Damian BellinoGUEST
L word.
Damian BellinoGUEST
What are they talking? Is it right though, Jess? What are they talking about? I guess the L word, which like it seems like they hate talking about, but it says it is the thing that people want to talk to them about.
Anne RodemanGUEST
Kate Medig wants to talk about Ray Donovan and Young Americans.
Anne RodemanGUEST
Not Young Americans.
9 MINS LATER
Anne RodemanGUEST
Jess, I'm not sure where you stand on her.
JessHOST
All roads go back to Bethany.
JessHOST
Bethany, I think, is my human version of the L word.
Anne RodemanGUEST
Say more.
Kaila StoryGUEST
For me, I felt like this was a replication, the lack of visibility in even queer film and queer television.
Kaila StoryGUEST
When it came to specifically lesbian identity, I mean, we've had two iterations of The L Word.
Blair HodgesHOST
Yeah.
Kaila StoryGUEST
We had the first series of The L Word and then we had the reboot.
Blair HodgesHOST
Um, the, the generation
Kaila StoryGUEST
Q, honey, still the same thing.
Emma WillmannHOST
Yes.
Emma WillmannHOST
Like it's like kind of like Dana and L word.
Emma WillmannHOST
Yeah.
Emma WillmannHOST
I did that from like into college until like two years after I would say.
26 MINS LATER
Emma WillmannHOST
Very rarely, I would say, do I hear someone say, da-da-da, they're a lesbian.
Emma WillmannHOST
Oh, they're gay.
Carolyn BergierGUEST
I feel like it's having a comeback, but then, yeah, I do know lesbians who would rather say, like, one of my closest friends is a lesbian, and she just says she's gay for the most part, even though, like, all we do is talk about the L word.
Emma WillmannHOST
I love that goddamn child.
Carey O'DonnellHOST
kidding.
Carey O'DonnellHOST
But I did watch, I started watching The L Word for the first time this year.
Carey O'DonnellHOST
The real L Word.
Carey O'DonnellHOST
Like the actual.
Lauren OylerHOST
But like, I think it's just very relatable because that's the position most people are in.
Lauren OylerHOST
And I also know, just because we were talking about the 90s, when we were talking about the 90s and we were talking about sort of the popular culture around this book, Autobiography of Red is like a feature on an episode of The L Word, the lesbian 90s show, a drama, I guess, TV show, which I only know from the discourse around this book the last week or whatever.
Lauren OylerHOST
But like one of the girl, like I don't know the characters, but one of them is like, Do you know Autobiography of Red? And the other one's like, it's my favorite book.
Lauren OylerHOST
So it's kind of like a sort of pansexual.
NellieHOST
Jerry Goldsmith is played by Chris Hardwick from Married With Children, Terminator 3 and Halloween 2.
NellieHOST
Denise Willis is played by Erin Daniels from The L Word, The Bling Ring and Shaky...
NellieHOST
I don't know what I've written there.
NellieHOST
Shaky...
Charlotte HigginsHOST
Anyway, but Autobiography of Red, by the way, I know...
Charlotte HigginsHOST
If anyone's ever seen The L Word, which was quite a cultish lesbian kind of TV series set in the early 2000s, a sort of riposte to Sex and the City because it's lesbians and it's in Los Angeles as opposed to straight women in New York.
Charlotte HigginsHOST
Anyway, in the first episode, it's got this amazing scene where And very glamorous, Marina asks Jenny Schechter, have you read any Anne Carson? And Jenny says, yes, I've read Autobiography of Red and Eros, The Bittersweet.
Charlotte HigginsHOST
I think those books changed my life or something like that.
Charlotte HigginsHOST
And then Very, very shortly afterwards, these women are snogging in the loo.
Charlotte HigginsHOST
So, you know, this is how far Anne Carson has leapt into popular culture.
Charlotte HigginsHOST
But, you know, as evinced by this little scene in The L Word, you know, Eris the Busy Sweet and Autobiography of Red are probably the major, the most famous works.
Charlotte HigginsHOST
And Autobiography of Red was the work that kind of pushed her into this world of, being given MacArthur genius Grant and pushed her into being seen as a major literary figure, not as it were straightforwardly classicist.
Hunter HarrisHOST
has been, really.
Peyton DixHOST
Did you watch The L Word? And the L word reboot, maybe.
Peyton DixHOST
Did it come? Like, even just now.
Peyton DixHOST
It's just like the L. I know.
Chlöe SwarbrickGUEST
It was, yeah, I mean, to tie that back to going through high school and not really having, you know, when you like boys and you like girls, and the way that queer women in particular were represented was a very particular, you know, aesthetic of a lesbian thing.
Chlöe SwarbrickGUEST
I hadn't watched The L Word at that point in time.
Chlöe SwarbrickGUEST
But I was just like, okay, cool.
Chlöe SwarbrickGUEST
I don't really know where I fit in this and I'm very confused.
EzHOST
That'll be worth seeing as well.
EzHOST
I'm also from the generation of loving the L word.
EzHOST
So if you were, if you're an L word fan, if you're a big L word fan, there's actually L word trivia, um, from the October 22nd also at Quiver.
EzHOST
Um, so you can check that one out.
EzHOST
Um, no tears for queers.
