Ever wondered how opinion polls work? As election fever grows – so does the importance of opinion polls which today are an essential part of modern political life. Political strategists, voters and the media all lap up the data generated – but where does it come from? How many people do you need to interview to get trustworthy data? and just how easy is it to predict the future based on the opinions of the present?

Join Saer — a 20-year-old queer fangirl who spends too much on the internet — and Robert — an almost 50-year-old movie buff — as we look at queer representation in television and movies. Saer’s been in just about every fandom for at least a week, and Robert was an ally way before it was cool. We will examine notable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, and popular crack-ships throughout history, including: Reddie, Destiel, Twillow, and many more. We will also talk about important history-making shows like Heartstopper and Young Royals. Let’s take a look at how representation has changed over time, how it has improved (or hasn’t), and where we hope representation goes from here.

A weekly conversation about representation in movies. Each episode, host Benjamin Thevenin interviews a guest about a movie that reflects their experience as part of a marginalized community. The goal is to explore how pop culture can be a way to learn more about each other, and about pressing social issues, so we can make the world better in some small way. http://benjaminthevenin.com/making/movies-as-mirrors/ moviesasmirrors@gmail.com Musical intro credit: Aidan Bay Logo credit: David Habben
