When we heard THE Madame Web was in a new movie with Captain America and the Mandalorian that's all about dating in New York City, we knew we had to do a movie club about it. Is it good? Is it bad? Either way, at least it started a dialogue.
2025-06-27 15:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostSam got married and George thinks Cuomo is going to win the primary. NO SPOILERS... he hasn't seen the results yet. Plus: the status of New York Pride, Materialists, Lorde, Haim, "Erika de Casier," The Shirt, unethical travel agents, George's secret show, and literally so much more.
2025-06-25 16:17:38 +0000 UTC View PostSummer's almost here and we're wasting NO time in getting into the vacation spirit. George recaps Italy and going Cali sober. Sam recaps Palm Springs and gay trip dynamics. Both struggle with what our vibes will be like this summer and consider if it's time to rebrand. Thrilling!!
2025-05-29 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostSam develops a new prejudice, and George receives devastating professional news. Plus: Are gay guys still going Regina George mode? Is Hozier the biggest musical act in the country? And which punk icon is a FRAUD?
2025-05-12 13:39:06 +0000 UTC View PostI've heard of straight culture... but lesbian culture?! That's the question we ask in our first ever LesbioLab: Live. And then we sit our asses down and listen. Unless we think of something hilarious to say of course! Featuring the brilliant Asha Ward, Lily Marotta, and Natalie Rotter-Laitman!
2025-04-30 10:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostWhat if a podcast hosted by two gay guys discussed things happening in media, politics, and more? Would it be illegal if they talked about Michelle Obama or Suzie Toot or even Mike White? I hope not, because then this episode would have us in big big trouble.

(START AT 24:02 IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR US FREAK OUT ABOUT "THE STATE OF THE WORLD.")
It's a lazy Saturday at StraightioLab HQ, and we are feeling both loose and completely hopeless! But as they say, c'est la vie! After a few detours into George's favorite centrist podcasts and Sam's Scottish heritage, we turn to what's really important: the fabulous ladies of RuPaul's Drag Race. Justi...

Cheers, girls! For this ep, we're having one drink and talking about every topic under the sun. Things like movies (yay!), politics (boo!), and even the vibes in New York (????). So pour yourself one single cocktail and/or glass of red and listen to two random gay guys chat.

Happy New Year! Or is it? We catch up on our holiday adventures and prepare for the horrors that lie ahead. Plus: Why can't there be a TV show about two normal girls getting dinner?

This week we're celebrating the holidays with a very special call-in episode! We take questions about the state of optimism, the pros and cons of being married to Santa, how comfortable we are with novelty, and so much more. See ya in the New Year!

Merry Christmas???? We'll be the judge of that. Today we're talking various holiday parties, the year in film, and even a new game that is sweeping the nation called "How Do You Pee?" Play it with your loved ones today!
2024-12-16 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostToto, I have a feeling we're not debating New York vs. LA anymore... today we finally cash in on Wicked Fever by going back to where it all began. Topics include: The three types of gay guys, Liza Minnelli on Arrested Development, on-set injustices, and the magic of a relaxing spa day at Emerald City! See you at new student orientation at Shiz University!

Finally we're safe in our paywalled bubble and we can freely speak on how to save the United States government. It literally isn't even that hard. Plus we talk the Martha Stewart doc, Joker 2, and holiday plans with a casualness that screams "we recorded this on a Sunday."

Our electric Bell House show from a few weeks ago is now available for at home consumption! We talk our Chase event, our big bear night out at MegaWoof, and we talk with Str8ioLab All Stars Chris Murphy, Lily Marotta, and Amy Zimmer about some classic straight topics. Only in New York!

Anora... Lady Gaga... Norma Desmond... the global pop star "Skye Riley" from the film Smile 2... Nelly from the new season of Great British Bake Off... Sky Ferreira... Amelia Earhart... These are just a few of the divas discussed in this explosive episode. And their stories matter.

What if Hollywood beauty standards...were bad? This week we're discussing this and other such complex questions presented in The Substance.

Kamala is brat, but are we? It's hard to tell. This week we're discussing the act of discussing the DNC and whether there's any intelligent way to approach it (hint: there's not). Plus, we unpack the post-coital shame of summer, ironic wedding bangers, and our lack of film education. We're crossing our fingers that this episode leads to a brand collab!!

Seasons of Love... or one thousand doves? Last month Sam confessed he almost hit play on Rent on a flight, and then a grassroots movement started. By popular demand, we finally watched the 2005 film adaptation of the groundbreaking musical that rocked generations of gay high school students, and we're here to tell the tale! From Sarah Schulman to the wickedly talented Adele Dazeem, this one goe...

Well glamour girls, we're a little late but ready to present you with a juicy check-in for the ages. From George's experience on set to Sam's Los Angeles specific run-ins, this episode has it all. Plus, a little career and creative spiraling just so no one can say we've changed. Because we haven't! In fact, we refuse to (much to our detriment).

You voted, we listened, and we prepared to record a StraightioLab Movie Club episode for the surprise-hit indie horror film Longlegs, starring the girl from It Follows, Nicholas Cage, and Miranda's ex-boyfriend. But then something crazy happened — we absolutely HATED it! So instead we muse on the biggest stories of last week, including: George's birthday, Biden's big announcement, Kamala...

We're halfway through Pride and let's just say it's WEIGHING on us. Luckily we have a lot to catch up on, including exclusive backstage gossip from the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, major life updates, a Drag Race reckoning, and a check-in on the state of WORDS in ART (Jenny Holzer, Nina West, etc.)
2024-06-17 11:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostWe're late and radically forgiving ourselves for it! We're talking about being flops on the red carpet not worthy of being photographed, the failing movie industry, and whether or not Charli XCX has eras. Plus whatever else we feel like because we can't be tamed!!!!

Discussed within: Satanic rituals, workplace sexual harassment, Anne Hathaway, expired deli meat, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, writing vs. editing, and of course... the FEAR OF MISSING OUT! (a term we came up with) PLUS: We make a first attempt to define the ethos of this upcoming summer!
