Imagine Me & You.... Living Our Truths Sep 18, 2019

Welcome back to episode 11 of Top Hat Topics. We sit down for a good old lesbian classic and all around feel good film- Imagine Me & You, spit some serious truths and dedicate this entire episode of laughter to our sweet Lister Sister Kimberly Lawless Ivora who left this world for the next recently.

The moral of the story for this episode is to live your truth, laugh hard and often, and love eachother with a fierceness- always.

Beecharmers Make Great Lesbians Aug 29, 2019

Welcome back for episode 10 of Top Hat Topics. This week we take a deep dive into another beautiful, lesbian love story that is near and dear to our hearts- Fried Green Tomatoes. We make some Gentleman Jack comparisons, and discuss some hard issues of the American South dealing with homophobia, the ugliness of institutionalized racism, and the way grief manifests differently in people. We have a long wait until season 2, so hold on tight as we tie in as much as we can (even by a long shot) to our beloved Gentleman Jack.

**WARNING** This episode contains discussion on some hard subjects including domestic violence, racism, and terminal illness.

**We do not own the rights to any portion of audio from the film Fried Green Tomatoes that may be heard in the background, rights are reserved to Universal Pictures**

Short and Sweet.....Allegedly Aug 19, 2019

In our first hiatus episode of Top Hat Topics we give you a recap of Gentleman Jack season 1 in our own words, discuss highs and lows (which really just lead to highs), our season 2 predictions, and a load of banter regarding the absolute magic of this story and what we have coming your way. We thought this would be short and sweet and it turned out to be our longest episode. Cheers.
