#backspot — Public Fediverse posts

First up: I interviewed the incredible #DeveryJacobs about their role in #Backspot! We talked about the importance of inter-generational relationships within the queer community, how their queerness is “intrinsically entwined” with their Indigenous identity, and what queer audiences are finding hot in a film that deliberately subverts the male gaze and the way cheerleaders are usually sexualised in media. (Spoiler: it’s how mean Evan Rachel Wood’s character is.) https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2024/06/11721288/devery-jacobs-backspot-movie-queer-character
