Out Takes Recommends: Winter 2024 edition

Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities July 1, 2024 Duration: 52:01

As has become tradition on Out Takes over the past few years, we used this show to rate, review and recommend a very diverse range of films and television for you to check out this winter on the big and small screen. From queer coded classic movies to brand new TV shows, there is literally something for everyone to enjoy. We also threw in an encore presentation of our June 2023 interview with the fabulously funny Nina Oyama and Tom Ballard to celebrate their three well deserved Logie nominations for ‘Deadloch’, the certified Out Takes favourite Aussie series of last year.

Also, to Electric Light Orchestra fans everywhere, we’d like to sincerely apologise for one of our hosts confusing the title of their classic tune ‘Evil Woman’ (as recently heard on the incredible season 3 opening of ‘Hacks’) with Cliff Richard’s ‘Devil Woman’. He has been reprimanded for this crime and will be listening to this wonderful Hacks playlist on repeat to avoid any further mistakes or embarassment for himself and the program. Let us know too what you rate and recommend this winter via email or on Instagram and follow us for updates on what’s coming up, giveaways and more!
