A Podcast in a Queer Tree – Details, episodes & analysis

Nicole and Julie have yuled up and tallied their naughty deeds for our season finale, where they'll tell us about Prime’s 2022 Something From Tiffany’s. It’s got surprise proposals, it’s got jewelry mixups, it’s got a lesbian couple who (obviously) should be the stars. Thank you for joining us for Season 2! We love you!

Nicole and Julie are joined by holiday movie aficionado and friend of the pod Sarah Trower to discuss the 2023 Netflix release Best. Christmas. Ever! starring singer/songwriter/actor/queen of our hearts Brandy and some other people. Discourse includes straight white people nonsense, how cheated we all feel at the absence of Mariah Carey, and how not to be a friend. As usual, by the end of the episode, we fix all the problems with this movie through queerness and non-monogamy. Enjoy!

We were excited to do a new Marc Blucas film and it shows in this extra-long, extra silly episode about a morning show hosted by Brian Bright and Melissa Merry—Merry and Bright, get it?—which is ending on Christmas Eve, while filming live episodes in Maine the week leading up to Christmas. Bright wants to be released from his contract so he can star in a new reality series with his co-star slash girlfriend from The Bachelor - or does he?

Not so much a romcom as a filmed performance of a stage musical set in a world where Dolly Parton is a deity, this is nonetheless a showcase for both Dolly Parton and Christine Baranski, along with an impressive supporting cast and so much queer energy. We are joined by Parton aficionado Emily Davidson in what may be our longest but also deepest episode yet.

Vivian (Jessy Schram) is a type-A television director with no time to spare as she approaches the broadcast date of the not-really-live Country Christmas Live, starring a pair of female country music stars, one of whom is represented by Liz's ex and also ex childhood friend Gavin (Wes Brown).

What does this movie have in common with films like The Godfather Part II, Terminator 2, and Toy Story 2? They are all sequels generally regarded to be better than their predecessors. And what makes The Princess Switch 2 better than its predecessor? A throuple of Hudgens!

We are joined to witness this cinematic event by our first returning guest Hadley Staite, with a brief appearance within that appearance by our second returning guest Alison Cooley. Join us as we bask in the glory that is Fiona, plus Nicole discovers social media, Hadley wants your LinkedIn endorsements, and we are concerned about the fate of Cellar Stacy.

Netflix's shared universe of romantic holiday movies returns with 2018's The Princess Switch starring Vanessa Hudgens as Stacy, the fresh-faced and humble baker invited to an international competition in the micronation of Belgravia, where she meets Vanessa Hudgens as Margaret, the dutiful duchess who just wants a couple days off to cosplay Roman Holiday. 

Faster than you can say "vaguely incestuous" or "probably a felony," the two fun-loving Gabriellas swap places like so many Parent Traps. Friend of the podcast Hadley Staite joins us to dispense nuggets of wisdom like doses of Benzedrene.

On the 12th date of Christmas, Hallmark sent to me:

A sexist prick who knows about trees.

Fortunately, we have special guest Tanisi Pooran to help us decipher this story of people who make romantic scavenger hunts for all the top firms in Chicago while balancing their careers and their decrepit homes.

There’s no greater academic fantasy than falling in love with the historical figure you got a PhD in studying. In this timeless episode we are joined by literal comedian Jordan Roberts for a wild tale of time travel, homemade jewelry, and how lazy writing looks like magical realism if you hold it up to the light in just the right way. Once again, our guest lobs an explosive revelation about the film and we are gobsmacked.

The last few episodes have been pretty heavy, so it's time for a palate cleanser: a Hallmark movie about how the crown prince and queen of a micronation are stuck at a perky nurse's family inn for Christmas. The cast are from Broadway and we wish they would sing more.
