Queer and Now

Your hosts Manish (@themanish89) and David (@daveagiannini) reach the year 2016. It’s the year Moonlight was released, the Academy Award Best Picture winner, directed by Barry Jenkins and starring Trevante Rhodes, André Holland, Janelle, Naomie Harris, and Mahershala Ali. It’s also the year Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden was released, starring Kim Min-hee, Kim Tae-ri Ha, and Jung-woo. Both are important LGBTQ films in their own right, and both are discussed in this episode!
