[theme] ROWAN: Welcome to the Queer Movie Podcast celebrating the best and worst in LGBTQ+ cinema one glorious genre at a time. I'm Rowan Ellis and this is Hot Takes. In Hot takes episodes, I'm joined by a guest who comes ready to go with three queer movie Hot Takes that they will need to persuade me off in three arguments or less. I am very excited to have on the show my friend, Connie Glynn! CONNIE:  Hello. I hope you're all already because chaos is coming.  ROWAN:  I'm very excited. Connie is known for being the author of the extremely gay books, The Rosewood Chronicles, which do not get enough gay street cred as I think they deserve.  CONNIE: They don't, it's like nobody knows it's gay, and it could not be more gay. ROWAN: But there are no heterosexuals in the series. ROWAN: You didn't mean– okay.  CONNIE: Which I didn't mean to do. I just didn't have time to slot them in. ROWAN: Didn't have time to find the time. CONNIE: That's true. ROWAN: They take up so much time those heterosexuals. So yeah, we are going to be going one by one through these Hot Takes. Do you have a specific order for these Connie, that you would like to–  CONNIE:  Yeah. Okay, so let's see. So some of these, I would say are a little spicier, and some I reckon– ROWAN:  Okay. CONNIE: Everyone will agree with and it will take very little persuasion. But that one's also kind of boring. So let's just do that one first. ROWAN:  Okay, we'll get that one out of the way.  CONNIE: Yeah. ROWAN: Give me the hot take. CONNIE: Honestly, I  don't believe even as I'm about to tell you, this Hot Take, that this hasn't already come up. Like I think I'm just going to be preaching with the choir. And that is Simon from, Love, Simon. His friends are actually the worst. ROWAN:  Okay, I'm–Pretend you; we aren't on a Zoom call, and you can't see my face here. I gave nothing away. I was still trapped. Wow, okay, what an interesting hot take, would you like to take me through your reasoning? Because I don't already have an opinion about this. CONNIE: I'm sure this is totally out of the blue and nobody's ever thought of this before. Oka
