Tune in as the program wraps up Pride Month by dropping its final queer media-focused episode of June! Arthur’s friends Jared and Misty Rose return to 2CC to break down Love, Simon, the 2018 film adaptation of the 2015 queer YA book Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. A few of the topics they discuss include guesstimating the queer youth population of Atlanta, sneaking onto the Internet via incognito mode, the huge missed opportunity for a Leah on the Offbeat adaptation, and Jared misunderstanding the name of Simon’s email account.
Directed by Greg Berlanti, Love, Simon stars Nick Robinson, Alexandra Shipp, Katherine Langford, Logan Miller, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jennifer Garner, Josh Duhamel, Keiynan Lonsdale, Tony Hale, Natasha Rothwell, Talitha Bateman, Miles Heizer, Joey Pollari, Clark Moore, and Drew Starkey.
