With Winter Olympic prep and coverage taking over my work week, this week is a great time to drop a free look at Required Reading, our Patreon-exclusive series all about conversations in media, particularly pro wrestling and cinema.

We discuss Sandy Parker & Paulla Kaye vs. Chiyo Obata & Terumi Sakura from 1974 and Parker's trailblazing career as a Black lesbian in pro wrestling alongside Dunye's 1996 film focused on discovering Black lesbian history in film, preservation of culture and how the power structures that have been historically in charge of said preservation forget about marginalized people and their stories.As always, spoliers aplenty in our discussion.Follow Brian Bell on Twitter, Instagram & Bluesky: @WonderboyOTMFollow LGBT In The Ring on Twitter, Instagram & Bluesky: @LGBTRingPod Support the show on Patreon: patreon.com/lgbtringpodGrab LGBT In The Ring merch on Brainbuster TeesBig thank you to Edith Surreal (@edithsurreal) for the LGBT In The Ring logoHuge thanks to Sarah & The Safe Word for the show’s theme, Formula 666 from the album Red, Hot and Holy.
