A podcast talking about queerness in pop culture. We will look at tv shows, movies, and books that have queer characters; why queer representation is important; why it is best to hire queer actors to play queer characters; and other issues.
Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are talking about the 2024 book The Rules of Royalty by Cale Dietrich. The book is about two boys, Jamie and Erik, who meet when Erik is asked to teach Jamie how to be a prince. It's a really fun book and I think you'll really enjoy it.
Our next episode will be about the book Crash Test.

Father Material
Welcome back to Queerly Popular! Today, we are talking about the book Father Material, which is the third book in the series which includes Boyfriend Material and Husband Material which we talked about a little over 3 years ago. The book is about Lucien and Oliver completely settled down and living their lives together. The book really is the perfect ending to the series.
I forgot to mention this in the episode, but the narrator of the audiobook is Joe Jameson, who was Charlie in the audiobooks of Nick & Charlie and This Winter.
Our next episode will be about the book The Rules of Royalty.

Masters of the Universe
Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to talk about the 2026 film Masters of the Universe.
This film does not have queer characters, but there is a lot of homoeroticism in it and other queer elements, including a systematic critique of toxic masculinity. It is a fun and lovely film that does not take itself too seriously. It is cheesy and it knows it. It embraces the cheese and is all the better for it. I really cannot recommend this movie highly enough.
