For this edition of WWW, the team uncovers the movies and tv shows that transported us to new worlds. When the lights dim and it’s only you and the story on screen, the anticipation begins to build. Read on to dive into Yellowjackets, The Invisible Guest, Money Heist, Search Party, and American Horror Stories.

Our TLL team to share their favorite portrayals of WLW (women-loving-women) on screen - Fear Street Trilogy, Vida, Go Fish, and Adventure Time Distant Lands: Obsidian. From the daily lives of lesbians to teen love-meets-horror, this month we’re sharing our favorite women-loving-women shows and movies in hopes you’ll find something new to watch or just feel a little more understood in your experience.

As summer starts to creep closer, we’re getting in the mood to sing out loud! Music is such incredible art and everyone has different tastes so we’ve landed on some musicals that vary in their genre too. Read on to be introduced (or fall in deeper love with) In the Heights, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rent, In the Heights, Dreamgirls and Singin’ in the Rain.

The movies, TV, music, fashion, and aesthetic of the decade are iconic – even if you weren’t alive during that time, there’s a good chance that something from the 80s has had an impact on your life! On The Light Leaks team, we each have a movie or TV show that we wanted to introduce from this time period - Aliens, The Golden Girls Moonstruck, Crossing Delancey, and the Breakfast Club.

Even though The Light Leaks celebrates women and non-binary filmmakers year-round, we can never resist an opportunity to shine a spotlight on talented creators and their work. So this month’s What We’re Watching is 100% dedicated to Women Behind the Camera with But I’m A Cheerleader, Mucho Mucho Amor, Starstruck, 10 Things I Hate About You, and The Broken Hearts Gallery.

Galentine's Day is usually when people celebrate their love for their friends. But here at TLL, we’d like to take the gendered assumptions out of the day (gender is just a construct after all) and think of it as ‘Pal-entine’s day’ going forward. This month our team shares their favs:⁠ The Sex Lives of College Girls⁠, Plan B⁠, Pen15⁠, Derry Girls, and ⁠Betty⁠.

What We’re Watching’ is taking a Study Break to explore the films and TV shows that make us wish we could go back to school. The experience of school-aged youths is not one-size-fits-all so our picks: DC's Stargirl, Sex Education, The Edge of Seventeen, Genera+ion, and All American aren’t either! Find the show for your taste and mood!

In this edition of What We’re Watching, we’re sharing some of our favorite movies and TV shows featuring LGBTQ+ characters, creators, and actors. Read on to learn about Euphoria, Disclosure, The Half of It, Summerland, and Shiva Baby! While LGBTQ+ representation on screen still has a long way to go, TLL’s team picked the shows and movies that have educated us, entertained us, and have made us feel a little less alone!

Losing a television series you love can feel crushing. You’re left as a fan with questions that will never get an answer. Deadly Class, Dare Me, Sweet/Vicious, I Am Not Okay With This, and High Fidelity are some of our team’s picks for the shows they’ll never stop mourning the loss of. Read on for these reccs!

This edition of What We’re Watching is all about HEROES! A hero is defined as “a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities”. They don’t have to wear a cape, mask, or costume (though that can definitely be a bonus), they just have to inspire others with what they do. Check out why we love the heroes in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Captain Marvel, Watchman, Dickinson, and Hilda!

We are celebrating Women’s History Month by sharing our favorite movie and tv recommendations that not only feature women in prominent roles as actors, but also as writers, directors, and creators. We champion women and gender non-conforming filmmakers all year long, but this month we’re making the spotlight even brighter!

Whether you’re spending the holiday single, with a partner, or with friends (virtually) the TLL team picked out their Valentines Day picks for any situation. Read why the team recommends Moonlight, Love & Basketball, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), Someone Great, and The Lovebirds!

Explore timeloops in film and television with some picks from the Light Leaks team! Read why the TLL team picked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Magicians, Russian Doll, the Twilight Zone, and Palm Springs as their recommendations for your next binge!

For this month’s What We’re Watching, we’re focusing on hopeful picks to bring some healing vibes to the mess that is 2020. Now that this undeniably heavy year finally comes to a close, here are some picks to help bring a little hope into the new year.
