#109 - Prime Video’s Anything’s Possible | Directed by Billy Porter (with Meggie Gates of YA, We Read It!)

Tune in as the show kicks off Pride Month by covering queer content for the next four episodes of June! On this first week, Meggie Gates, a returning guest who cohosts the book podcast YA, We Read It! with Laura Petro, hops back onto 2CC for a discussion on Anything’s Possible, the queer coming-of-age rom-com that dropped on Prime Video back in 2022. Talking points for this episode include questioning the movie’s generous portrayal of Reddit, the pitfalls of policing queer labels, and all that ableist crap in The Good Doctor. Directed by Billy Porter, Anything’s Possible stars Eva Reign, Abubakr Ali, Courtnee Carter, Kelly Lamor Wilson, Grant Reynolds, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Miriam Laube, Manu Narayan, and Naveen Paddock.
