The Geeks OUT Podcast: A Spider-Man for All Seasons

The Geeks OUT Podcast

Opinions, reviews, incisive discussions of queer geek ideas in pop culture, and the particularly cutting brand of shade that you can only get from a couple of queer geeks all in highly digestible weekly doses.

In this week’s episode of the Geeks OUT Podcast, Kevin is joined by Will Choy, as they discuss our first look at Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part 1), news of potentially more Spider-Man movies, and question the significance of a cis-straight white male cast in the new season of Drag Race in This Week in Queer.
