Pizza Girl, My Gay Awakening with Sara Monge
About this episode
The episode features a humorous essay about a gay awakening story titled 'Pizza Girl' by Sara Monge.
This week’s essay follows a hilarious gay awakening story called “Pizza Girl” and is by screenwriter and director Sara Monge. Angry, tired, and 24. This story takes place at a film school Halloween house party, a classic place to figure out you’re so fucking gay. Sara specializes in grounded, queer comedies. She wrote and directed the 2025 LGBTQ+ short film Happy Place, which follows a woman exploring her sexuality at a lesbian engagement party (it’s so good!!). Content warnings this week are recreational alcohol consumption and drug use. This week’s essay will be performed by Maureen O'Boyle!
