I remember the joy of finding little lesbian indie movie gems (hey, they weren’t all bad – OK a lot of them were bad) while seated in dark arthouse theaters. Now, sapphic cinematic offerings are just a click away. But the thrill of finding something that speaks to your little gay heart? Well, that’s got to be the same. And something about the coming-of-age cute as “Egghead & Twinkie” speaks to me. It also helps that I am also an Asian “Twinkie.” And gay. The indie about a gay teen girl (Twinkie) and her male bestie (Egghead) looks kind of adorbs. You know, in a Gen Z meets Riot Grrrl kinds of way. Wait, do the kids still say adorbs? Oh cares, adorbs! I have high hopes for this film. Also, kinda neat to have so many movies about queer women to choose from at once this year that I can have a Lesbian Movie Trailer Week in the first place.
Thank you for finding and sharing these gems with us. DS you are the best.
