The reality hole (QR 114)

from Queerly Recommended

Basement daddies? Going down the reality hole? What sort of podcast have you stumbled along? Luckily Kris and Tara, are here to educate and enlighten. This week, Kris recounts her most recent card show, while Tara sighs wistfully at the memory of a week's staycation before heading back to work.  Official Recommendations  From Kris: The Old Guard 2 (2025) Kris's official recommendation this week is The Old Guard 2 (2025), starring Kris's wife from another timeline, Charlize Theron. Andy leads a group of do-gooder immortal mercenaries known as the Old Guard while processing her grief from losing her love 500 years ago, when shitheads dumped her in the sea. But the love survived and is back for revenge on Andy for giving up on finding her (to be fair, though, she put in a solid half-millennium). Kris and Tara also share their thoughts on immortality. Good? Bad? You decide! From Tara: Learning Curves by Rachel Lacey Tara's official recommendation this week is Learning Curves by Rachel Lacey. It's a cozy sapphic romance set in a Vermont university. A bubbly new professor returns to her alma mater to teach, only to learn that her undergrad advisor and former crush is still hot, but super grumpy. A charm offensive ensues, and so does a beautiful story. Tara loved this one!
