We'd like you very much on with the show that. [theme] JAZZA:  Welcome to the Queer Movie Podcast, celebrating the best— ROWAN:  And worst — JAZZA:  In LGBTQ+ cinema one glorious genre at a time. ROWAN:  I'm Rowan Ellis. JAZZA:  And I am Jazza John. ROWAN:  In each episode, we discuss a queer movie from a different genre of cinema. JAZZA:  This episode genre is— JAZZA&ROWAN:  Queer Adaptation. JAZZA:  Hmm. Glorious. Today we're going to be talking about the latest manifestation of Harry Styles's locked-down hobby, acting with the film adaptation of the book by Bethan Roberts, My Policeman. ROWAN:  But before we see if we can make this 1950s trouble work, Jazza, what's the gayest thing that you've done since the last episode? JAZZA:  Well, we just had Halloween.  ROWAN:  We indeed. JAZZA:  And Halloween is of course gay Christmas, and I hate dressing up, but because I have some friends who are professional drag queens. They make—so I came up with a hugely original never before done idea of being a lesbian Velma. Because les—um— lesbian is now canonically Velma. ROWAN:  Hmm. Stunning. JAZZA:  But not only was I lesbian Velma. So I had the orange turtleneck and everything. But I also decided to make it slutty because that makes it, that's a gay Halloween costume. ROWAN:  Happy Halloween. JAZZA:  Isn't it? As I was looking around H&M, as one does when you are last-minute shopping for a Halloween costume. There were a surprising number of turtleneck options, some woolen, some made of some stretchy fabric that definitely isn't biodegradable. Among these was a beautiful extra small, stretchy crop top turtleneck in the appropriate color. ROWAN:  Thank goodness it was stretchy.  JAZZA:  And—Thank goodness it was stretchy. Luckily enough my AAA cup for boobs beautifully fills out  ROWAN:  That broad pectorals could not be contained with a nonstretchy, extra smooth top JAZZA:  100% And I sat there looking great, freezing my ass off in the smoking area of this party that I went to. Draped in the lesbian flag that I had purchased as part of my outfit. ROWAN:  Rude of Velma to not wear a coat canonically. JAZZA:I can confirm that polyester pride flags are not the best thing at maintaining heat and maintaining warmth in British autumn. But they—I've learned my lesson. ROWAN:  Good to know. JAZZA:  And I will probably make the same area again. How about you? What was your gay thing? ROWAN:  You know, why not? I'll do— Halloween is inherently gay Christ
