  • Single All the Way
    Dec 18 2025

    Welcome to the season finale of season 4 of Queerly Popular! Today, we are talking about the 2021 Netflix film Single All the Way. The movie stars Michael Urie, Philemon Chambers, Luke MacFarlane, Kathy Najimy, Jennifer Coolidge, and Barry Bostwick. It is quite the fun film and it is also a holiday rom-com filled with rom-com tropes.

    I highly recommend this film if you enjoy holiday rom-coms. The fact that the three romantic leads are all queer really helped the film out.

    We will be back in February with season 5! The schedule will come out in January, but I know we will be talking about I Wish You All The Best (film), Twinless, Wicked: For Good, and Boots. We'll probably talk about Heated Rivalry at some point, but I'm not sure when.

  • Let It Snow
    Dec 4 2025

    Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we'll be talking about the 2019 Netflix movie Let It Snow.

    This movie is a fun and fluffy Christmas teen rom-com filled with stereotypes and tropes, but don't let that discourage you from watching and enjoying it. Is it original? Nope, but it is fun and relaxing, so enjoy it for what it is.

    It also has a bunch of actors who were sort of big at the time, listen to find out which of them I knew instantly and which it took me a bit longer to recognize.

    We will be back on December 18th when we will talk about the Netflix movie SIngle All the Way.

  • Icing On the Cake
    Nov 13 2025

    Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today we are talking about the 2025 book Icing On the Cake by Christopher J. Brice. It is quite the fun romance book about a grumpy librarian and a hockey star on a college campus.

    As a warning, this book talks frequently and explicitly about sex, penises, butts, kinks, and admiration for those (and other) body parts. This episode will also make frequent references to those things, so if that bothers you, please listen carefully.

    The book is lovely and really enjoyable, so I hope the frank discussions of sex won't dissuade you from reading the book. It does appear to be the first book in a potential series, so I am waiting to hear more about that.

    We will be back on December 4th when we will talk about the Netflix movie Let It Snow.
