153: Rosa Diaz Is Bi... And Brooklyn Nine-Nine Is Copaganda
“Game Night” (December 12, 2017)
Right off the top of the bat, we need to admit that yes, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a show about cops. There’s no getting around that. We try our best to discuss how to weight its copaganda status against every other aspect of the show, and while we’re not going to try to sell anyone on this show, we will say that dismissing it means skipping over one of the better episodes of a sitcom ever to address bisexuality head-on. Speaking of addressing bisexuality head-on, we’re joined by Queer Quadrant co-host Brooke Solomon to discuss the Michael Schurverse, Eleanor Shellstrops on other shows and why Stephanie Beatriz is awesome.
