Gal Pals Watch Foxfire

Episode 85: Foxfire

Hey queer cuties! This week Alicia and Sarah are digging into one of the greatest queer movies of all time that is not (but kinda is) explicitly queer: 1996's Foxfire. This movie launched Angelina Jolie's (tragically not gay enough) career! And also has so many great people in it including the Jennys: Jenny Lewis and Jenny Shimizu! The latter of which we all remember as being one of Angelina Jolie's queer flames, because they met on this movie! And that's just one of the many layers on this girl-gang cake. Join us as we discuss all the ways in which we love this movie, both despite and because of how very 90s queer it is.
