Plus: BAFTAs fallout, Unrivaled playoff predictions, and Am I a Bad Queer? (cringing at “lesbian,” keeping the strap moment hot, and friends not taking lesbian dating seriously).

We linked with our play cousins, Aury and Sheria of The Strap Down podcast, to review Hedda (2025) for this bonus episode. Get into this in-depth and (un)serious review of remade classic starring bicon, Tessa Thompson, and directed by Nia DaCosta. We discuss how this version holds up to the original play, the characters, scene association, and our rating for the movie.
As you might expect, our episode is full of spoilers. We highly recommend you watch the movie before enjoying this episode.

January gave us 31 straight days of heavy headlines, complicated feelings, and very little rest.
This week, we unpack the aftermath of Alex Pretti’s killing, talk through Kanye West’s latest apology (and what’s conveniently happening next), and discuss Brittney Griner’s new documentary debuting at Sundance Film Festival.
Plus, Am I A Bad Queer? gets into choosing white queer spaces over straight Black ones, muting activist friends for your own sanity, and rejoining dating apps before a breakup is official. We wrap with Bad Queer Opinions and a community check-in on where we even go from here with TikTok.
One of the only good things to come out of January -Bad Queers is nominated for Queerties award Best Podcast.
