On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are going out on a secret road trip! We watched the 2015 film from Todd Haynes, Carol.

Ugh\\u2026 Men, am I right? A bunch of jealous, shallow, timid bunch of jerk-faces who can\\u2019t seem to let love blossom if it ever interferes what they think is rightfully theirs. Doubly so for jerk-faces in the \\u201850s.

Would it have been so wrong to let Therese and Carol travel the world together, seeing the sights and having romantic, steamy sex in roadside motel rooms? Is their obvious love for each other a bad thing?

I say, HELL NO! In any era, hell no. I don\\u2019t give a damn if times were different in the \\u201850s, their love was genuine and beautiful.

There\\u2019s still a long way to go, but at least Therese and Carol wouldn\\u2019t have to hide their relationship now the way they did then. That\\u2019s probably one of the greatest tragedies of this film: If only they had been alive and together several decades later\\u2026
