S4E18.5: Sam
🕑 Added 2025-07-18 13:01:33 +0000 UTCI saw the TV Glow. The People's Joker. Hedwig and the Angry Inch. All titans of transgender cinema that capture three very distinct modes of being transgender. Today, Katie Tightpussy has joined us to offer us a fourth: Mel Brooks' adult son Nicky has pulled in every favour he had to create what I can only describe as a pitch-perfect silver screen adaptation of a fictionmania story.
If you know what that is, let me assure you that you read that correctly. If you don't? Well, we've got just under two hours of us yelling about it.
This... is Sam.

FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can.
-Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine

-Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla
https://www.waterislifegaza.org/
-Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also

-Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches

Yeah but I actually do wish that though.

This is by far one of the best episodes of this podcast. I got so invested in this story because of what I learned about it's creator and how significant all these aspects of the story were in that context. It's beautiful, it's tragic. Nicky, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you can hear this message: There is still time.

Stop calling out my fashion choices. I'm definitely still cis!

In a discussion of muppets at the GIC, did anyone talk about how Janice is canonically trans? I'm *reasonably* sure Richard Hunt said as much (though with different nomenclature) in an interview.

hey it's not *always* magic sometimes it's science-flavored magic and there's an injection or a ray beam and someone in a lab coat. ahem.
