Pride Mini-Series: Hedda & "Queer Bending" in Modern Storytelling

Happy Pride! We are back with year two of our Pride Mini-series, celebrating Queer artists in Film and Media. After tracking the progression of Queer Cinema last year, the team is back to discuss various topics and give you new recommendations in this four-part series.This week, the team discusses ‘Queer Bending,’ inspired by Hedda (2025), and what it means to tell a known story from a Queer perspective. They also break down ‘Queer Baiting’ and what that means in 2026. On top of it all, they give their recs, hot takes, and rants as we dive deeper into Queer media and history. Check out our full Pride Watchlist on Letterboxd here! On this episode:Sara CiplickasClaire May LewisMariana FabianJake Fittipaldi  Support the showSubscribe for Early Access and Video:The Rolling Tape PatreonListen Here:SpotifyApple PodcastsAll Listening PlatformsHave questions?
