Frameline 2025 - Lesbian Space Princess and Wicket

Send us Fan MailWe're topping off our coverage of the Frameline Film Festival with a hilarious animated comedy, and a documentary about a Bay Area legend.Lesbian Space Princess is an animated film about a space princess who is thrust out of her sheltered life into a galactic quest to save her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend from the Straight White Maliens. Co-directors/co-writers Emma Hough Hobbs and (return guest) Leela Varghese join us to laugh about their spectacular lesbian pun making abilities, their thoughts on whether scrapbooks are a good gift for a significant other, and their continued work with the talented Shabana Azeez.Wicket is a documentary about legendary Bay Area Bboy Wicket, from his rise to international fame, to his loneliness and isolation from living in the closet, and his ultimate decision to come out after falling in love. Director Lily Plotkin joins us to share her excitement at the amount of archival footage on vhs that she got to sift through, the beautiful love story at the heart of this film, and whether or not she was able to learn some dance moves from Wicket.Wicket screens at the Roxie Theater on June 27th, for more info, click here!Follow Frameline Film Festival on IGFollow Lesbian Space Princess on IGFollow director Emma Hough Hobbs on IGFollow director Leela Varghese on IGFollow director Lily Plotkin on IGSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!
