Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is absolutely not down for any Mr. Linguini erasure, thank you very much.\xa0\nThis week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Sam (@conscious.altruism) and Aussie (@aussie_has_fomo), the Keep It Saussie (@keepitsaussie) duo best known for their appearance on The Ultimatum: Queer Love to talk about why the 2023 comedy Quiz Lady Should\u2019ve Been Gay. We kick off the pod by taking a little walk down memory lane to revisit Sam and Aussie\u2019s Ultimatum experience and congratulate them on being the last couple standing. Then, it\u2019s time to dive right into one of the best direct-to-streaming comedies we have seen in awhile.\xa0\nFor those of you unfamiliar with Hulu\u2019s Quiz Lady, the movie follows queer-coded sisters Jenny (Sandra Oh) and Anne (Awkwafina) as they attempt to win a game show in order to save their beloved pug Mr. Linguini from dognappers (and pay off their mother\u2019s gambling debt). Additionally, it stars Holland Taylor as grumpy neighbor Francine. From the cast alone, the movie is already off to a pretty gay start. Even though neither sister is ever explicitly stated to be part of the alphabet mafia, every single thing about them screams gay. Jenny is a classically chaotic bisexual with a Subaru and blue hair. She runs on nothing but pure 80s music video vibes and iced coffee. Younger sister Anne is a homebody gay with social anxiety, a game show hyperfixation, and an incredibly close connection with her emotional support dog Mr. Linguini. There is just no way at all to read these two as straight characters. We talk about ways to make the movie even gayer, like turning Mr. Linguini into a cat and shipping Jenny with Francine in a classic Holland Taylor age-gap relationship.\xa0\nWe know one thing for sure, Quiz Lady Should\u2019ve Been Gay.\xa0\nFollow us on Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.
