence an elaborate game of chicken and petty sabotage in the hopes of getting the other to cancel before finally deciding to attempt to share the venue. Since Bride Wars is about two heterosexual couples getting married, we expected to see a lot more of Liv and Emma’s fiancés. Instead these guys are rarely on screen, even during the wedding planning stages. There is not one ounce of romance or desire shown between the couples. In the end, Emma even leaves her own wedding to go wrestle Liv, ultimately choosing to call off her entire relationship. This would’ve been such a prime set-up for our childhood sweethearts to end up together, but of course it’s 2009 and gay marriage isn’t legal nationwide yet, so we get Emma marrying Liv’s brother as a stand-in instead. Classic. We know one thing for sure, Bride Wars Should’ve Been Gay. If you are in or around L.A., you can catch Sydney’s musical comedy special, Wife Material, live on April 21st at the Roxy. Tickets are available now. You can support our little show by shopping small at bit.ly/lezmerch & picking up Lez-ssentials songs on Bandcamp.
