Hello and welcome to a Gay Lane first: a quasi-film review! Disney and Pixar movies have always been special to us (ahem especially Matt), and a new release is often an opening-weekend pastime. This week, that meant seeing Elio, an outta-this-world adventure about a lonely boy grappling with grief and isolation — who literally manifests an alien abduction to fit in. On this episode, we retrace the journey, share our immediate reactions, and discuss what made it feel surprisingly relatable (don’t listen if you want to avoid spoilers!).
Thank you for reading, following, and listening!
With Pride,
Matt and Nathan

We take great Pride in authenticity and originality, and that means going the extra mile — or thousands of miles — to celebrate queer culture in unexpected places. This may sound simple, but it takes a great deal of intentional effort, time, and resources to bring this to life with the quality and care that we believe it deserves. Your support makes all the difference.
