Episode 14 - Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

Queer Girl Film Club

Queer Girl Film Club or Queer Bait Film Club? This week the team welcome a very special guest, Melissa John-Charles, to discuss whether 90s classic Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) is hiding its queer light or whether it’s an outright lesbian love story. Holly certainly is convinced that there is no heterosexual explanation for this film.

Join the gang as they discuss apiculture (keeping bee hives), books about cannibalism (classic Alice), and fashion (we are not sponsored by Lucy & Yak but we would certainly like to be). There’s also a heated debate as to whether the Kathy Bates bits of the film are the best or worst bits.

CN: Discussion of cannibalism, domestic abuse, racism, swearing, discussion of a sexual nature and spoilers.
