🎉 NEW EPISODE! 🎉

What’s it like to collaborate creatively with your spouse... and still want to have dinner together after?

This week, we’re joined by Joe Forte, screenwriter (FIREWALL) and longtime writing partner (and husband!) of Meg LeFauve.

This list was lovingly compiled with input from many members of the LGBTQ+ community.

While we haven’t had time to watch all 80 films and TV shows (yet!), we’re trusting the taste and recommendations of folks we admire.

Everyone’s experience is different, so while these titles resonated with many, they might not speak to everyone. Think of this as a starting point — not a definitive guide.

Happy watching, and Happy Pride!

🏳️‍🌈,
Team TSL

🎉 OUR 250TH EPISODE IS HERE! 🎉

When you’re pitching — whether it’s on studio IP or your own original idea — what sets you apart is your "take."

But what does that actually mean?

This week, showrunner/producer/director Jac Schaeffer (WANDAVISION, AGATHA ALL ALONG) breaks it down.
