About this episode
The episode features a discussion on the film 'Morocco' and its cultural impact, particularly regarding LGBTQ+ representation.
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer, historian, and filmmaker Morgan M Page for this iconic Josef von Sternberg flick from 1930, which introduced bisexual icon Marlene Dietrich to Hollywood audiences. We discuss the infamous "sewing circle" of sapphic starlets popularized by Dietrich, a multitude of affairs, one era-defining on-screen lesbian kiss, lethal top energy, running into the desert for love, and, of course, Jojo Siwa.
