This week Biggs and Aaron take a look at the top grossing soccer (aka football) movie of all time: Bend it Like Beckham. We continue our discussion about the importance of independent film productions and examine a movie that was apparently written to celebrate queer protagonists only to try (unsuccessfully) to conceal them by the time shooting began. This opens the door for readings that can empower some, but which ultimately feel limited, and of course, introduces a whole lot of hegemonic normalization. This movie tries to have it both ways, it fails and in many ways it succeeds, but it can't be denied that it has left a demonstrable legacy in the real world of professional sports - and that's the kind of cultural construction this show is all about.
