Where I discuss all the books, TV shows and films I have been reading and watching the previous week with a cup of green tea! So if wanna listen to me chill and chat and get some new recommendations come listen along!
This year I had the immense privilege as a lesbian to cover the BFI Flare Film Festival as press. In this round up podcast I go through each film I went to see describing it and giving a few bits about why I loved each film. I have left the time stamps for each film and the Letterboxd page and trailer (if there is one available). There will also be longer form written reviews coming out as the week goes on which I will link below.
THERE IS A MISTAKE IN THIS PODCAST IF I MAKE IT TO THE MORNING IS THE SHORT FILM AND LUCKY APARTMENT IS THE FEATURE FILM!
