It Pod to Be You: Episode 83 - Desert Hearts

Happy Pride month, romantics! Your host Manish (@vertigay314) celebrates with guest Priyanka Bose (@mspriyankabose) with their pick, the seminal lesbian romance DESERT HEARTS, directed by Donna Deitch. The two talk about the lovely filmmaking, thoughtful themes, and strong performances of this influential queer classic. Starring Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau, the 1985 indie film was the first feature film with a positive lesbian storyline which is wild to think about! It's greatly entertaining, wistful, romantic, sexy, and quite fresh to this day!
