Who kissed Denzel in Gladiator II? The answer might be lost to history, but we’re still talking about it. We discuss this deleted moment and then shift to the latest update on Nex Benedict’s case and the Title IX violations at Owasso Public Schools. Shana and Kris also share what’s currently on their watchlist and solve how Netflix can setup a queer Love Is Blind. 

Kris: Are We Allowed to Just Dream? is a new book published by David Adekoya of LadderBoyz that explores the impact Black footballers have had on the growth of the Beautiful Game and the wider throes of culture.

Divided into five chapters — Beauty, Gift, Imagination, Action and Celebration — each section blends archival photography, art and design, mixed with poetic storytelling to celebrate the lives who’ve shaped football as we know it, as well as reveal the challenges that the Black community faces both on the pitch and in society.
