LezCast is back recapping episode six of the first season of A League of Their Own! This episode is particularly filled with a lot of emotional turmoil. Both KJ and Amanda discuss how hard and intense it was watching the episode. And with the way things are going in our country, KJ is reminded by the episode that no matter where you fit in, in the LGBTQ+ acronym, you would have been thrown in jail during that time.
Amanda and KJ breakdown the beats of the episode, and of course the consistent referencing of The Wizard of Oz. KJ explains how different black people and white people can view things, and is not surprised when Clance see's Dorothy as the villain of The Wizard of Oz. KJ talks about the intersectionality the show is portraying, and that she didn't expect that necessarily from Abbi Jacobson. Amanda and KJ love the character of Bert. They see him as a smooth, cool, well-dressed cat and KJ brings up how important Bert is to Max's character, and how important representation is in general.
Both hosts are emotional as the ending to episode 6 is discussed. There's a lot of fear, pain and questioning of what will happen next. But one thing is for sure, both hosts agree Rosie O'Donnell's portrayal of Vi was well done, and hope to see more Vi in the future.
