Out Takes Recommendations for Xmas/NY plus Awards Season review

Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities December 17, 2024 Duration: 54:51

We managed to get the whole team together for this show so we decided it was the perfect time to serve up another batch of recommendations and reviews to get you through the holidays and what is looking like a very hot summer down under.  From Aussie comedic gems like Fisk and Bump through to Queer Eye and Queer (the one with Daniel Craig), we literally had something for everyone to binge or look forward to over the holidays and well in to the new year. We also took a look at the first round of nomination announcements for the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards and celebrated the LGBTIQA+ films, television shows and perfromances who were recognised, along with a few snubs and surprises too. Tis’ the season so sit back, relax and let us help you get through the holidays with the help of some quality film and television!
